Hello Stryprod,
This is Kevin from Palm. First hotsync. Then rename your Backup folder to "Backup.old". Your Backup folder is in your device's User Folder on your computer. If you're not sure where that is, check
here.
Perform a HotSync operation to restore the personal data in your built-in applications.
Note: Because you renamed the original Backup folder (which contains your third-party applications) to "Backup.old", none of your third-party applications will be restored to your device. A new, blank Backup folder will be created in the User Folder directory.
The HotSync operation will not affect the applications in the original folder that you renamed to "Backup.old". They are still there if you want to reinstall any of them.
Hope that helps.
Sincerely
Kevin
