help! i think i lost all my data

[howard]

I havent used my axim for a few weeks so its been tucked away in its case. now i just turned it back on and all my data has gone! i didnt do a back up either. is there any way to get my data back?

thanks for your help!

Probably not. What is the status of your backup battery? That should have held the data for quite a while. backup backup backup. Can't stress that enough.

my backup battery is 0%. can i charge it or do i need to get a new one?

The battery is probably dead. You will need a new one for that, but they are not real pricy. I know what it means to lose data. Trying to save space in the main system, I removed some files out of the windows folder that are not used, unless I would want to uninstall. some htm files and etc and put them in a folder on the CF disk. I did all back ups , but I guess when syncing it erased that folder cause I cannot find it at all, even in the back ups. If I see a problem I will do this all over, but save that folder by itself. Proper back up is a must.

You need to buy a new backup batt., then charge your main batt., Then do a backup of everything and have fun.

I did the same thing, lost data and programs. My question is how do I regain use of programs that I had saved to the SD memory. For instance I saved FlexWallet to SD. I can see it there but no icon appears on the start menu. I tried downloading it again from my laptop but they don't share info with each other.

Try using the file explorer to create a shortcut. Find the file on the SD card tap and hold, go to copy, then find the start menu and paste shortcut.
