I was just trying to launch the program--without loading any files.

I think I may have solved it:

I read up on the "What is the ignore_my_documents file?" on this message board, and it said:

Quote:
The “ignore_my_documents” file is a hidden, zero-byte file that is created by the Pocket PC 2002 OS when you save a document from Pocket Word or Pocket Excel to a storage card that has no My Documents folder on it. This can cause problems if you later create a “My Documents” folder on that card. When you try to store a document, your Pocket PC becomes confused about where to store it, and this causes a slowdown or an “infinite hour-glass” problem.
Well, I use a 256 MB CF card, went and created the "My Documents" folder, and deleted that pesky file, and now everything appears to be back in normal running order.

I don't know if this was the problem or not-- the only other thing I did was to delete some garbage recorded files, and Sync my Axim. Hmmm....
