You can use any brand whatsoever. If you are concerned about compatibility - a genuine problem with some manufacturers - you might consider buying from a retail outlet & test it out on the device itself. Casio uses either Toshiba or Hitachi cards so that would be your best bet.

Your mp3 player should be able to find and play the files from where-ever they are, but it won't be able to move them. For that some sort of file manager is needed. If you plan to use it much for mp3's you'll be getting a larger card soon too!

Try copying gx.dll into your windows directory or any directory the emulators are in...

The problem is most likely with the driver being for an older MIPS processor (like the one in the Casio E-100). Where did you obtain this keyboard. Targus did not really support the EM500 when the keyboard came out. Now, they don't at all. Email Targus www.targus.com or Stowaway www.thinkoutside.com for a new driver.

Compatibility for these devices will depend more on the version of CE than the hardware. I have successfully tried a few with E-11.

I believe if you are hardy with this sort of thing you can order a new touch pad from Global Products or www.pacparts.com. The e-115 , e125 and others all the same. Mine is coming from Global now item # 10003145 @ $28.00 I believe. I will know more when mine arrives. The case is not to hard to crack open just be careful. Once the case is open and motherboard freed turn the mb. over from case. The touch pad removes very easily one ribbon connector and one tape. Tear down pictures @ www.hi-pda.com/usercomment/001215/1.jpg. Be careful to have static band or discharge don't touch except edges and plastic of compact flash. It will take a little work but it is the cheap way. Dick

I don't have any experience with MSN service since I do not live in North America or Europe. However Lan line connectivity would definitely be faster. Yoy would need a COMPATIBLE 10/100 mbps cf lan card & set it up using parameters supplied by your ISP. The instructions + drivers would be included in the cf lan card package.

I don't have the camera, but I would expect it will store those images in My Documents either in the Nand Dick area or (preferably) on the CF card. You would transfer them either through Copy and Paste with an Active Sync connection, or a PCConnect folder sync, or also with PCConnect using copy and paste within beXplore. Another method would be to remove your CF card and use a CF card reader connected to your PC, usually via USB. Or you could try a can opener ;-)

Theoretically it is possible. You would have to get/rig up a cf to ide connector. Pinouts are available on the net. Rig your hard disk in an enclosure such that your HDD from the PC is well buffered against shocks during your car ride. Personally though I feel you are asking for trouble with an extremely high probability of head crash & rendering your HDD totally unusable.

In ActiveSybch there is an option of setting the priority of either the PC, the PDA or leaving the items unresolved. You can either change this of follow another route. With the device off the cradle delete the partnership WITHOUT deleting the partnership folder. Place the device on the cradle & let AS find the device & setup the partnership. Once setup remove the device & go to options & set all the required options. Replace the device & it should synchronise. If you still have problems please contact me directly through email.

If you have active sync installed it will stop pc sync from operating properly. If you don't have active sync on your system then go to the below forum and do a search for info on syncing. There are issues with pc sync that have been remedied with some updates.

Now don't laugh :-) on win 98 windows - I'm told - had a certain limited ability to fix itself. I don't know if xp does or not. Anyway on 98 if you ran into a problem you could let it reboot three or four times without doing anything but booting and shutting down - it at times would correct itself. This was normally on boot problems, but it might do some good - don't know of anything else to suggest. In your case I'd try this then try running active sync two or three times without doing anything else. Anyway that would keep you busy till a good tip comes along :-)

If you had synched the device you have all your data on the desktop pc so I wouldn't worry too much except for some software which may require you to enter the reg info again. You could try the following. Remove both the batteries. Install the main battery. Install the backup battery preferably a NEW one. Let the device charge to the full - until the green charging light goes out. Switch on the device. It should now behave properly. It would help if you generally avoid using the device when you get low battery warning. Especially the backup battery.

In most cases they are interchangeable except for the security feature which you don't need for storage on your EM-500. SD cards are faster in read write department as also they cost more due to security featurtes built in. In Casio cameras Casio recommends SD cards but I have been using MMC cards very successfully.

Your only recourse would be a hard reset. If you wish to go back to the same stage before installation of Quake you will have to delete the partnership in ActiveSynch WITHOUT deleting the Synch folder. Next place the hard reset device on to the cradle. Active synch will find the device. Create partnership using the same identity parameters as you had before hard reset. Setup the synch option to manual. Click on the tools - add remove programs. Highlight Quake if it is on the list & click remove. You can then add rest of the software on the list. Once installed you can go back to the main screen & click on the synch icon. I am not a gamer but you might try installing quake on a cf card in stead of the main memory. It might solve your problem of excessinve storage space/ ram requirement.

My experience with Linksys support has been one of horror. It relates to a different product - 2 port lan printer server. I never got it to work right & it is gathering dust. Perhaps when I have time I will try it out with WinXP with native support if it is built in. Although a manufacturer may claim on his site that a particular device supports WinCE 3.0 on mips cpu you have hake it with a ton of salt. There have been some threads on this boards for the specific device you mention & suggest you contact the concerned persons directly for their opinion & experience. I have found DLink to be far more accurate in its claims than LinkSys.

You have (or a friend) a camera that takes the card you might try formatting on it. Seems there are formatting issues now and then that disappear on a camera.

Tascal software has a software for changing the wallpaper on the CE devices. File name is wpc032mp.zip. Try it.

You might find it slow but it very definitely works. Make sure that in the windows system setup com1 is assigned to th IR hardware & not the serial port (9 pin) hardware.

Try downloading the newest syncware and installing that. I know that only the latest version works for XP, I don't know what w2k does....
