i had to erase everything.But why?

just a couple a minuits a go i put some type of app on my palm that was supposed to look like i was going through a tunnel.anyhoo i put that and some other things on my palm and i wasnt waching the screen at the moment so i couldnt see what had happened. but when i looked at the screen it was really dark and wouldn't respond to anything.So i did a reset on it and there was a flashing palm powered logo.And when i pressed a button it asked me to either press the up button to erase all data, or any other button not to erase all data. Does anybody know if i crashed the thing (i had a tad bit more than half of the memory used up) or if some of the apps,particualary the tunnel one,messed it up.and just so ya know i hav a 505.

 

Well, the simple answer is: software breaks.

The app you installed had some sort of problem with it that caused your Palm to do a hard reset.
