Help SD Card Apps Won't Load, Apps Crash at Boot

[salguod]

My wife's Dinc has stopped loading apps on her SD card. They show up on her hoome screen as Droid icons and when tapped say that they are no longer installed.

I unmounted the card, plugged it into my PC and copied all the files to my HD. I then removed it and plugged in a different 2GB SD card (Samsung), formatted it (FAT32) and copied the files back over. I powered her phone down, installed the SD card and powered it back up.

Upon boot (still running Froyo, it never would install the GB updates), several apps immediately report as not responding, even before the home screen is completely loaded, and must be force closed and no change in the SD card apps.

Any ideas what's going on here? I'm leaning towards a factory restore, but would rather not if I don't have to.

You probably just have to reinstall the apps... Or you could try going into the app manager and clearing the data/cache for them.

The apps on the sd card don't appear in the app manager. I tried looking to see if I could move them to the phone, but no luck. The 'on card' section is blank.
