Does ActiveSync 4.x crash your XP?

I have AS4.1 installed and running on XP and XP crashes with a ialmrnt, audio, or some sys dll file error. This is while having AS connected through USB. What really pisses me off is when the BA isn't connected to the computer, everything is okay. I need to pinpoint what is really cause the problem. Does AS4.x crash you WinXP install?

No. Maybe it's something with your version of Office?

Well I found out it wasn't AS. BSOD'ed on me without AS activated. Either f'ing hate windows or Intel, one of the two. This is a new install, no Office suite installed, barely any apps installed. Only necessary applications for web design, ftp, and SSH. Maybe time to swich to Mac.
Thanks to the only person that replied. I guess people are right about members on this site only replying when they have something they need. You guys are great!

Works normally here.

No, it is very reliable, compatibility with my WindowsXP. Maybe your system is illegal copy.

Nahh.. works on a pirated copy too

ya i downloaded an illegal copy of activesync 4.1 from a warez server from china.

We were referring to a pirated copy of Windows XP

I don't think you understood my sarcasm. Oh China servers have what he was refering to also. Come on now, do you honestly beleive I would think it was a good or bad copy of the OS that was crashing it? Anyway, this thread was solved long ago. A bit late for anyone to start posting now.
Cheers.

remove clearvue PDF

how

I am not an expert, but I think that the only way is through rom cooking. You cannot remove files present on rom after it has been flashed on your device
I may be wrong, but this is what I understood

that is Correct.

I think clearvue PDF is a waste of time... the only times I've needed to open a PDF file on my phone I havn't been able to...
ROM cookers might as well stop putting it in their roms and let people decide to install adobe reader LE themselves.

flame away
If you don't want it to appear on your program list, you can just delete the short cut.

just a little suggestion
go to download a shareware version of clearvue PDF, then extract the CAB out and out of winCE Cab manager, You will know all the files that associated with it

For you maybe.
I have efax and viewing faxed pdfs is essential for my work.
I've never had a problem with clearvue and if they removed it, I might as well be back on a standard cell phone.

I guess I'm just an "if it ain't broken, then don't change it...unless its a ROM or other toy..." type of guy.
I've never had a problem with ClearVue so wouldn't know the difference to be quite honest.
I come from Palm where I had to use Docs to Go...now THAT sucked.

the diff is acrobat is much faster. it's significant for > 1 page doc.

Acrobat can also be ran from the externial memory. I would like to see the removal of PowerPoint, that sucker is about 3 Meg. and useless to me.

i-mate's WWE ROM includes ClearVUE as an uninstallable app. There's a cab-file in the extROM called Default_MP_ClearVue_PDF_2.42.442_CDL_WWE_FontFiles.cab. It's 10.4 KB in size so I doubt this could be the full app.
The registry has information on installed apps at
HKLM\Security\AppInstall

Yes, but it doesn't really uninstall it - just the shortcut. The app is still in the windows dir.

Strangely, I have done a search for "pdf" in the windows directory and got the following results. However, I go in and change the properies to make them NOT read only and system, but they still cannot be manually deleted. Hmmm... odd. It must be because of that attribute called "In ROM". Rats.
My thought was to manually delete some files and then apply the registry settings. Oh well, cooking up a custom rom may actually be easier now!

no files for clearvue are labeled as pdf, that's why your not finding it

Why would one want WM6 anyway?

After reading A LOT of threads I started to wonder... Why? What is the advantage if any? Can anyone enlighten me?
I mean, isn't WM5 quicker and more stable?...

*** NO! ***

Oh...
10 characters

for me wm6 has:
html mail
more 3rd sip works
faster boot up time - at least for dopod official rom

I found Pushmail in WM6 to be more stable. WM5 (at least on the Trinity) seemed to miss the heartbeat quite often, resulting in long delivery times for mail instead of instant delivery. I do not believe that this is a fault of WM5, as Directpush was invented in 2005 and was reported to be quite solid in WM5, but there seemed to be something in the WM5 of the Trinity that was not quite right.

Where? I haven't found anything. Just plenty of threads about WM6, no threads on what are the advantages.
What's the point in being aggressive and rude? Makes you feel better? If anything is "stupid and useless" here, it would be your reply.

yes why would we want better, faster, software with more features. Personally, i think my copy of windows 3.11 is FAR superior to windows xp and vista

who needs windows when you've got DOS!!
and wish people will stop calling command prompt DOS...

What a nice collection of MS lies......
I use WM6, but mostly based on flaws I can't stand with in WM5, not because the WM6 "vast" improuvements.
From this document you notice several things:
1.- Most changes are done on MS interest, not yours.
2.- Flaws and glitches from WM 2003 are STILL there (try to smart dial names with non-english characters....)
3.- Network configuration is a mess by itself, unless you are the kind of "do-nothing" guy. Just try to configure a few fixed IP address for your home and work networks....
And so on.
As soon as someone gets a full SO (Windows, Linux?) on a pocket size device and gets a decent battery life, WM and the likes will instantly die. UMPC and MIDs are getting closer, but convergence may take a while.
I feel that MS knows that, and they are just "milking the WM cow" instead of fixing things.

Antivirus Soft on TILT2

Hi,
What antivirus works and can be trusted for Tilt 2? I tried Symantec, but it doesnt work and gives errors.
Thank you.

http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=30

says it supports 6.1. I don't see that it supports 6.5. Do you know if it does?
HT

Yeah it will run

Sorry, but I'm little sceptical about this program.

flexilis is what i've used and it seems to work well

is that really necessary? i think you only need antivirus and antispyware on a windows desktop.

This gives only malware protection, no virus protection

Don´t think antivirus is really needed yet...

That's ridiculous, Leo doesn't have a keyboard.

So, no one uses antivirus on the phone!? It is good news for hackers! And surprise for me!

http://www.bullguard.com/why/bullguard-mobile-antivirus.aspx
Found that via Microsoft's website, so I would imagine it's legit. $40 though. And I've honestly can't say I've ever heard of anyone getting a virus on their mobile phone before, though I don't think it's impossible.
ETA: I would imagine you can connect your phone to your PC as a disk drive, and use your desktop anti-virus to scan it. Has anyone tried this?

Recommendation needed for a good antivirus for HTC Touch Pro 2 Windows mobile 6.5

Hello Everyone..
Today I flashed the ROM for my HTC TP2 to the one listed below which comes with Windows Mobile 6.5.
ROM Name : WWE RHODIUM Cookie Energy style
ROM Version : 03.Jul.2010 WWE
ROM date: 03/15/10
RADIO Version : 3.45.25.14
Everything seems to be great so far and the only thing I now need is a good antivirus that can protect my device against viruses and other security issues.
Can anyone please recommend me a good antivirus or firewall solution that can be installed on Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional and which should not degrade the performance of the device..?
Any suggestions will really be helpfull..

why would you need an anti virus?
ive used WM for the past 3 to 4 years without an anti virus and i never had any virus problems ever since
but if youre really that concern then, turn off Beam, Bluetooth file sharing, and dont browse any sites that may contain a virus.....but thats AFIAK
cuz really WM phones arent really that immune to viruses AFIAK

Sorry to be a pain here...
but what if I recieve an infected email? Wont it harm my phone?
I do not browse those vulnerable websites nor have any habbit of downloading suspicious applications. I am concerened about email...
Please advise..

No way something can infect your WM phone. There are about 3 viruses for WM as far as I know, and they are all installed by cabs or other **** from warez.
If you are so concerned about privacy and viruses you may try Lookout. I really enjoy its localization service. It has a got a firewall and a anti-virus integrated.

pocket outlook doesnt execute any macros or other things like desktop outlook does
also, it would have to be a virus written for WM, viruses written for other (dekstop) windows wont infect windows mobile

Precisely, it's like a Windows virus harming a Mac computer. Windows Mobile is wayyyy different than desktop version of Windows, therefore the same viruses on desktop won't work on Windows Mobile.

Thanks for clarifying my doubt.. I wasnt aware about this and indeed i now feel a bit assured ..

Samylines is right to want antivirus. The "I've never had a virus yet so don't need antivirus software" argument is like saying you'll never wear a seatbelt because you haven't yet had an accident. It's definitely prudent to have the assurance of antivirus especially in an industry that is changing and growing (and the threat of viruses increases) on a daily basis.
I don't know Kaspersky's Mobile antivirus, but I use their PC version and find it superb, so I imagine their mobile version would be good too. And I know that F-secure also make a good mobile antivirus.

as jackos pointed out there are not very many viruses out there for WM (he says 3, ive only heard of 2 though) and they are installed via cabs/exes, not email as the OP is concerned about, and i dont think an antivirus would be very good at stopping those, just like desktop antivirus isnt too good at stopping similar trojans on their OSes
the fact is your desktop usually gets infected via flash player, java, email macros and other means similar to that, and the phone simply doesnt support any of that, so its a lot harder to get infected even if there were more viruses
and with WM losing market share to iphone and android i doubt anyone is keen on making many new viruses for WM
maybe we should start a poll, how many people dont run antivirus and never had a virus
as for me, 10 years using palm, WM and blackberry, no AV, no viruses

I agree with you. I think the chances of getting a virus on a Windows Mobile device are extremely small. But you say yourself "its a lot harder to get infected..." not "its impossible to get infected".
Like you I have been using Windows Mobile for several years and never had a virus, but I'm accepting that the possibility exists. It's the same as insuring your house against the possibility of theft, even though it's very unlikely to happen. I don't understand why you're against someone taking the precaution of installing antivirus software "just in case"?

Peace people
All we can say, anyone who wants to use any antivirus and firewall for his/her Windows Mobile, he does have a few good options.. Else its upto that user to use it not.. isnt it
I did get the option I was looking for and thanks everyone for helping me out and sharing your knowledge here...
