Is there a detailed thread about PIM Backup, which seems to be popular here? I hope using it isn't dependent on ActiveSuck because I never could get that friggin' program to work right.

No it's very simple. All you have to do is open the program and decide what information you want to backup.

Just for S&Gs I googled "ActiveSuck" - appears I'm not the first one to call it that--shocker, I know

Don't worry I disabled ActiveSuck

I definitely noticed an increase in battery life by disabling active sync.

thanks for replys guys one question...

I'snt a folder for contacts on the phone I can copy for my contacts and keep it on my desk top putter? I need to do a hard reset and want to drop them back in after.
fpr some reason after instaling total commander and adv config ,many of my programs will not open . It says one of its components cant be found or is not a trusted certificate if problem persists try reinstaling or restoring the file. This is way I want to do a hard RE
Thanks

When you do a hard reset you'll lose all your information. Just use PIM backup and backup up all your personal information and do a hard reset. Whenever you install a program like Total Commandr or Adv Config make sure you do a soft reset. Maybe thats why your having problems opening programs?
