Hard Reset Tip

[stolkjo]

Make sure you have the "Show hidden files" and "Show 'System' folder" checked under preferences. Do a full copy of your "C" drive on your "D" drive. Make sure after you install new/additional software you make a new fresh copy. That way all you have to do after you do a OS reinstall is make sure nothing else than "System" is running. Delete everything from your your "C" drive, copy everything back from your "D" drive. Do a "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "Fn" + "K" and your back in business. The only exception is RoutePlanner, this is the only software you will have to reinstall from the CD. Everything else will work after the "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "Fn" + "K".

After my recent hard reset and restore, Routeplanner Milenium (V 2.13) was still working correctly on my Mbook! Maybe I was lucky or had to be compensated after my trouble with the reinstallation of the OS.... :D

Japp, as far as I know Stolkjo was wrong, and your result is right: Routeplanner/etc only need the CD if they are moved to a DIFFERENT Psion, because they lock themselves to the machine's UID.

I was able to reproduce the RoutPlanner issue. It is based on the P module. Here is where my logic came from, I installed a netBook module in my Mbook and had to re-install RoutePlanner. Just tried it and the same thing happens the other way around. So when there are no hardware changes RoutePlanner still works.
