just wondering if anybody else on here has has similar issues with upgrading their ipaqs to WM2005?
i bought the WM2003SE to WM2005 update from hp's site as i wanted to make use of the persistant memory feature of the new system. i knew about the pitfalls of slightly slower speed, but was happy with the trade off.
sooooo i got the software and updated the ipaq....... first thing i noticed was that it was very slow at bootup, but as im not constantly restarting the thing, it wouldnt be an issue. but it got worse from there, even with a clean system, the smallest of tasks took an age to do, for example PIE took about 50secs to load. and the ipaq was constantly hanging it made it totally unusable.
after doing a search on the HP forums, i found that i wasnt alone with my probs with the update, most of the posts i found ended with people reverting to 2003SE via the included downgrade
as i got this via digital download, i strongly suspect that i have lost the money that i paid for the software, although i believe that i have been sold a product that is unstable and causes problems with the ipaq which it was intended for. fwiw, hp have responded very quickly to all my emails about this and have offered solutions (all of which havent worked)
ooooo, just realised how long this post got....... :roll:
