The blue memory bar used to be in the middle of the blank rectangle
between Storage and Program. It has somehow moved closer to the right
(even though all new programs are instaleld to my SD card and not to
main memory or File Storage). As a result, my free memory has dropped
from about 25Mb to only 15Mb. How do I recover the memory? Simply
moving the slider to the left isn't enough. I want to move the whole
bar to the left.

The blue bar reflects your actual memory useage, from your post I
don't think you're quite clear on that. Close some running programs,
and the right end of the bar will move further right as you free some
program memory. Delete some files or uninstall some programs, and the
left side of the bar will move further leftward as you free up storage
memory.

So the only way to move the bar is to change your memory load. It may
be you need to clear your Pocket IE cache files for example, search
the group archives, there are plenty of posts on how to identify and
free up unnecessary stuff from memory.

Cheers Tony, clearing my Internet cache did the trick.

How much memory do I need on my Ipaq HX 2495

After all the files/programs on the device
I have 35 meg program free, 2.34 meg storage.
How much free memory should I have? Is this too
little?

I have an HX2415 and I have about 20-30 meg, so 35
meg is a lot. I assume you are installing to an SD card.
I picked up a couple of 2 gig cards a few weeks ago,
and I think these are essential.

It's very small. With 2.5M strorage free, you'll often receive 'low on
storage memory' dialogs. Make sure you relocate everything off storage,
clean up caches, temp files etc. in there. Read either bakc (this question
has been addressed several times in this newsgroup) or myu blog/articles
(I've written tons of related articles.)

Nope. Install everything now in main memory. I haven't
figured out how to switch Acvtivesync to manual to get
rid of the Activesync/CF/SD/WM 5.0 battery drain problem.

I have 4 SD cards (one is 1 gig), 4 CF cards. None are
being used right now since I haven't figured out how
to put Activesync 4.1 on manual.

They only time I received this message was when to install the new
version of SPD time.

I still need to figure out how to set Activesync to manual before I
can use the CF/SD cards.
