Hi, I'm new to this site. I have been using my Axim since the end of January and I am still trying to figure out a lot of things. I have not previously owned any kind of Handheld, Palm, or Pocket PC so this is all new to me! I purchased a 512 MB Viking compact flash card a couple of weeks ago. I correctly created a My Documents folder on it and loaded some music, video, and text files through ActiveSync. Everything was fine for several weeks. Yesterday, I started getting a message:

CF Card Warning
Would you like the system to format the CF Card folder so that the system can use it?
WARNING: If you select Yes, any files in the CF Card folder will be erased!
Yes No

I clicked No because of course I didn't want to lose any of my files. Later, I opened up the CF Card folder through ActiveSync to put something in it and everything was gone! It was completely empty. When the CF Card Warning message came up again, I figured, well, I might as well format it now. When I clicked Yes, I got another error message:

CF Card Warning
An error occurred while formatting the CF Card folder (error code 31)

I searched this site for any information on this error and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what this error means? Can anyone help me? Please help, I am desperate. I hardly have any memory left on my main memory. Thanks.
