Microsoft Money Users Tip

OK, I realize that this won't matter to many of you, but since I searched on here earlier hoping someone would know, maybe I can help someone in the future.
If you use Microsoft Money 2003 and sync it to your handheld, you'll find that once upgraded to Windows Mobile 2003, the installer won't install on the handheld (It expects PPC 2002). To work around this, you need to visit Microsoft's site www.microsoft.com/money and download the 2004 version of pocket pc money. Now it will install on the handheld but won't recognize money on the PC, so you download the older PPC 2002 file (from www.pocketpc.com's download section) and it will create the appropriate entry in ActiveSync.
Just an example of an oddity, perhaps it will help someone else.

I ended up upgrading to PPC money 2004 and then to Money Deluxe 2004 to get it to work properly. Both files can be found for free if you search around. I used eDonkey.

If thats not blatent I dont know what is ... LOL
like record companies... if Microsoft stopped screwing its customers then they might actually buy something?
I'm a little against using software from MS that I havent bought.... means they can still add me as statistic on who uses Microsoft...
80% of desktops run Windows... prolly 25% of that is legit

Pocket money 2004 for WM2003 and for MS Money 2004 is exist.

Even if It was one year ago, problems are always the same. I have upgraded to MicrosoftMoney 2005, an Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1(the last one) doesn't recognize MM2005 version (it aspects 2004 one) and so I can't install it on my PC and on my Qtek2020. I had upgraded MM2004 version to 2005 one, manteining Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1 installed. But on Syncronizeing it didn't recognize MM2005 version. Than I tried to uninstall Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1 and to install it trying to let its see MM2005...but it didn't.How can I create the appropriate entry in ActiveSync so that MM2005 be recognized?

so you download the older PPC 2002 file (from www.pocketpc.com's

SPB Pocket Plus works flawlessly in my BlueAngel WM5 machine, however, I feel that SPB P+ slowed down my device so I decided to use combination of iLauncher v2.2 (http://www.sbsh.net) and Wisbar Advance 2.4.1.9 (http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com) which runs awesome (much faster than using SPB Pocket Plus)
As for pocket informant, you need to download WM5 version from here:
http://download.pocketinformant.com/FTF/PI_Public_Build/
I hope this helps

there is a big list of progs that are known to work/not work in the himalaya forum.
what i dont understand though is if the program is known to work ok on wk2k5 himalaya, will the same prog work on a k-jam which has a different kind of CPU? or is it all like PC's now where the make of the cpu doesnt really matter and that windows takes care of all that kind of stuff.

there is already a warning that tomtom 5 will not install properly through activesync 4, (files have to be transfered without activesync 4) this may also be why some other programs will seem to be incompatable with wm5?
so if you can transfer the program eg by card reader that you want to test, then install it, you may get better results.
mine should be arriving tomorrow
changing the subject slightly, ordered mine from http://www.smartdevicesdirect.com/index.php
very happy with the service.

MS AutoRoute for PPC & HTC Wizard

Has anyone tried to install the latest AutoRoute for PPC on a Windows Mobile 5 enviroment? Especially on the Wizard?

:shock: Is there a version of AR for the PPC, I thought this was a Windows application only, I'll be pleased if there is a PPC version now....

I didnt think there was...
.... unless hes thinking of the Streets client where you can export maps of high detail... but that does not use a GPS ... least it didnt when I last used it.
Terran

I'm such an idiot. Apologies.
I meant the Streets in AutoRoute 2005 indeed. And now there is also a AR2006!
Anyway, has anyone tried it?

Great news!
(that's how I repay you for your lost time with my stupid question)
Pocket Streets now becomes Pocket AutoRoute and from version 2006 also supports GPS!!

Cool! Opera is great on the desktop. Can you explain more about its strengths and weaknesses? Does it work in VGA mode?

yes, if you set the fonts to be smooth and small. Outstanding. A little bit of pain for your eyes, though.
Probably the rendering is more suitable for a portrait smartphone screen, but I think it will change when the definitive program will be released.

I tried it a couple of months ago. Ignore that it only works on smartphones, worked fine on my XDAII (Mobile 2005). I think i just extracted the cabs out and installed it manually.
Gonna try it again on EXEC hopefully it will make browsing easier.

Me too, and me too!
(And it's fantastic when used with ozVGA)

So you suggest me to buy it? :lol:
Alex

Well I got mine free with AutoRoute, I thought Pocket Streets was a free viewer? I certainly haven't seen it for sale anywhere...
My mistake it's $25 on the Microsoft website. Seems steep for what it is, but it does the job. I'd get Pocket Streets 2006 free with AutoRoute 2006 if I were you though, better value...

Well I bought it for 25$.. Well its ok for me..
But I am very disapointed about the resolution of the maps..!!
Looks like ega 10 years ago..
Isn't there any solution like this with high resolution maps?

Look at what I found: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/det...code=10-15710793-2&adcampaign=email,ECOSTCNET
