I just turned my VoiceNote mPower on and went into the file manager, chose d for directory and was pressing space bar to navigate through directory listings when the VoiceNote went silent. I waited a minute or so and tried hitting back space, space with e, and other keystrokes but no speech at all. Finally I resorted to pressing reset. When the VoiceNote started talking, it had totally forgotten everything and wanted to know if I was running in English and a bunch of other system info. I just accepted the defaults and reset speech speed and volume once I got back to the main menu. I checked date and time. The date and time were still correct. Then I went back into the file manager and checked my flash drive. While space with i shows about the same free space I had before the crash, when I went into the flash drive, I discovered all of my personal folders had disappeared and even in the original folders like downloads, where I had several files, they were all gone. I suspect the files are still in flash drive memory because the space used is not correct for an empty fresh out of the box VoiceNote. It actually shows just about what I remember seeing when all of my files were available. I'm thinking I must have some corrupt system file in the unit and if I can find and delete that file, maybe the rest of my files and folders will reappear. Do any of you guru types know the trick to doing this? By the way, I had the Concise dictionary installed before this crash and it no longer seems to be installed. I also tested a memory stick thumb drive that worked as a hard drive after installing those last usb updates and it is not recognized either, indicating I may have lost all updates since I installed KeySoft version 7.2 build 47. I have tried all resets except for the system reset with the record and reset button and so far none of them have done more than get me back to the same place with some twenty mega bytes or so of my flash drive in Limbo. I checked battery and it is more than half charged and recently calibrated so it wasn't a battery critical condition that caused the problem. Help! Richard Ehrler
