Do a reset, then immediately apply the pen on the left hand side of the
screen about 1/2" from the left edge and about halfway vertically. If you're
quick enough and put it at the right place, you should get a dialog asking
if you want to activate the packages on the internal store. I'd suggest you
say yes, but then put back the pen there and hold it until you get a second
dialog for your card. Then, I would say no. This way, you should have access
to the card, but no package on it will activate to cause the error.
