I've just about had it!

My four month old HP is losing the stylus calibration of the screen.
I did a clear reset (lost all programs and settings) when it first
happened last week, and did a recalibration (ie: touch X's etc).

Now it's off again!

The battery shows 80% power, so all should be OK.

Can anyone out there offer a solution?

If not, I'll no longer sink good money into a Palm or HP and will
carry a small notebook.

Too bad.

This is progress?

You do realize you can realign the screen without a hard reset, right?

One really has nothing to do with the other.

Get it repaired? At four months old it's still under warranty. Frequent
need
for realignment is generally a hardware
problem. My HTC Wizard
needed realignment more and more often until finally a dime-sized "hole"
in the center stopped responding to taps
altogether.

No, this is bad luck. I've owned seven Windows CE/Windows Mobile devices
and only one has had screen alignment issues. (Although four of the seven
have needed repairs, two through my own carelessness. I dropped a Dell
Axim X5 on a concrete floor destroying the screen, and plugged the wrong
charger into a Casio E-100, releasing the magic smoke that powers all
electronics.)
