Can't transfer a file from my Storage Card...

I was trying to transfer a 105MB file from my SD card in my X3 through Activesync to my desktop, and the window would come up saying "Copying", and the progress bar would go to about 50%, then go all the way back to the beginning, and it would keep doing that, and not transfer the file. I don't know what the problem is, but a file larger than say, 25MB won't transfer. Everything else does though.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think this is a known issue, it is best to use a card reader/writer (They are cheap, can be had for around 10$) or it also works to use wifi to transfer files.

I thought about using WI-FI, but the file is 105MB, and I have only 32MB of storage on my Axim, I don't have built in wireless, so I have to use a Sandisk Wireless card which takes up the SD slot. I even tried accessing my network shared folder throught the USB Sync Cable, but it says the folder cannot be found, so, I guess I'll have to look for a Card Reader/Writer, I've been meaning to get one anyway.

Thanks.

I have the same problem but even the smaller video files are corrupted if I use ActiveSync to copy them. I already have a YE Data combo 3.5" floppy plus 7in1 card reader BUT it only transfers at 12Mbits/s. I just ordered the new YE Data 3.5" combo drive, which is the only one ( that I could find ) to support true 480Mbits/s. The Mitsumi combo floppy/reader is only 12Mbits/s.

I got a 12-in-one Sandisk reader to replace some old cardreaders that had been giving me fits. Best gizmo I've picked up in a long time. Used it for the Axim to load files on the SD and tunes on the CF.
Oh, and don't load everything in the root of the card! Seems there may still be a file limit there, like dos used to have.
