I have an Ipaq 5555 and when I installed Battery Pack the PDA slowed to a snails pace. I uninstalled Battery Pack and everything went back to normal. I have the same application on my Ipqa 4355 and the 4355 works at normal speed. I believe the problem might be with the Biometric Fingerprint Reader application on the 5555. Just a thought. __________________ MCSE +Securityand IBM Advanced Cerified Systems Administrator HP Ipaq 2795, HPCompaq 6715b Notebook, Socket Bluetooth GPS

I will try removing Pocket Monitor from starting up and see how that works. Thanks for your reply. Robert

My 4155 runs great, one morning I loaded about 4-5 freeware apps, such as Today enhancements, vid driver upgrades, file explorers and a couple of games. After doing soft reset the machine was VERY slow. Had to hard reset and start over. I guess not all apps get along with all cpu's.

Go here: http://scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html Install the bottom application. Load it on. Then soft reset your device. Let us know if that helps. __________________ ____________________________ Badandy Owner of 2215
