I have a HP rx3715. I had just installed a nice looking Today-Plugin for WMP, on the device end an Error message came up saying 'UnregisterClass()'.

Anyway, the plugin worked, but I've just done a soft reset, and every time the PDA loads up (half way through bootup process) this error comes up once more, the progress bar completes loading but freezes on completion and doesn't start up! The error box can't be 'Ok'd away. I have to soft reset again, etc.

I suppse, I'm looking at a hard reset here..?

Does anyone know off hand if iPAQ filestore is lost when a hard reset is performed?

:(

Ipaq filestore is not lost  ;)

buy an sd card and keep your programs on it.

The device would not fully boot correct?

Yeah, at least there is that. I do have a GB SD card as well, so, a lot of the programs etc. aren't lost.. obviously all the links to Programs folder etc. are though. The programs could all be reinstalled anyway, it's the things like a few pics/savegames that are really annoying.

And yep, it just wouldn't boot up (display the today screen) after loading.

Yeah :/

I don't suppose anyone knows of any other today plugin for controlling playback?

That of WMP is preferable, I'd rather not have another media player installed, unless it's really good :)

Thanks

The Plus! extension has a great WMP controller plugin for the today screen. I've been using it for years with no problems :)

I checked out that link, and installed it. When I click it to start Media Player it says it cannot be found. If I start up WMP myself, the buttons appear, but they do nothing. Could this possibly be because I have done the ROM upgrade for WMP10?

why not just load wmp and go to the today screen and control wmp with the dpad?  :wacko:

the dpad is specifically built with wmp in mind anyways....up/down controls volume, and I think left/right controls track.

I was going to say that the reason for this would of course be so I could still use the buttons in other applications, but it seems with WMP10, there is no option to keep button assignments when the program is not in focus, so they don't work. O_o

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
