Ipaq Slim Keyboard Exp Pack Problem

[Pdaholic]

I saw in some other posts where people said their keyboard would just stop working for unknown reasons. Mine does the same thing, and I was wondering if anyone has determined why the keyboard exhibits this behavior. Sometimes simply turning the unit on and off gets it working, sometimes just starting up the driver again gets it working (even though it already says it is enabled), while other times nothing helps but a soft reset. I'm gonna try disabling journal bar; it's the only program that activates every so often on my Ipaq, but I don't know if it is the problem.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

Okay, I don't know if anyone really cares, but I have found the bug.

There is a Today screen setting under Today-> Items which pops up the Today screen every so many hours. The default is 4 hours. Whenever this setting kicks in and the Today screen pops up, the keyboard becomes disabled, despite the fact that the driver turns on. This occurs in both PPC 2002 and PPC 2003. Simply turn this setting off, and the keyboard won't fail.

Hopefully this can help someone else out.
