OK, it seems that although I thought I deleted all the info from my Palm T3, there were some settings retained. . . The clue should have been when I went to sync the 1st time, and my old profile appeared. . . . . And it seems that it tried to install some stuff that wasn't compatible with the treo. The old photo album being one of them. I started again clean. New profile, hard reset. . .
YEEHHHAAAAA!!!!!

Oh the joys of a new device!!!!!!
