ran out of space..and then....

was trying to load some other Java Vm on my 720 when the install starting rejecting files and telling me i had to try again. then my 720 froze. I reset but it won't do anything. won't recognize taps or even the on/off button. do i need to do a hard reset and start from scratch to fix this or is there some way i can delete files and save my current state?

Maybe through ActiveSync... But I'm not sure Jornada will connect in such a memory deficit.

Unfortunately this is a bug in CE, fill the ram, hard reset the system. It will actually let you commit system suicide... this is a 'feature'

ha! nice feature. dang it!

Three pieces of advice to avoid this in the future:

1) install as many non-driver programs as possible to a Storage Card;

2) check periodically during heavy use to make sure you have at least 1 MB of program memory available (you can get by with less, but this is a good rule of thumb anyway) (Wolfgang Rolke's ResInfo gives you quick access to that information without having to go into the Control Panel); or, better yet,

3) get a 728 so that you have twice as much RAM to start with.

if you already ran into this problem DO NOT SOFT RESET by any means.

then you can still have a chance of fixing it, though you need to wait very patiently for it to perform actions with so low ram (system can sometimes free a bit).

if you did a soft reset, no chance anymore.

ya already soft rest and hosed it. just pulled the batteryy and started to re-build. now i know. wish i had a chance to buy a 728 at a decent price. dang things are pricey. but it sure would be nice to have double the ram. do the 900 (non C) have 64 mb of ram also?

Yes they do.

non C? why? you can get a 900c and downgrade to hpc2000 if you wish.

because i may have the chance to buy a 900 (non c). so i figured i'd ask about that one. i don't know much about the NEC devices wasn't sure if there were any hardware changes etc.
