Welcome to our forums.
What exactly is wrong with it?

Don't know if you can overload memory, if there isn't enough it doesn't store it.

Try a FULL or HARD reset rather than a SOFT reset. This will put everything back to normal but you will loose anything you haven't backed up or saved in your folder on your desktop etc.

You need to double check this in your instructions but 'normally' with the iPAQ you need to press and hold the calendar & iTask button at the same time (on the front of your PDA) Then AT THE SAME TIME use the stylus to press and hold the reset button on the back until the screen goes completely blank. (It is a lot easier if you have three hands but you will find a way of holding all buttons down at the same time)
