Mobility Site - View Single Post - Skyscape Programs 'crash' after coming out of standby

Hey everyone...I'm new to the forums here and I have to say alot of the tricks have helped to make my axim work alot smoother, esp the 'Fake server' hack.

However, I use my X51v to run alot of skyscape.com programs for my medical references while at school and I notice that my programs crash after coming out of standby mode. I have a SanDisk Ultra II 512MB CF card in the expansion slot and I thought I'd save on internal ROM space by putting my programs on the CF card. But now i notice that when i try to get back to the index in my programs that the PDA will hang for about 2minutes before taking me back to an index that now has a bunch of blank lines and a whole lot of garbled characters.

Only way I'm able to work around this when the programs are installed on my CF card is to exit the program out of memory manager and then reload the program. That gets annoying so i resorted to putting the programs back on internal ROM memory. I've only seen issue with my skyscape programs. I also have my GPS maps installed on the CF card and have not had any issues with my GPS software. Anyone know if there is a compatability issue with CF cards / SanDisk Ultra II CF cards?

My only guess to the crashing is that the skyscape programs are trying to access the databases on the card before the unit has fully booted and the CF card has received power, causing a lockup but then it also locks up even after i've let it sit for 30sec or so.

Sorry my post is so long. Thanks in advance to those who reply!
