Dell AXIM X5 Palm Pilot

SD cards must be SD not SDHC, there is not an SDHC driver for the X5. You can find regular SD cards up to 4G.

CF is no problem, all flash based CF cards will work. Microdrives can be problematic.

it get start but doesn't show any think on display and onlyn just it shows allign screen

Suggest you look at x5 manuel http://www.download-manual.com/shop/Dell-Axim-X5-Manual-pr-1347.html particulary activesync section, you'll need to download microsoft activesync http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/activesync45.mspx

You could get original disk from ebay at times but all you need is the Activesync that can be downloaded from Microsoft. Get Active sync 4.2. The newer ones do NOT work with the X5.

Good luck with the wireless card. The Axim does not play well with many of them. (sometimes works but mostly not) Try drivers from d Link and be sure to remove the old drivers first.

My Axim is behaving the same way. I find that if I try to transfer something from my Palm IIIc to my Axim via infrared, it rarely sends the data immediately, and it often times out. I have found that I can often get it to work if I request the transfer on the Palm and then "stimulate" the Axim via tapping a menu selection or by momentarily blocking the view between the devices.

Yes, Palm data like calendars and contacts can be transfered various ways including through Outlook or via infrared.

The XScale processor in the Axim is compatible with the StrongArm (a.k.a. ARM) processor. When obtaining software, treat the Dell Axim X5 (or any other Windows CE device that has an XScale processor) as if it had a StrongArm processor in it.

Xscale is Intel's processor architecture for microprocessors used in appliance applications. Dell uses Intel's Xscale processors in AXIM.

There is a program called Peacemaker that will allow you to transfer contacts by IR. I used it to transfer from my Palm III to my IPaq and from my IPaq to my T-68i. It will only allow a block of 50 contacts at a time

A Soft reset will only minimize and temporarily suspend any running programs on your Axim. If you are experiencing issues that require you to perform a Hard reset, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article:
