Have no idea what changed, but now, when Application Loader of Desktop Manager ver 4.2.0.14 is selected, it just hangs. The only way to close it is with Task Manager. Any ideas?

I had that problem too, which was resolved when I reinstalled the Desktop Manager (either use the one that comes with your Pearl, or download from your service provider's website.

Thanks, I did both. Even did the very thorough uninstall described in the forum. Still hangs after selecting the App loader.
