My 8125 will play about the first four seconds of an MP3 from the memory card then the player (AudioManager and WMP) will lock up, sometimes I can close the app sometimes I have to soft reset. But play that SAME MP3 from the phones memory and it plays fine!!! This problem is the same for pictures on the storage card. I open up photo and video and it's supposed to load thumbnails, well it will load the first few thumbs then that app locks too but again, copy pictures to phone memory and no probs at all... I keep all my cabs and PIM backup on my memory card and after a flash it is no problem to reinstall those cabs...

Don't really want to buy new card, or is that even needed? Is there a way to reformat these miniSD cards? It is a REAL SanDisk 2GB, not a cheap one from ebay.

If this has already been talked about, just post a link please, don't be an ass...I tried to search!

If you have an SD card reader, reformatting is easy, just put the card in it, right click on the card and choose format. If you don't have a card reader, use wm5starage. Enable wm5storage on your phone, connect to activesync and your phone will show up on your computer just as it would if it were in a card reader and then right click on it and choose format.

So that's what WM5torage is for... I always wondered why it was included in all the ROM's I have...hmmm

I will try it and see if it fixes the problem. Thanks.

Actually wm5storage is for using your SD card like a usb flash storage device so enableing it allows your computer to see it as a drive. Make sure you enable it before you connect it to activesync though or I don't think it will work if I remember right.
