I searched but I can't find anything on this. I have a few games that I can't run because they open up an internet explorer page that says I need embedded visual basic. I thought I have heard before that embedded VB is not compatible with WM5. Is this correct? Is there any workaround to enable these programs to run?
For example a fun game I used to play on my Toshiba e300 a couple years ago, Icy Maze, gives me this error.

You haven't searched my articles, have you ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...e_on_the_application_you&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 )
Here it is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx
Here you go..
I modified the CAB file to allow installation on WM5. I tested it and it does let you install, I can't say if it will work with your programs though.
you can try this too : http://www.omnisoft.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=543&PN=1
Awesome, thanks guys! I tried Kyphur's version of the cab and it works beautifully! I now can play Icy Maze and other great games that have not been updated.
Note: Must install this to main memory. If you install to storage card it will complete and say successful, but it won't work when you go to run the applicable program.

The default (latest) version will also work with WM5 - it's just that you can't install it on storage cards.

There're a lot of eVB games (see www.CeBeans.com for a LOT of them). I, however, would look for Death Drive first, as far as really decent free titles are concerned See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282115 for more info.

There were a lot of games on that site, among other things. The only problem is they all look the same or are very similar in gameplay.
Looking at your blog, it seems that you keep up with PPC gaming pretty well. I'll be downloading Death Drive tonight. What other freeware games do you recommend for the Wizard, in general? I'm not interested in trials, crippledware, etc.

Does anyone have any ideas??

Hi All,
Well I've kicked off my first windows mobile project with a progam I call "WordNetCE". If anyone is familiar with Princeton University's program called WordNet you will know you can use it as a brilliant dictionary/thesaurus, amongst other things that are beyond a normal human's intelligence.
One thing I've found lacking for Pocket PC is a decent free dictionary/thesaurus, so I've set out to make one based upon WordNet which is free to distribute from Princeton. A person named Malcolm Crowe did the original .NET port for WordNet 1.6, so I modified it to work with the new WordNet 2.0 dictionary, as well as with the Pocket PC platform (it wasn't all copy & paste...).
It's free to download from http://www.ebswift.com/PocketPC/WordNet/.
Note though that I have only just barely kicked this project off, but the dictionary side of things is operating. You will find much of the other functionality isn't working, but will come online soon.
Please check it out and start giving me some feedback. Thanks.
Just fixed up a lot more of the functionality - it's more useable compared to what it was before if anyone had a chance to look. A couple of buttons are still not complete, as with most of the main menu, but it can do about 20 times more than what it could this morning.
Look very promising!
Just one question: Is it mandatory to store the WordNet database onto a storage card, or can I store it on internal RAM too?
the cab installer didnt work on my xda. T-mobile wm2003

At the moment it's mandatory, but there's no reason why I can't add an option. Not many people will be able to use main memory because the database is ~over~ 30 meg!

I wonder why? I'm using the T-Mobile 4.01.16 ROM on an XDA 1 and installed the CAB with no problems. Are you using an XDA 2? I'm not sure if there's any difference with the CAB installers between XDA1/2, or maybe there's corruption in the download file, I'll check tomorrow. VS.NET outputs CAB's for all the difference PPC processors, so I'll put them up ASAP to cover other devices than the XDA1.
Thanks for the feedback
Here's a screenshot that's also on the website :

I'm really sorry about that, my download algorithm had a response.end, so a "Thread Aborted" was being tagged onto any download. Changing that to Response.Flush seems to have fixed it, at least for that cab file.
Please give it another go, I do appologise for coming up with such a thread with a screwed download.

Hey man, no appologies needed. Great work, thanks for the great freeware. It worked great.
Thanks Iggy. Bear with me for a few minutes if there's any problem with the download, I'm just writing some referrer protection into downloads. It won't take long.
===OK, the referrer protection is finished and it's all working again...
I just uploaded a version I call 0.5 because it's 0.5% finished. Compared to the version since I posted last in this thread there's some major bugfixes; the adjective and adverb menus now correctly show, and there's versions for different processors.

sorry ebswift, the download links don't seem to work, and once you have fixed them what is the difference between arm & arm4 (xda ii maybe). let me know when it is fixed.
The download is now fixed ~again~...
I already responded to Iggy, but just so the group knows, ARMV4 is the one that seems to be uploaded to my device during debug sessions, so I can safely say that ARMV4 is somehow newer than ARM. So I guess anything XDA1 or upwards can use ARMV4. I have had both working on my XDA1 and I can't see any difference in operation, although I haven't tested for performance.
Nice job brother. Now works perfectly
Well I added the little convenience of the keypad popping up automatically, and popping away on lost focus. There's also a couple more menu items in operation. It's really not far away from working completely, most of the technical stuff is out of the way.
Just downloaded and tried, excellent work. Thanks for setting up the keyboard, makes it a lot easier. Looking forward to the final version, but so far excellent.
I just upgraded to 0.53 so the history works (or should work).
I'm really happy the way this project is going.
All features operating
I have just uploaded WordNetCE .99 with ALL features now operating. Please update to that version and let me know if there's any bugs. Thanks!
For those of you who tried that latest download and found it didn't work, it is now patched, you should be able to get it up and running now.

This was the only thing I installed yesterday and I did a soft reset in the evening and it would not accept my password. I'm just doing a hard reset now.
I use a simple 4 digit PIN and it has always worked before but I just got
'The password you have typed is incorrect'
it took a long time to take a password at all and was getting a countdown timer above the password entry keys on the screen which I don't remember seeing before as well.
I don't know if it was anything to do with this app - has anyone else had problems?

Because at the time you installed it you already had 7 items in your start menu. It is configured to put the shortcut in start menu, but your had maximum number already

Alright, Picsel didn't sound as Taboo on this forum as it does on every other forum so I figured I'd share these. If it is Taboo please just delete the files and I am very sorry.
Below is a rar containing the files from Picsel Browser 1.0.5 (The new one from the i760) with MUCH MUCH MUCH better CSS support. These work fine on my mogul when Picsel 1.0.0 is installed, but don't seem to work at all when Picsel 1.0.0 is not installed first. Maybe I am missing some registry values? I grabbed these files off a i760 demo I got to play with today. If anyone can make a complete everything you will need cab for this that would be awesome.

EDIT: CAB by FAMAN:
Admin edit: File and link removed due to legal complaints from picsel.
Still stops flowing after going into the settings screen
is it me or i cant find the cab and the exe in the folder doesnt work? how are you suppose to install this
Inside \Windows\picselbrowser.exe
But I believe this is a retail product, you might get into trouble for posting this from Site Admin.

works on wizard, crashes on google.
it installed fine on my wizard, and ive been running the original picsel 1.0 for a while, and had little problems with it. Installed this version, havent noticed any significant improvements. One major issue is that it appears to crash as soon as i direct the browser to google.com or any varient e.g google.com/pda etc. i think i might switch back to v1.
thanks for all your effort tho!

It's not a retail product but an OEM; that is, even if you wanted, you can't purchase it. Therefore, it's tolerated and no removed.
Adin edit: we've received legal complaints from picsel stating they do not want us to host or link to their product since it infringes their I.P.

nice app
thanx bro
Very nice app. Would buy it and use it on daily basis if it only didn't take so much memory. Just runing it takes minimum 10% ekstra memory on my phone(sometimes even 20%), compared to regular HTC touchflow. That is the only drawback of the program. Besides that very nice interface, setting ability, and all the other stuff.
Does anyone else have the same memory issue, or is it just my phone? (if it's regular memory use for this program, I understand it, runs alot of 3D stuff, it's just that it starts to lag the phone if you have 1 or 2 programs open)
EDIT:
Ok, after a little bit of reading on SPB site, I can se that 3.0 version is not yet officialy released (they still only have 2.1.5 version as the oficial version on their site). This version is a beta, and not all functionality is enabled. Definetly a better visual and user friendly update compared to older version. Just hope that memory issue will be adressed in finished version.

On HTC HD there is no higher memory usage comparing with TF3D, even less. It runs smoothly without any sluggishness. Very quick display reaction on every touch. In addition, I think this trial version is already full functional, apart from that it will not work after 15 days. Hopefully Spb will release officially by that time ... so common guys ... the way you "dropped out" and let us use for beta testing is the cheapest way for you
