something is wrong with your toshiba then. it should only "boot" when you pop the soft reset button. sounds like either a driver is causing a problem or the hardware has a fault. i've seen the behavior you describe on an ipaq 2215 and PDA2K but always traced it batk to a driver or software that the developer was able to fix.

BTW, WinMob is now primarily a phone OS. The standlone PDAs take a back seat, and IMHO, will totally die as a consumer product in the next few years.
