On all the Pocket PCs I've used, you can trigger a hard reset by holding either the action or power button while pressing the reset button. This typically gives an on-screen message that essentially says "Hey, this is going to restore your Pocket PC to factory defaults. Are you really sure you want to do this?" Pressing the action button will then cause it to reset. Give that a shot. --Dave __________________ Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
