I installed Pilot Desktop earlier in the week and then installed Lotus
EasySync and numerous prc's. I noticed that the Palm Desktop (4.4.1?)
always crashed when started. I assumed that the cause was EasySync but
I just uninstalled both EasySync and the desktop and then re-installed
the Desktop w/o EasySync.

To my surprise, the desktop is still crashing. Here's the information
provided in the dialog:
AppName: palm.exe AppVer: 4.2.0.0 ModName: mfc42.dll
ModVer: 6.2.4131.0 Offset: 00004973

Any ideas why it might be crashing?

TIA,
David

A "mfc42.dll" crash appears to be a common problem that's caused by a
corrupt database (usually the Contacts database). Here are a couple
of Brighthand.com threads on the problem (with a couple of suggested
solutions):
