This is the stupidest bug in Active Sync! I've had to reconfigure and
reinstall apps in my PPC about 3 times in the last few weeks because I
haven't had been able to work out how to get around this problem of "regional
settings" when trying to restore a backup until now!
Now to work out why my I-mate jam does a hard reset when it freezes when I
intend to do a soft reset?
