Is this issue that same one that causes Adobe Reader to complain about not finding the opened pdf and then sort of hang? I had my PDF file on SD and if I suspend the device and come back much later, I would get the error. I did try the registry change but it didn't help.
So I decided to move the PDF file to main memory, thinking it would fix the problem for good. Nope. Adobe still gets the error. What's the deal with that? So would this be a WM5 issue or an Adobe Reader issue?
Well I haven't noticed this being a problem on my PPC-6700 with regards to the device having problems with the memory card when it turns on and off. I current have a 1 gig miniSD card in there and pretty much run everything from the card.
I have another symptom of the same issue. If I have Media Player running, not neccesarily playing anything, if I power down the device (K-Jam, JasJar), when I turn it back on, frequently I get a "You have inserted an SD card, would you like to scan it for media" prompt. That makes it appear the card is unmounted when I turn the device off, but re-mounted when I turn it on. I would expect any files would be closed, possibly less than kindly, when unmounting.
I get the impression that there is some period of time that lapses before unmounting, as I have turned off and right back on and not had the prompt. I haven't done any real testing of whether it is consitant, or it's 1 sec, or 2 or whatever.

I simply do not understand why Pocket PC's, after all of these years, still use that infuriating file browsing/opening dialog that only decides to browse files in certain folders. It is completely obvious that this limitation does not need to exist, when programs like Pocket Informant use the tgetfile.dll to browse ALL folders and files with no problem at all. Yet, here we are 5 years later, and the same LAME file browser still exists. I just do not get why they do not fix this stuff!!!
I have noticed the same issue as Sven with my upgraded X50v. If Media Player is called up, and I suspend the device, when I resume the device, I get an "You have inserted a card" msg as well.

Yeah, that happens on the Wizard quite often as well.
I don't use WMP10 on my device because its just too annoying. That stupid library menu that starts searching only the device, not the storage card, and its mucks up when you standby.
Don't get me wrong, I love my K-JAM, but some of these things are really annoying. Nothing a ROM update wouldn't fix.

They do not think it is broken. Even on a desktop, application file dialogs have defaulted to My Documents for some time. That makes sense, If you have ever tried to help someone find a file and found they have personal files scattered all over the root, Windows folders, Program folders etc. Heaven help you if you are trying to get all their files off before rebuilding a machine for them.
I do wish they would can the subfolder limit, or at least get it better than one. Of course that would also mean the file dialog should be rewritten. Note that when opening Word, you get all the Word files, regardless of where they are. The All Folders view. That would have to change to My Documents with folders presented below that and the docs that are directly in my docs. Would be more like what a windows user is used to, but this is a PDA after all. The initial thought was probably that there wasn't going to be that much stuff stored on these outside of the PIM apps. So then it becomes a matter of expending resources on changing what folks already are comfortable with (maybe not happy with, but comfortable), or on improving other things.

You can avoid that by using a third party task switcher to close MP when you are done with it. To bad the X doesn't actually close apps. :devilboy:
