PIM Problem!!! HELP

[Deiota]

Hello!
I just installed the WM6 HTC version, and It's great.
The only problem, so far, is that I can't save PIM information at all (tasks, apps and contacts).
Does anyone has the same problem?
Please Help!!!!
Best regards,
Deiota

Hello

I use PPCPimBackup.

What I mean is when I create a new task, for instance and add data, at the end we save it, right? I can't save.So I cant add new apps, tasks and contacts.
Best regards,

DO NOT RESTORE YOUR OLD PIN DATA WITH ANY BACKUP SOFTWARE
hard reset your device and sync it with outlook to restore your old pim data...

What a stupid answer. If you do that every time you have a problem with pim, well don't play with a pocket pc, just buy a nokia.

No the real answer is, rename the pim.vol to whatever you want and make a soft reset. After the reset you will see that a new pim.vol has been created.
Try then to create a contact, task, appointment via the standard applications.

Just solved it!
Hard reset and then restored the data from Outlook.
But now on, I use PPCPIMBackup just in case!
I posted it here because there could be a problem with this ROM, but is not! Just had my backup pim.vol corrupted!
Can close the topic if you want!
Thanks

but then again you might have missed this, as your head spends far too much time up your a**

ROTFL! ;-)

I received your delicious answer by mail, no need to change the contents. Well I didn't want to insult you, but your answer is typically the kind I don't like. It's like willing to kill a mosquito with an atomic bomb.

I play often with pim.vol and different OS, to know how it works. It is true that the version of the aku can affect the pim.vol, and that's why sometimes putting back a pim.vol from a previous version simply doesn't work. But as I said, just rename the file, and you will see that the system will regenerate a new one.

And another thing, show me a rom that contains a predefined pim.vol before being flashed, because i never saw one!

hey Fred i said sorry....
i must admit,i did not read your response in full and vented some of my anger on you....
AGAIN I OFFER YOU MY UNCONDITIONAL APOLOGY...
YOU ARE RIGHT....there is no need to hard reset just deleting the pim.vol file would work...

so am i forgiven ????
