Folks, I've noticed a recurring problem on the Ax... maybe it's with other systems as well. It has to do with missing text on the right side of the screen.

I first noticed it when I tried to install JOURNAL BAR... on one of the setup screens, the rightmost 2-4 characters ran off the screen.

It's apparent too on the SETTINGS / INPUT screen. About the middle of the page, there is a line which reads:

"Use gestures for the following keys and rem"... but the letters "ove" trail off the right side of the screen.

I turned off "Clear Type" just in case this was making the letters broader. Same thing.

The problem is also visible on the SETTINGS / SYSTEM / SCREEN page. LOTS of stuff runs off the right side on that one.


Is this problem on other folk's Ax's as well or is it just mine? Is there a "font" setting somewhere that I need to know about?

Any help would be appreciated.

Well... here's how I fixed it: I copied my data to my hard drive and did a HARD RESET and wiped the sucker. The only thing I lost were my TASKS, CALENDAR and CONTACTS (which was minimal at this time). Got all my notes and other goodies back.

Apparently, some program I installed seriously interferred with a lot of things on the PDA. I can't be absolutely sure, but I believe it was MICROSOFT READER that was the ill-behaved program.

The reason I think this is because my TAHOMA font was missing, and four other fonts were in its place (I can't remember the specific names). When I tried to delete Microsoft Reader... it said those four fonts could not be erased and refused to delete the program. When I went to File Explorer, apparently these fonts were set to READ ONLY and they COULD NOT be changed from that (since then I've found a better file manager program that works pretty well).

So I pretty much narrowed the problem down to Microsoft Reader. When I did the hard reset, the problem completely disappeared.

If ya want a program to really screw up your computer system, just install a Microsoft product (and yes, that INCLUDES Windows!).
