Thanks Rich!
I did some more testing and found out that the culprits are two programs:
1. The hum MP3 player only works if installed in the main memory. If I install it on the CF card I get the error message.
2. If I install the actual DOS image from PocketDos on the CF card it also crashes. The PocketDos program itself is not a problem if installed on the CF card... The weird thing is that once those programs are installed wrongly, they effect the start up of other .exe programs as well.
3. If hum is installed, SeePic crashes. Why I don't know, must be a conflict somewhere.
Now everything seems to run ok. I guess the whole process of installing software on the Z50 is a bit trial and error. I've never had a Windows CE device that touchy before. But I really like the concept of the Z50 so I give it a good chance

Well, the solution is obvious then...don't run programs from the CF card. I'm thinking it is corrupting because you have files that are not closing and opening properly.
Are you installing the programs through activesync, or are you only extracting the cab file components directly to the memory card? Might be there are some registry settings that need to be installed during activesync, or maybe there is something that is simply turning off the card, low power perhaps, causing it to defunct.
