CF and SD card not recognized when syncing

[buterflyy5]

I've had my x50v for 3 years now and never had a problem loading software. Last night I had to switch to a new computer and the easiest way seemed to be to start from scratch and delete the programs from the pda before reloading them on the pc and then the pda. Everything was going well until I went to load the programs on the pda. There is not enough system memory to save my programs so I usually save them to my cf card. Unfortunately, when I try to save to either the cf or the sd they are listed as unavailable. The pda still recognizes the cards as I can still access the pics and things I have stored on them. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Neither switches have been locked and no settings have been changed. I even did a hard reset in case some setting was inadvertantly changed. I also tried it on my old computer and the same "unavailable" message still came up. So I'm starting with a blank slate pda and no programs but activesync loaded on my pc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Firstly, you could try, navigating to program files on the CF card and finding the link/startup Icon for the program and see if it will start the program and ask for a registration to be entered.

Otherwise if you have a card reader, copy all content you don't want to lose to your PC from the cards, then format the cards [FAT or FAT32{preferred}] Then reinstall only the programs you really need.

Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately, neither of those worked, so I'm still stuck and getting pretty desperate.

Does anyone else have any ideas?
