Comment on I just installed Navigon GPS software to the HP IPAQ Glisten. Looks good & found satellites within seconds, while inside no less!

So far, so good. I haven't taken a long road trip yet, but will be going to the beach later this month. Then I'll be able to really give it a go and see how well it works.

How has it been working out?

I've got old Dell navigation software from my Axim working on the iPaq 910c and I've been looking to update to newer software with updated roads.

Comment on If your Windows Mobile device gets stuck on the splash screen after a soft reset

I believe the problem was caused by a corrupted PIM.vol file. The PIM.vol file includes all the contact, calendar, and task data that is on a windows mobile device. During a soft reset, during the bootup cycle, the shortcuts that are in the \windows\startup folder are executed. There's usually an Outlook shortcut in that folder that gets outlook running on the device to make retrieval of this data faster. Since my Voice Messenger had a bad sync of this data right before it got hung up (during the boot cycle), I figured that there was something wrong with the Outlook database (Pim.vol) that was causing the problem. Renaming the pim.vol file essentially flushed out the database by causing the device to recreate a clean, empty file. Since the database on the Voice Messenger was now empty, I thought ActiveSync might "think" I had purposely deleted this data and delete the data from my computer when I synced the two, so I deleted the ActiveSync partnership to avoid possible data loss on my computer.

That's a good catch. I never want to (cross my fingers) have to reset mine, I have so much loaded on it. So, it was a corrupted partnership?

I'm hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that Kings will show up on a cable channel sometime...but maybe not.

I love Hulu too, Thanks for the Warehouse 13 suggestion - I'll check it out....about a month to go before the new season starts up for some of my favorite shows....

Thanks for the direct message you sent me today on twitter letting me know what the problem was:

"You've probably forgotten by now but I can now save web pages to Del.ic.ious on my PPC. For months I was using the wrong @#$% password."

LOL! Those kinds of things can be really annoying, but I'm glad you figured it out!

Too bad they are not bringing Kings back next season.

I just started watching Warehouse 13, looks like a good show. Hulu is great!

I added 2.0 back to my PPC but it still doesn't save to Delicious. I removed and reloaded the app...no luck. Well it was good while it lasted.

I don't know that much about .Net Framework 3.5, but I have heard that the various versions of Net Framework are not comprehensively backward compatible. I didn't need to install .Net Framework 2.0 on the Fuze because it is included as part of the ROM on WM6.1 devices.
