have to keep doing soft reset

[kark_1999]

My Axim keeps getting really slow, and I have to keep doing a reset, which fixes it. I don't have anything running while it is slow (I know about Magic Button and Task Switcher). Anyway, if this was my desktop pc, I would be able to do a ctrl-alt-delete and check out some things that may be causing my problems. For example, I would go into "processes" and see if there are any apps running processes that shouldn't be. I would also check out the "performance" tab. So, is there a way to do this kind of diagnostic work on the Axim? Is anyone else having this same problem?

More info: I have the 400 Axim. Problems I have experienced when the Axim gets slow:
- PocketNESter is really slow and "jerky"
- Using the transcriber is almost useless since drawing on the screen is practically impossible.
- even clicking the start menu is slow.

To check your system when it gets slow, go to Start, Settings, System, Memory and look at the memory allocation. Remember that the white portion of the bar graph is what's in use.
Do a soft reset and check it again.
Even after shutting down some applications, they may not release their memory requirements, until you do a soft reset. Trial and error may show which apps are responsible, after which you can either get rid of it, or ask the developer for advice.

OH MAN, it feels good to hear u guys say that, i thought it was me, i know it seemed really slow. Wish i've know what I know now about built in storage only 10,000 rewrites:crooked:

Can someone clarify the built in storage thing for me? As long as I don't specifically put anything in there, nothing will install in there automatically, correct? 10,000 writes is really a lot I guess, but I still want to be really *sure* that I want to keep something in there before I actually do put anything there. Otherwise, things are typically kept in regular SDRAM, yes?
