Did you change the name on the device? <br><br><a href="http://smittyware.com/support/codereq_ppc.php">http://smittyware.com/support/codereq_ppc.php</a><br><br><a href="http://smittyware.com/ppc/faq.php#smitty_id">http://smittyware.com/ppc/faq.php#smitty_id
</a><br><p style="font-style: italic;"><b>What is a Smittyware ID?</b>
<a href="http://smittyware.com/ppc/faq.php#top">(back to top)</a></p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">No, this is not the same thing as the Owner Name or Device ID. No, you
do not need to purchase the software to download it, install it and get
this information.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">The Smittyware ID is an eight-character code, consisting of numeric
digits and/or the letters A-F, used to create a registration code for a
particular Pocket PC device. It is based on the owner name that you set
on the device, but is used instead to allow for possible characters in the
name which may not work so well for the registration process.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">To get this code, and to enter the registration code later, select
<b>Options > Register</b> from the menu bar on the application's main
screen. The main screen is the one you see when you first start the
program, such as CacheMate's list view.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">If you've already made the mistake of using the Owner Name or Device ID
to generate a registration code, you may use the Pocket PC <a href="http://smittyware.com/support/codereq_ppc.php">code request form</a> to correct it.</p>
<a style="font-style: italic;" name="id_changed"></a>
<p style="font-style: italic;"><b>My Smittyware ID has changed, and I can't change it back. Help?</b>
<a href="http://smittyware.com/ppc/faq.php#top">(back to top)</a></p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">Of course you can't... at least not directly. As stated above, the ID
is based on the Owner Name set on your PDA, and for some reason that has
changed, hence the change in the Smittyware ID.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">If you can remember what the Owner Name was originally:<br>
- Close the Smittyware application (either using ctrl-Q or the Memory
control panel)<br>
- Change the Owner Name back to what it was before<br>
- Restart the application to regenerate the Smittyware ID</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">If the above procedure fails, it is because you can't recall exactly
what the name originally was. In that case, you should <a href="http://smittyware.com/support/codereq_ppc.php">request a new code</a> based on the new
ID.</p>
<a style="font-style: italic;" name="ppc_install"></a>
<p style="font-style: italic;"><b>I can't seem to run the installer. What do I do?</b>
<a href="http://smittyware.com/ppc/faq.php#top">(back to top)</a></p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">The installer program that you download is intended to run on the PDA,
not your desktop PC. Just copy the installer to the PDA using ActiveSync
(or an equivalent for your platform, as mentioned below) and run the
installer from the Pocket PC's File Explorer.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">The main reasons for going that route instead of a normal CAB file were
one of size (it's compressed, where CAB files aren't) and to make it
easier to install to alternate locations. Another benefit of this
technique is the removal of the dependency on a Windows-based desktop
platform or, for that matter, a desktop computer at all! There are, for
example, ActiveSync equivalents available for Mac OS X (The Missing Sync,
PocketMac Pro) and Linux/FreeBSD (SynCE), but none of them can handle
Windows-based installers for Pocket PC software.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">The odd thing is that the Windows 2000 error when trying to run the
installer ("This is a valid executable, but not for this machine type")
actually made some sense. Rather than further clarifying it in Windows
XP, though, they made it more confusing ("This is not a valid Win32
application").</p>
<a style="font-style: italic;" name="upgrading"></a>
<p style="font-style: italic;"><b>How do I upgrade to the latest version of a Pocket PC program?</b>
<a href="http://smittyware.com/ppc/faq.php#top">(back to top)</a></p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">Simply <a href="http://smittyware.com/ppc/">download</a> the latest version of the program and
install it. While you may install directly over what you have in the case
of Pocket PC 2002 and 2003, the best practice in all cases is to uninstall
the version you have installed first. If you do this, be sure to select
"Yes" when asked if you are in the process of upgrading... this will
preserve registration and settings information.</p><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/28/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Debbie</b> <<a href="mailto:maillade@cox.net">maillade@cox.net</a>> wrote:</span>
