Is this the screen with the "My Info" logo at the top, or the screen where you can change your user information details?

Thanks for the quick reply darius. Yes the screen does have 'my info' in large letters displayed. Can I stop it appearing?

Also did you know that PDA Essentials in the UK vited the HP Ipaq 4150 as their best PDA of 2004 ??

Okay, go to Start > Settings > Owner Information, and untick the "Show information when device is turned on" box. However, this will also remove this informative screen when you turn on the device from standby mode. So, could you please give me a few more details on the problem? Does this screen appear while your Pocket PC is on, or does it automatically switch on from standby and display this screen every few hours?

I'm not surprised. It's one of the best devices out there, IMO.

After i have turned the machine off it will show this screen every few hours..........I would still like the owner info to be available if say I lose the machine.

thanks

Okay, then in that case, leave the box checked. So in fact, the problem is not an owner information screen appearing at set intervals, but rather your Pocket PC coming out of standby mode without you expecting it to.

Do you have your Wi-Fi or Bluetooth running in the background, or do you have any programs (today plug-ins included) that are configured to update itself from the internet every few hours? A common culprit is Journal Bar.

I know wifi and bluetooth are not running but I know I have the likes of calendar and inbox running when I turn the machine off.
It is actually the owner info screen that is being displayed every few hours. I seem to remember the machine asking me something to do with this when I got it.

thanks

When you got your machine, you were asked to enter your user information data. If you wanted to, you could check the box to have it displayed when you turn on your device. The probable reason behind your owner information screen appearing every few hours is because your device has been configured to display it when it comes out of standby - willingly or in this case, probably unwillingly. Have you set your device to automatically check for messages? Or do you have a weather program running? An RSS reader wanting to grab updated feeds every so often? Perhaps you could try switching off your device without any active programs running (Calendar and Inbox, included) and see if the problem still exists.

Thanks for your help darius. I will try that and get back to you.

Hi Darius,
I have tried what you mentioned but no joy. How do I check if I have set the device to check for messages/updated every so often?

Also when I do a restore from my sd to the ipaq for say a single file all that happens is that the folder is restored but without the relevant file.....do you know why this is?

thanks for your time
