The screen starts to be unresponsive and I have to use the button controls to get to Prefs, and as soon as I get to prefs the digitiser target comes on by it self. Sometimes I have to go through about two or three resets on the digitiser before it takes. I bet it all will come down to third party issues. Palm will probably have it worked out when they get to the 1000 series Treos? Best-R Now the digitiser has to be rest every couple of days.

I will try to keep a cop if I get another. Best regards, Roy Hi Tam,

I just started using the Versamail and I must have clicked on an attachment by accident. I have had to hard reset the 700p about once a month scince I got it. The main problem is it gets stuck in a loop. I don't know how my time and zone settings got so messed up, but it just is another shrimp on the problem barbie i guess.

As for the other stuff - Could be anything that you did or downloaded, but be aware that any attachemnts that Versamail downloads cannot just be installed automatically, you need to click the attachemnt yourself.. did you get any strange attachments thaat you installed? Best regards, Ryan Rix Hi Roy,

I could not e-synch to my third party network and the screen control was not responding. I did a hard reset about 4 o 5 times , hot synched each time,and then I realized that the virus thing(probably came over an email) had changed all my time and location settings to los angeles and the hour with a coma not a colon and no date even though I chose auto set on the reboot. There was a little cartoon car that drove accross the time and date area of the screen one time that I saw ( I am not crazy ). I did hard reset again, set everything back to my location and auto set for US time and date and then hot synched, problem gone.Norton did not see this virus when I scanned the Palm Desktop. Verizon suggested a hard reset in a later response to my email. I reported a problem to Verizon about my Treo 700p.
