Hi,

I've just got my 5450 and have a couple of newb questions:-

1) How long should my barttery last with BT and WiFi off, only seems to be getting around 1-2 hours

2) How do you do a hard and soft reset, as I keep getting an error about driver memory for WiFi and have to remove the battery to get it working

3) I have office XP for my PC can I install office or more importantly Outlook 2002 from this CD, if so how

4) Since getting the ipaq I've been installing loads of applications etc. to try them, and now I think it may be a bit clogged up with the crap after uninstalling, how do you reinstall the entire ipaq and will I loose any standard applications that came with it like the BT and WiFi manager

5) what hardware do I need to connect the ipaq to an external projector

6) I have the Microsoft BT keyboard and mouse which uses a Microsoft Tranceiver. This shows up as a BT radio in device manager, I understand that to use BT on the ipaq I need to install a vitrual comm port, anyone got any ideas on how to do this

Thanks for your help
Mark

1) I get about 5.5 hours - provided I dont use Nevo, BT, Wi-Fi etc.
2) Soft reset - stick the stylus in the hole in the bottom.
Hard-reset - hold buttons 1 & 4, stick the stylus in the bottom, and hold for a few seconds.
4) If you do a hard reset, it will go back to exactly how it came out of the box (i think... stuff stored in the ROM filestore may stay, may not. I haven't actually tried this)
