Worldmate and the iPaq RX5915
OK, so I know this is an old issue but so far no one has mentioned (as far as I can see).
I have a iPaq RX5915 "Travel Companion" that is in very good condition. I use it every day. Problem is, Worldmate 2006 was part of the "ROM" install. That would be fine except the software publisher has updated their software (Worldmate Live?) leaving Wordlmate 2006 dead in the water. I can't uninstall it and it is difficult to ignore because it has a Today Screen plug-in and is embedded in HPs Quick Launch.
I've disabled the Today Screen plug-in but don't see any way to remove the program or even hide it. Any suggestions?
PS - It's a shame HP and the software vendor embedded this in the ROM and then abandoned it. It is using up valuable memory that could be used for better things. This is similar to the Nevo software in another iPaq. The AV remote software was cool and worked great until it too was abandoned. Now there are no updates and no practical way to get it to work with newer equipment.
