Problem Sending Movies to the 'Ol Paq

[Village_Ideot]

Yeah, i encoded a jackass video for my ppc.  It is 38 mb, and i have 64 mb of ram on my h3670.  So anyway:<br><br>How am I supposed to alot more memory to storage?  When I grab the memory slider, it automatically goes back to the center.  When it stays where i want it to, i have about 50 mb dedicated to storage.  I copy the video over, and it will transfer about 34mb of it, then say there isn't enough space, and it deletes itself from my ipaq.  I don't have anything else installed or taking up space either.<br><br>And now that I got my paq back from compaq (whoah read that sentence aloud) the cradle sometimes fails to recognize that it is there which REALLY sucks.

get a flash reader, i understand its more convenient or something.

[Village_Ideot]

erm, what is a flash reader anbd where can i get one?

[Paul]

oh, i thought you said you were using a card... cant you just keep dragging the slider over as its copying the file? or zip it up, get one of those zip programs for pocket pc.

[Village_Ideot]

so no one knows why it says not enough memory when it is at the 34th mb even though i have 50 mb devoted to storage???

[jongjungbu]

I dunno. maybe WinCE is allocating/adjusting memory dynamically regardless of your changes.

[Matt Keys]

Ive had this problem before, WinCE likes to keep so much room for itself. I know it told you that you had 50mb storage. But whatch what happens when you close it and re-open it. It will be back to the middle. You best bet is to keep moving the slider closer to the middle until it stops adjusting your space by itself.

[Paul]

thats what i told him to do but apparently it doesnt work.

[Village_Ideot]

so there isn't any kind of fix or anything?  Why would they have the allocate memory feature if after you do it, it just sends the slider back to the middle...

[jongjungbu]

Because Microsoft wants you to think you have control when really they do.<br>Ya know Bill Gates lost a net worth of 7.X billion dollars this week due to the market losses.

[Luciano U. Werner]

I have a 3670 and I can keep the slider wherever I want (within the blue part, of course) and it stays there.

[Village_Ideot]

Do you have the latest ROM update?  should i get it?

[Luciano U. Werner]

Mine is ROM 1.77. If I'm not mistaken, you bought your iPAQ the same time i bought mine (july), so you should have the same ROM I have (I didn't need to upgrade).

[Village_Ideot]

ahh, i have 1.76

[Paul]

except they're two completely different numbers...
