It´s a bad version of the roms i guess. My old one had the same problem, really really slow. Just like a program have hang or similiar.

Try upgrading to a newer version!

hi i have now waded through numerous links and downloaded many files and have even set about installing the imate rom only to be given error code 120..... i then spent lots of time reading of a fix for this but it simply got too complicated for me....... i am concerned i might break the device if i foul-up - i also visited yorch.net for a cooked rom option however it apears to be offline ? if you could or if anyone could direct me to a .exe type install of a good stable rom i would be very gratefull. thanks for any help. :?

Perhaps the simplest way to diagnose why your device is slow, is to list down what is in your startup folder?
\My Device\Windows\Startup

[ohmlogic]

\windows\startup

in this folder there are short cutss to all of the following .... active,aflashman,cflashman,checkautorun,chgDfLnk,I A-caller-id,MMreg,poutlook,stk, and tFlasMan.....

would you mind explaining to me the significance of this start up folder and what effects changing the contents of the folder would have on the operationg system ? your advice as to which items are probally not required would also be welcome ..

thanks Heath.
