Hmm...well I don't remember if it was paused or not...but I just started a new game this morning and I'm not attached to it...so I might as well try! How do I load the save game back on? And do you/anyone know why it was on both my regular memory AND the internal memory? The whole issue was it's taking up like, twice the space that way and I don't want it on the regular memory which is small I just want it on my internal card which is big

The easiest way to put your savegame back onto your Palm is to 'double-click' on the savegame file in the backup folder and it will be set up to install on your next hotsync. If you'd prefer, you can use the file transfer application that came with the T5 to transfer it manually.

When you refer to 'internal memory' are you talking about an expansion card or the T5's special internal flash drive? Are you running any kind of backup program (or third party launcher) that might have copied the program to the internal flash memory? That's the most likely reason that the game was in both places, since you can't run programs from the flash drive.

I will try to reinstall it now

The T5 has the regular memory with only, what, 70M of free space and the internal memory card with 180 or whatever...I have tons of other games on the internal memory card and they run fine/don't copy over to the other part. I'm sorry I don't know the technical names...I'm not so hot on palm "insides"

Okay - I officially love you now Barbara My happy little villagers are ALL back!! And I have more tech points!! Apparently to make a point about deleting things when I don't know what they are I did get a random event when I started that said all my food was washed away in a typhoon OH WELL!! I've set some hearty young men up to fishing and I'm sure I"ll soon be replenished!! *phew!!*

THANK YOU!!

Barbara rules.

Yeah, the T5's memory is different, all right. I haven't totally explored its capabilities yet, so I haven't tried to actually run a program from that 160MB flash drive area. I know you can't install a program there using Quick Install (HotSync). Quick Install only allows installation to main memory or an expansion card. I'm running VillageSim in main memory. I might play with the different kinds of memory some more after I finish the tests I'm running.

Rebecca, I'm glad your villagers are all back! I hope they're busy gathering food now!!

Right - you can't install directly, but you can do "copy" from the Palm options and send it to the internal drive, then delete it from main memory. The two areas are completely seperate so it's like "brand new" once you copy - but they all run off this memory fine that I"ve found. I have my "productive" tools on main memory (my SplashWallet and Agendus) and all my games on the internal flash card. It seems whatever it was doing on the main memory has disappeared thanks to my little experiment

And I'm happy to report that my farming villagers are happyly replenishing the food supply and I'm very pleased

Thank you again!!

Yep, I'm definitely going to have to play with my T5's 'special memory' once I'm finished with my Village Sim tests. My 'real' PDA is my Pocket PC, so I don't mess with the T5 very much.

With all this talk of Pocket PCs it might have to be my next gadget investment It sounds like they run very differently...kind of off topic but what are the big benefits to it?
