Raj:

I checked and disabled the firewall but the screen is still disappearing.
It looks like there may be a corrupt installed program in the list of
installed programs in ceappmgr. Is there a directory where ceappmgr.exe
stores the software that is currently installed on the pocketpc. The reason
I ask is because I know that when I hard reset my pocket pc, I can
re-install all of the apps from the list that appears in the ceappmgr.exe
without having to goto the original install cd's

Thanks in advance
Fred
