I just got an E2 on Monday and have already had trouble with DTG - but
only on the PeeCee. I use a Mac at home and have had no glitches, but
at the office there's the dreaded PeeCee, on which I installed the DTG
version that came with the Palm, and it was working OK. Then there was
something in my face about an update, to 7.006 (from 7.003) so what the
hell, though I might have realized I didn't need it, I installed it ...
now I can't complete a sync on the PeeCee.
The new version had Chinese included, so for some inane reason I turned
that on in the installation. That might have caused the trouble, or
maybe it was just the upgrade itself. In any case, I have tried to
uninstall DTG and it never finishes that either. I ripped its lung out
and installed the original version and that did complete, but it still
won't finish a sync. I haven't had time to completely uninstall the
whole Palm dealie and do it over, but I'll do so ASAP...
Grumble mumble.
