Freezing on start up

[trapper]

Good evening everyone. My Hermes seems boot up fine, but after a split second it freezes.

Now, this happened the other day after I installed Egress RSS, but I was messing around trying to hard reset it and the issue was resolved. Last night I ran MSN Messenger Live and then it started this freeze up. Is this a known issue and is there a fix, or should I carry on messing around trying to hard reset?

After trying to soft reset it 30+ times, I've noticed a few things.

1). the today screen will initially load up completely before the freeze.

2). I think it's something to do with teh Live Today plugin thats causing the issue at it appears to change and the whole today screen locks up.

3). Pressing any of the buttons cause the screen to light up.

Anyone got any ideas?

I am not sure but my guess is maybe it is tryin to sync your contacts or connect to the server. So far im still hesitating to use it because of this. Im expecting it to be a B!@#$ to clean up all of my contacts.

Well, this is where the plot thickens.

The Hermes will boot up if I remove the memory card before resetting. Sometimes it will even boot up with the memory card in, but it won't recognise it. Putting the memory card in once the Hermes boots up will either;
1). not recognise it.
2) Freeze
3). Work normally.

As it appears to be an issue with the memory card, I've tried inserting it multiple times, but the same issue is persisting.

Are there any similar issues that anyone knows of?

Format the memory card on the PC then re-insert it into the HERMES. It may have gotten corrupted. Hope you have a backup of your files.

My friend's wizard did the same thing with a card he had, I would freeze at boot, and if I put it in my wizard it wouldn't recognize it. I tried what stukes said, and on the pc if fine, but it still won't recognize it on his wizard. His wizard has no problem recognizing my card though.
