I can not believe my addresses, carefully carried from my various models of Palm Pilots to my Clie, are gone.

My Clie came up with a fatel error message. After a restart, the screen was black and white with 3 horizontal lines, one in mid screen and the others about a menory stick distance away, up and down.

I tried a hard boot with the same screen coming up. I called Sony and they walked me through moving the backup, which they felt must be corupted, from the Clie Desktop file and trying a hot sync. I did this and my addresses did not come back, looking at the address file in the Clie Desktop it too had nothing in it. The To Do and Menu inputs were still there but not the addresses.

I thought I would be saved because I also hot sync'ed on my home PC, but after hot sync'ing there my address again were not on my Clie or my Clie desktop.

Before when I had to hard boot and hot sync everything would come back including my third party programs now all I got was the stripped down basics without my address.

do you back it up to outlook or palm desktop or anything like that? That sounds too basic but I don't know if you forgot or not....

I always did a hot sync with the Sony (Palm) Desktop. When I look in the Archive file it looks like at least my 3rd party stuff is there but still no address data.

I tried coping the Archive data to the Backup file and then hot sync'ing but this did not reload my 3rd party data and the Backup file returned to the what looks like the basic stuff. It seems like there is something blocking up loading to the Clie. The setting under Hot Sync are all synchronize.
