Well, I don't have an SRAM card so that can't be the problem.

I also don't boot unless I have to. But... my time spent with HP
product support on this problem suggests that booting the unit (hard or
soft) is the way to clear up a variety of ills. I don't believe in
booting every day, though. I'd consider that a hack. I don't have a
serial cable to backup my files, or otherwise I'd try a hard-boot. They
finally suggested I exchange the unit and were willing to drop-ship me
one then and there. Since I was within my 30-days I opted to exchange my
unit at the place I purchased it. The problem happened again a week
later. I still couldn't isolate it, so I've returned the unit and am
anxiously awaiting the release of the 120 to see if it will solve this
small, but glaring problem.
Overall, I was impressed with the speed and courtesy of the HP tech support
folks. I like the unit a lot despite the shortcomings that seem to be flooding
the notes here lately. I bought it to help organize my thoughts and keep
track of what I'm currently working on. It does that quite well.
If I wanted more, I'd have bought a laptop.
