One word "Backup"

Hard Reset + Backup = Annoyed
Hard Reset - Backup = Livid
Hard Reset + Backup Created in the last hour = Less Annoyed, but not amused.

I hear you. It happened to me once right after installing a trial version of some application. I had a backup from the night before so it wasn't a huge deal, but it's still annoying and a little frightening when it happens.

Perhaps we should start compliling a list of "killer" applications that have caused sponteous resets. Not to badmouth them, just so people are aware of them.

This is easier said than done, though, since it's often the interaction of two or more software programs that causes it. :(

Plus, when this happened the time I mentioned above, I restored from a backup and reinstalled the same app fine. :?:

Same here. I've also noticed than sometimes the order of which the applications are installed also maked a difference. :?

Unfortunately, I think these random hard resets will forever remain a mystery, like Atlantis and Dick Clark.
