I went over all the processes listed by Task Manager very carefully, more
than once, and it was definitely not in there, not even once. Do you know
where those backup files are? I could delete them. (Maybe just rename them

Why do you say that Palm does not support XP? It is XP for tablets that they
say they do not support. And, yes, that seems odd. But seems to run OK on
my XP desktop.
