DO I NEED TO BUY ANY THING TO USE WEB AND E-MAIL CAPABILITIES ON ARCHOS 5 250

If you are asking about the engine oil, generators like the 10W 30 weight oil, which is good for winter and summer use. . The brand doesn't matter to any gret extent. Just don't buy the el cheapo brand in the dollar store.

You can download a free manual from the manufacturer's web site at http://www.archos.com/support/download/manuals/english_user_manual_archos_5-5g-7_v3.pdf

You need to purchase then install the web browser to get it work.

THe same thing happened to me instead of doing it directly on your archos do it on a computer it is much easier and takes less time.To this day i am still calling the Archos company trying to figure out why it is doing that.

Hi you need to register your product on the Archos web site, you will then have access to your personal pass code - But all they will do is just send you a e-mail saying call us on 0207 949 0115.

So just cut out the middleman and call them on 0207 949 0115.

There is a seller on ebay (name is luhahaca) that says he is an Archos official Plug-ins reseller. Just search for 605 Plug-ins on ebay. He sells a four pack for only $38.00. I bought and installed them and they work great. Really makes the Archos functional - the way it should come out of the box. Actually, (sadly) the way it does seem to come out of the box - I was disappointed when I received my plug-ins download. All 4 plug-ins = 2kb. Web browser with widgets, extended movie and music capabilities and Real player mode. It seems to me that all of this is already in the Archos, they simply charge extra for a key to access it. It's a shame. Totally worth the price if you have an Archos, but really too bad they feel the need to force their hand into your pocket after you've just given them hundreds of dollars. I think the unit would be reviewed better, and Archos wouldn't look so petty, if these features were just enabled right out of the box. (my opinion anyways)

Anyhow, I hope that answered your question!

First off, I would recommend at least to get you going, that you NOT use the Archos to buy your plug-ins. Instead go to a desktop or laptop computer and buy your plug-ins using it. You will get the files you need by email. Once you copy them to the root of your Archos, the upgrade is painless. You likely will need the latest firmware before you upgrade so make sure you get that first.

I bought 4 Plug-ins for my Archos 605 WiFi TV+(Cinema+Podcast+Web)plugins for about $38.00 US on eBay. The deal was quick and cost much less than I would have paid to buy them directly from Archos. The seller I bought from claims to be an authorized reseller. I believe this is true because when I went to Archos, I found my player already registered. You may also find that you can get a similar bulk price for plug-ins for at the Archos Forum.
