Hi guys

A few days ago, I did a soft reset on my O2 Serra and when it switched back on, some of the most important functions (for me) does not load up, such as tasks, calendars, phone dialler, contacts, and a few more not worth mentioning. I normally don't use the TouchFlo and just have a standard windows desktop with a few of my main functions displayed on the "today" screen -- date, messaging, tasks, calendar and tomtom. After this problem has occured, now the today screen does not show the calendar and task any more. When I press the "answer" hard key, nothing happens. I tried accessing these functions from the Program menu, the screen just blinks once. Except when I try to access "tasks", an error msg comes up saying "no program memory available. tap start>system>task mgr, stop programs that did not stop automatically and try again", but when i check, nothing is running and there's lots of program memory remaining.
Just before this problem, I did not install or uninstall anything, all I did was change the time and time zone, and then I did a soft reset. I did this because I am on biz trip abroad 6000 miles away from home at the moment, and which is also the reason why I can't just do a hard reset. And my own laptop which I sync to is at home and not with me now. I don't want to just lose everything if anyone here can help me to recover it. I also have loads and loads of important things marked down in calendar, tasks and contacts which I need for my biz trip!!!!!!

Can anyone out there help out???
Or is there a way I can pull out a few files from the phone where tasks, calendar and contacts are saved? and maybe I can read them using another laptop whilst I am away from home?
It seems that windows in the phone did not start up properly, maybe some files corrupt? is there like a "windows repair" like u have on desktop windows?

Hi guys

Anyone got any ideas? just reading the data off the phone is good enough for now, i.e. is there one file that stores all the calendar, one file that stores all the tasks, one file that stores all the contacts? If there is, then I can just extract these and read them with, Outlook I presume, on any computer?

Thanks in advance.
