I have a number of documents that are of the ext. (pdb), these were operating under the Palm Treo, using the (ISilo) reader. The question is; how can I use these type of files on my Kaiser? Do I need ISilo or a different reader? Just a note, the ISilo reader has only three types of CAB file, set for; MIPS, SH3 or ARM. If ISilo is to be used, then which file type should be installed. Any help would be appreciated.
You would need the ARM version for a Windows Mobile device......alternatively, if iSilo doesn't come up good, you could try eReader Pro for Pocket PC and Windows Mobile Editions, which is also reported to read .PDB files.
HTH,

Hi Guys
I hope someone can help here, my Kaiser has office mobile but does nto have access built into this package
Is there a version of MS Access for WM6 at all and if so where can I find it?
Thanks

www.kaione.com
sprintdb is probably the best option, but their sync is not yet compatible with active sync 4.5!!!!
Will this work with MS Access 2003 files though?
I use a Access DB a lot for one application and rather than converting query results to XLS files to view on my kaiser can i view access files while out on the move.
I am not worried about synch functions as i will simple upload the file to the device.
Check out www.syware.com they have database products. I used their product for several years when I was on the road.
You can get Access for windows mobile, i have a TYTN2 from orange UK and it is pre loaded with office, word, excel, powerpoint and access. I'm not sure where you can get an upgrade but it must be out there.
HandBase from ddh software is my favourite. If you get the professional version ($40) it comes with a PC sync conduit and forms designer. You can then link MSaccess tables directly to tables on your device and when you activesync they sync up too.
Worth downloading the demo.

I created a form with fillable boxes in acrobat 7, and I can read it on my
tilt, but cannot enter the data into the boxes.
Anyone have a clue if the pocket version of acrobat will let you do anything other than look at a file?
Mainly because your using an acrobat reader it only views pdf files and doesnt create or modify them
is there such a version which would allow you to "fill in the blanks" on the form I created with acrobat?
I'm not sure if there is another post out there for this, searched the forums but didn't see one... I could have missed it but anyway.

Hey guys
Anyways I want to know if it is possible to change a setting somewhere to get my Kaiser to work like a flash disk, at the moment I have an 8 gig memory card in it and it takes forever to copy files to and from it, you also need to have Active Sync or Windows Mobile Manager installed on the PC to be able to do so...
All I want to have is, when I plug my Kaiser in, a REMOVABLE STORAGE link appears on my Desktop and it works like a flash disk will... I also have a problem when doing it through ActiveSync that when copying files FROM the phone to desktop or wherever, the files doesnt copy or appear on the PC... I've read on the net that you can find it in your PC's TEMP folder but I cant find it and this is not how it is suppose to work...
Any help would be apreciated
Thanks in advance.
search some more and you will find the following facts (which i am listing here because i am in a good mood, but you should still search because you will find more details that way):
1. a program (not free, i.e. commercial) called "card export" will allow you to do what you desire in terms of exposing your microsd card as removable storage when you connect to your PC via usb...see point 4 below also
2. another program called "wm5torage" MIGHT work depending on which version of wm5torage you try and which particular ROM you try it on. its a bit of a hit and miss affair, though. in my experience, wm5torage worked only ONCE, and i was using winmo6.0 back then...it has NEVER worked for me on winmo6.1 or winmo6.5 ROMs...see point 4 below also
3. newer devices from htc are able to do what you desire out-of-the-box. this is because these devices contain the necessary drivers to enable the functionality but, sadly, these drivers were never shipped with the kaiser and no one has (yet) found a way to hack the drivers of newer devices to work with the kaiser.
4. WHATEVER mechanism you try, it WILL BE SLOW. this is because the kaiser has a usb2.0 COMPLIANT interface. the "compliant" term essentially means that the device can WORK on a usb2.0 interface but not at full usb2.0 SPEED.
5. activesync will always work to PUT files on the kaiser. GETTING files FROM the kaiser is "buggy" with activesync. as a workaround to activesync, i use "schaps htc network plugin" on my kaiser. what this wonderful little piece of kit does is that it will allow you to map folders that point to one or more "network drives". if you set up a shared folder (with FULL ACCESS to "Everyone") on your desktop/laptop, you can use the network plugin to map a folder (usually under "\Network") and then you can freely read/write files using any file manager on your kaiser over WIFI as well as over activesync. so when i want to retrieve something from my kaiser, i establish an activesync or wifi connection and then i browse the shared folder from the kaiser and dump whatever i want on to the desktop/laptop's shared folder.
6. another alternative is to use the remote desktop application. this will let you access your desktop's/laptop's desktop remotely (over wifi as well as over activesync) from your kaiser. in the "Options" of the remote desktop application, you will find a setting under the "Resources" tab called "Device storage"...setting this option to "Map to the remote machine" will make your device's "\" folder (including the "\Storage Card" folder) available to your desktop/laptop in "My Computer". the catch is that you will have to use your desktop's/laptop's desktop on the tiny QVGA screen of your kaiser.
7. LUCKY SEVEN is the BEST OPTION in my opinion. simply buy a cheap microsd card reader and when you need to use your microsd card as a usb drive, simply pop out the card from the kaiser, slide it into the card reader, and you'll have a fully functional 8GB usb flash drive. desktop windows won't know the difference and the speed is phenomenal! as a benchmark, it takes about 10 minutes to copy about 200MB using activesync. the card reader will do the same operation in under a minute! it seems htc has designed the kaiser's microsd card slot to be "hot swappable" but i recommend closing all file browsers and any programs running from your microsd card or any programs accessing files/data from your microsd card before removing the card from the kaiser. also recommended is to turn off any and all power saving options set for your microsd card slot on your kaiser.
good luck!
Thank you very much good sir.

I second Card Export, i've tried so many different options for my Kaiser and it was the only program/option that was able to do this.
Hi ppl.
About a year ago I bough a Uniden portable GPS unit. Pretty nice machine, plays music, vids, pictures, has an SD slot (for GPS software and Multimedia) and most importantly it runs Windows CE (not sure which version).
Seeing as it's kind of out of date, but still a fully functional machine, I want to see what I can do on the software side.
It runs Windows CE which means I should, at least in theory, be able to install other apps, right?
After investigating the machine a bit, including a tear-down, the only thing I can come up with is by using the SD card to load in a File explorer of some kind to give me access to the devices file system.
All the apps seem to be hard-coded into the GPS unit itself, except the GPS Software. It's using Igo 2006, the EXE file is on the SD card, which is where you used to download the updates for it. Without the EXE file on the card, the device is essentially a cheesy looking multimedia player and the Navigation function of the unit is greyed out.
I'm a bit of a noob at this, so, so far all i've tried is putting Total Commanders EXE and other files on the SD card, and renaming the EXE to MobileNavigator.EXE. The navigation function is then selectable, but once clicked, it does nothing more than grey out the Navigation function again.
Anyone have any ideas / suggestions as to how I can gain access to the file system? I've got a wicked in-car DVD player that handles everything, so I'm not afraid to take out the multimedia functions of the GPS and leave it as a purely GPS device, as well as I'd like to be able to load in different GPS softwares which are available online.
Try creating a folder on the storage card called 2577, and rename the Total Commander EXE to autorun.exe, and then place autorun.exe in 2577 (you might also want to try putting the other Total Commander files in that folder too). Also, make sure you're using the Total Commander for Windows CE, not Windows Mobile. Hopefully that should give you more access into the system, and the ability to install programs. This site might also be of some help. If this doesn't work, try creating another folder called 1824, and do the same.
Thanks Dave, had a go at that and checked out the attached information, however nothing happened.
I have found out that this device, a Uniden GNS8360, is using WinCE 4.2.
Another guy was successful in gaining access to the file system in an older model, the GNS8350, even though I've also tried his method, I stlil don't have access. I won't bother posting an outside link, however his method involved using a program called dTree, renamed as the MobileNavigator.EXE file, and attempted to boot that from the devices menu.
Any other help would be appreciated
Some Success!
I have successfully been able to load a relatively OLD version of Total Commander onto the device, it has now replaced the totally boring "Pairs" game.
Next step is to find some way to enable the on-screen keyboard, it's settings are there in control panel, but can't do much else without it.
Once again any suggestions will be investigated and appreciated
-Now seeking Win CE 4.2 On Screen Keyboard CAB
I have an old medion satnav that has win ce 4.2 as well.
Try searching Medion PNA 200s/150
in google and there is a version of tomtom that works with win ce 4.2 (it has been modified).
try that and i think i still have some programs left from it so il try and post them as well.

Sweet I'll have to have a look around, i've found the latest 2009 maps for the stock software (igo 2006 plus) gonna see if I can tweak them into it, but now that I have access to the file system I can launch more'n one navigation program so that'd be awesome, off to google i go (no pun intended)
There also seem to be some "warezed" versions of igo 2008, I've noticed some apps designed for later WinMo/WinCE versions won't install, but if I run them thru Cab2OEM to extract their files, put them on the SD Card, some of them will actually launch and run on the older CE4.2. This certainly seems to be a decent little hand-held PC - Would be great if I could find a way to flash something like WinMo 5 or 6.1 onto it I'll dig out the system spec's and see if there's anything useful in it.
You also might want to check out http://www.hpcfactor.com and http://hpcmonex.net (run by XDA's cmonex). I have an old NEC MobilePro 900C, which runs Windows CE .NET 4.2, and those are probably the best Windows CE sites on the Internet, the former better for tutorials and the latter for utilities and downloads. They contain the latest versions of Pocket Internet Explorer, the latest Opera Mobile Betas that still work on Windows CE, Bochs for PPC, TCPMP, and many more. Also, you might want to check out Gigabar. It's a free Windows CE taskbar program which I think might restore taskbar/start menu fuctionality.
