I have an iPAQ 4705 (Windows Mobile 2003 SE). When I installed the trial, a warning screen came up saying that it may not be compatible with my OS (so I have not run it yet). I looked around online, but I could not find any place where it says MemMaid supports SE. Does anyone here happen to know? Have you tried it? I do not want to mess up my device. Thanks!

Hi,
You can go ahead and use MemMaid, it works fine on 2003 & 2003SE

The warning message you're getting is only because of a missing flag in our installation program.
We already updated our installation files, However, it's going to be part of MemMaid 1.4 which will be released soon with some new features

Upgrading to MemMaid 1.4 will be free to all MemMaid registered owners

This program is great, I love it. I tried it for my XDA II initially, and it saved up 2 Meg. At first I thought, that's not bad, then my father visit me and brought his h4155. He complains how he almost ran out of internal memory. So I decided to look into it and clean up his junk manually. Then I remember about Dinar Memmaid, I didn't think of it since I just tried that day.

I installed it and did the clean up, I scan for all except for History and Cookies and it found 12 megs worth of junk, that's include the email attachments, cache and other stuff that adds up.

Right there and then, he decided to buy it. He loves it since he does a lot with his iPaq on the internet. I rarely go on the internet, that's probably why I don't have that much in my XDA II, but then again, my XDA II has 128mb of ram compare to h4155 64mb. 12 Megs makes a difference in 64mb ram device.

Before he installed memMaid, he has 8mb left, now he has more than 20mb. Dinar also let you set where to store the cache files and font cache such as to your storage card.

Great job Dinar

I just tried the trial version, it's brilliant. Forgive me if my question has an obvious answer (and no doubt it probably has), I'm a bit of a newbie around here, but how can I purchase this software taking advantage of the Pocket PC Thoughts discount (since I have now subscribed?).

Thanks!

PS. How about a PC version? Sure we have large HDDs now, but I still like to make sure everything is tidy on my desktop.

Registering in the forums is not the same as subscribing (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/subscribe.php) - subscribing costs money, but if you buy software regularly, you'll get it back and more, along with a free PDAmill game, and other goodies.

On Windows XP, use the Disk Cleanup tool - it works quite nicely.

I moved the avantgo cache to ipaq file store on my 6315. Now a small amount but most of the content is not available after the required soft reset and resync although it seems to resync properly and completely and all the files seem to be in the ipaq file store directory. I switched it back to main memory and Avantgo works fine.

Any ideas why it doesn't work?

In addition, you may want to use Disk Defragmenter. While it doesn't "clean up" your files as such, it works nicely with the other tool in helping optimise system performance.

Dear Sir,
Please do the following

* Go to activesync, click on avantgo, then properties, you will see an
option that says resync all data next connection, or something there
abouts, click it resync, (it will take longer cause it has to
redownload all the graphics) and you should be all set....

If this doesn't work with you please do the following

* On ppc is go to settings, connections, avantgo, then remove your
profile. Now add your profile, hostname is sync.avantgo.com, port 80,
user name, and password
