A little bump in the road... (DIA crashed)

Well, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, but I experienced a slight crisis with the T5 this afternoon.

For some reason, the DIA area went completely white (blank) after installing a game (Astraware Cubis). Everything else on the screen remained "normal" and seemed to work properly. Strange event for sure.

Here's what I ended up doing:

1) I deleted Cubis using Uninstall Manager (plus a soft reset) and it still didn't restore the DIA.

2) Thinking it was a problem with SkinDIA, I tried to restore the default DIA scheme (plus another soft reset), but it didn't restore the DIA, either. Hmmmm...

3) I was lucky enough to have installed BackupBuddyVFS Pro (trial version for now) and ran a backup yesterday to my SD card. Because I couldn't think of any other possible reason that caused the DIA to disappear, I did a Hard Reset and restored the T5 to its previous backup. IT WORKED!!! The DIA was restored.

Now, because I'm here at work, I have to sync it up at home (or this weekend sometime...) as my most up-to-date data is stored on my desktop at home. After that sync, it should be back to normal.

As for what caused the DIA to crash, I have no idea. I know there are a few people out there who have experienced similar crashes to the DIA. I'd like to hear from you. Perhaps, we could share notes and find a common denominator as to the cause(s). Or, perhaps, it was a one-off occurance...

Update (03/19/05):
I did a hotsync at home and all is well with my data and PIM information.
