Palm TX Simulator Crashes on Startup

A thank you and credit goes out to Doug Gordon from the palm-del-forum for this solution, which I quote here:

On a XP machine where I successfully run various POSE and Simulator
versions, the TX Simulator I downloaded today crashes soon after I
select the shipped "Devon" (?) ROM, and before anything gets displayed
on its screen.

I also had this problem with the Debug version and have not gone back to it, but I since learned this: Look for a directory on your PC named C:\Palm and see if there is a file there named "SimSlotDriverVolume". Delete that and try the Simulator again. In general, I think that you have to delete this file any time that you switch from one Simulator to another. Its contents are different from the "snapshot" file that you save in the Simulator's directory. This makes it more difficult to switch among several Simulator types quickly, but it does seem to fix the problem of it crashing or hanging on startup.
