why did I upgrade?

[goodtimes73]

I have had a few problems with my x50v after upgrading to 5.0

First it will not read the 2.2gig CF card that I have. also it will only read my 512 CF after I reset the pda if I turn it off and turn it back on it will not see the CF card.

next problem if I do not use the PDA every day it will not power on unless I hit the reset button. over the weekend if do not put it on the charger on monday will not power on press the reset check the Bat and it is still 50-60%. not sure whats up with that.

almost every time I take pda off the cradle I get a gray screen and and have to push the reset buton.

with 2003 never had any of the problems untill 5.0 I dont think I ever pressed the reset button

If you wish, you can roll back to WM2003SE using this utility from Dell;

And if you want to stay with WM 5.0, there are several registry hacks that can help. Take a look at this long thread at Aximsite;

thnaks for the link about the dif fixes. I will try some of them. A roll back is not some thing that I wanted to do. The bigest prob was the gray screen and that is an esy fix turn on the pda when you charge it and the cf issue
