Well...anyway...I've had my hp for about a year, and I'd never had a hard reset problem. After installing mastersoft sudoku (demo version which I downloaded directly from the mastersoft site) I started having random reset problems (which normally happen right when turning the device on, but not only). I can guarantee that no other software was installed in the month before (or since) on the PDA...only mastersoft sudoku.
Of course, it might not be related...but It seems like a bit of a coincidence.

Anwyay, getting back to things, like I said before I downloaded the file directly from the mastersoft site, and bought and registered it on the 3rd day of the demo (directly from the mastersoft site again).... I can provide mastersoft with the serial they gave me as proof if you want. I'd send a copy of the e-mail, but I bought and registered while on holiday at my parent's house, so I can't access the computer directly at the moment.

A second thing I noticed is that this isn't the only bug. Another thing that happens is that if the device turns itself off in power saving mode due to being inactive, after turning it back on sudoku gets all buggy, in that you can no longer complete any of the puzzles (it freezes when you finish it), and you can no longer exit the program with the "exit mastersoft sudoku" command (you need to minimize it with the X in the top right and then "stop" it in the running programs option.

A couple of weeks ago my boss bought the program too, for his Qtek s100, which is running windows mobile 2003 phone edition, and it's even buggier on that device, getting random error messages regarding the sudoku exe file when starting the program or closing it. I know for a fact that that version was also downloaded straight from the mastersoft site (I downloaded it), and I think he still has the e-mail in which mastersoft sent the serial.

Well, apart from those bugs, I have to say that the program is fantastic, and have spent way too much time on it. I hope that things can be figured out (and find it strange that few people are reporting these problems)

Regards,
Any copies downloaded from Warez sites or share networks such as Emule, Bit Torrent etc will hard reset your machine. That is DEFINITE. These versions contain malicious hard reset code.

The demo from our site DOES NOT contain any malicious code.

Hopefully this is clear enough.

Please don't try and steal our software as you'll get your fingers burnt.
