When I recently tried to do a search on my PPC it came back with "No program memory available". Even though I had plenty of memory availble (5+meg) when I checked memory in the systems folder. Now I get the error every time I try to do a search. I've done several soft resets. It use to work every time with no problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

thank you

Delete the temp IE files...

You can also try to soft reset

I've actually done several soft resets. Also, I tried to delete the temp IE files. ( I'm not sure I found them all) Is there someplace else besides the windows directory to look for files to delete?

You don't need to look for temp IE files, just let PIE do it. Open PIE > Tools > Options > Clear Temp Files.

BTW- Welcome to the Aximsite! :cheers:

Thanks, didn't know that before now. unfortunately, it still has the same problem?

Any other ideas?

thank you

I know this sounds evil, but try a hard reset. Don't back up and restore, because that often brings back the problem.

BTW- This PPC you're talking about, I assume it's the e310?

Walter01

Yes, I currently have a Toshiba e310. Bought it when it first came out. It's been very nice but.......
I almost bought the X30 but have been watching the rumors about the possible Dell with a VGA screen. Figured I could wait until the end of this year to see if it would come out. If not, the X30 seems like a very nice PDA at a great value.

On that hard reset, do I really have to start from scratch once I do that.

I happened to still be working on this "find" problem and found this on the WEB:

A hard reset only fixes the problem for a short time.

Do you know of any good after market search programs?

thank you

No, I don't know of any search programs. Sorry!

TotalCommander works exactly as well as the Find function on a PC. It won't search databases like Contacts though, as the native PPC Find function should when it works. TC is free:

You might try running a program found in \Windows called welcome.exe. It simulates a post-hard reset routine, but causes no harm and can mend certain glitches in PPC operation by correcting registry corruptions of some sorts. Failing this, I'd do a full backup with Sprite then hard reset and rebuild databases and data (not program, but docs and stuff) files, but manually install programs.
