Spontaneous IE Failure?

[inkfox]

Internet Explorer is suddenly not loading pages over my Bluetooth phone's dialup. It doesn't cause it to dial, and if I connect manually, it won't load pages. It only flashes the loading animation, but stays on the current (local file) page.

Other Internet apps work correctly.

I've compared notes with another user, and we've got nothing in common, save the Bluetooth.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I've an IPAQ 3975. Any clue where to start looking?

Is the other user the one in this thread (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6143)? Probably not, as you said he has Bluetooth, but the problem sounds similar.

Yep! I'll leave further responses to that thread.

On your PPC try going to windows/welcome.exe tap it and you will be taken to the welcome screen as if you had just done a hard rest, without having done one. This process somehow seems to reaquire Internet Explorer. It should at least fix the problem of not going anywhere. I have no idea what effect it will have on your Bluetooth connection, but I'm willing to bet it will fix that as well.

You, sir Dave, are the reason the Internet was created.

That did it. And also -- YOU ROCK! :D

Thank you..... :)

Glad it worked. Neat little trick eh!

Ah, yes, that problem. :-) In another thread, we determined that deleting the CMMapG, CMMapP and/or GCounterFile.mmf files in the My Device folder can cause Pocket Interent Explorer to fail.

Running the Welcome program replaces those files.

I wondered why Microsoft didn't put those files in the Windows folder. They are marked Hidden, but I always choose to display hidden files.

Cool.

I thought I had checked that. I guess I hadn't. Thanks for the info.
