Hello Wizard Users.
I have had my wizard for a year now.
It is a Cingular 8125, I bought brand new from eBay because I didn't want to extend my contract with Cingular. The Wizard is a G4 model locked to Cingular. It is running Windows Mobile 5, I have not modified it in any way.
This little device is amazing, but lately it has been giving me problems.
In the past week I have done 5 Hard resets because I was having problems with the wifi toggle not turning on wireless card. The reason why the toggle wasn't turning on the wireless card is because I installed Commview for pocket pc on the wizard. In Commview I installed the available driver for the wireless card, after installing the driver the toggle for the wifi stopped working. I repeated this cycle 5 times, Stupidly thinking that Commview might work.

Now my device crashes while using some programs. Using IE, Opera, Outlook, Using "Battery Status".

It freezes to where I cant even access the start menu. I can turn off the wizard by holding the power button and selecting yes to shut down, or doing a soft reset.

I know the problem is caused by hard reseting/formating the wizard to many times.

What can I do to fix this issue?

Point me to any forums, links i might have missed, and yes i have searched but i cannot find an answer.

Thank You.
