I have 9.3Mb RAM left on my TG50.

I tried installing Tabers Medical Dict and it wont work.
I used hotsync to install on RAm and it wont work. Tried to install the 6mb file onto 512mb memory stick pro and it wont (hotsync keeps telling me its installing and its been 10min).

I used MS import to get the 6mb file onto my stick and it worked. But then I could not get it to copy to RAM when using clie files (gives me error - cant copy from memory stick).

Whats the deal, I cant have a file bigger then 5.5Mb????

Any patches?

Either the file is corrupt or whatever.
It IS possible to have a 5.5MB database installed into RAM. Via Hotsync. No idea why it didn't work.
However a hotsync to card would take ages (literally), in any case more then 10 minutes.
MSimport worked. fine. What to use to copy it back. I would use the newest McFile beta as it seems the most stable thing when it comes to copying about everything to RAM. should work.

I have that experience before when I tried to install a 3MB file. It seems to me that hotsyncing very large files may cause you problem sometimes if not always. So now I use MS Import instead.

I have never had a problem hotsyncing large files. I have done it multiple times with different files such as CIA worldfactbook for isilo (7.5mb) and MSDict dictionary files (some are 6mb+)

is it okay if i just dragged a big file to the MS via windows explorer ? would the program work ? i have tried this in winXp and it seems fine ... but not sure if this would be damaging in the long run
