The PDA toy, 17 years old now, who uses something this old? in what country, DLS varies by country and state and the rules changed here, in 2005. (wiki it) it's winter here, in USA< so.. you are on other half of earth. (lower) most computers made for 42 years, , ALL use a RTC chip same chip as in a wrist watch( close to same, very close) this chip does all that magic even to the level of a perpetual calendar ! wiki that.? so the BIOS can set (all real PCs) all that and the OS too. when you change the OS time and date it then goes to the BIOS RTC page and changes it there so they are in sync. they Sync, up, I do not know where Any OS stores time, after all it be different in all 100's of OS made, and your old relic PDA , gawd knows. your manual for Jornada tells you on PAGE 13, when you reset the Jornada, or or run it the first time, it asks for time city and time zone. what makes you think this toy device even does daylight saving time, (it have to do every city on earth to do that , no easy thing) on a real computer here, we can set our clock to WWV time. via the WWV or WWVH, radio site, here, "atomic time" then it sets you per the daylight savings (bit set selection) That is how it works best on a real PC. or notebook. maybe your Toy PDA is set this way (page 101) Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop PC with information in Pocket Outlook on your hp Jornada." but wait MS shut all that down long ago...... I googled for you and found very little on the RTC functions of you PDA. (but it is too old now, really) the manual only has very little on topic, (so is limited in features) http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/bpia2371.pdf my guess is you are looking for something that DOES NOT EXIST. seem so, no? not in the official book HP forum zero hits. google zero hits. last Jornada sold on ebay for $5 ,gets you 7 of them, 71cents (USD) each, less than 1 PEACH, here they are not considered here, just trash.

Go back to former wmp.

why not ask at HP.com the maker why flash it at all?, if it works or did, why do that? why risk a bad burn and bricking any PC. link 4 here "forum" "http://pcdied.com/index.html#HP_help

It's built into the system...

No, that "pop" is not normal after every sound.

All you have to do: Select Device Manager, select "Universal Serial Bus controlled". Re-install the USB driver from Active-Sync CD. That's it.

Weird! I would try an alternative Windows CE MP3 player such as Xaudio or PalmPlayer to see if they do the same thing. I have trouble believing it's hardware related because AFAIK the MP3 decoding is all done in software, but I guess it's possible.

I have had this happen to me at work. You need to backup your Jornada on the computer that works to sync (VERY IMPORTANT) and then hard reset the Jornada (which wipes it clean). Make sure that you put the name back into the Jornada identification (it will be wiped out by the hard reset). Then try to synch on the computer that can't synch except as Guest now. It should sync fine. Then you will need to sync on the computer that works to sync to restore the backup file. Then you will be back to normal. It is a pain. I don't know why it happens but I know this solution worked for me. Let us know if it works for you.

Maybe i should help, because i was solving similar problem with C-Series handheld from Compaq, which is almost the same. I am using Active sync 3.0 as the newer versions didnt work properly and i got no problem...

Hi, You need "localization" software: it translates system commands as well as provides virtual keybord layout, handwriting recognition. I am using PenReader and Polish Localization done by Paragon Software ( avaliable on Handango) ; they have Spanish version as well. Thaer are other companies which do same sort of software.

Start, Settings, Control Panel, Folder Options, see if you have the correct settings. Make sure the user ID is the same as you signed up with. Check to see if you are using the right password. Who do you currently have internet service with. Call them and have them go thru with you your settings. What version of IE do you have? You might want to update. Also did you recently download and install anything. If you downloaded anything from RealNetworks it will mess up your settings because they change some things so that they can access your computer anytime you are on the web. If you have firewall see if it is stopping access.

Maybe he's using ClearType and you aren't?

The Jornada 568 has its OS in masked ROM. There is not an upgrade available.

I have a Jornada 568 but I've never seen the behaviour you describe. Is it possible that you damaged or caught a small part when you installed the new battery? Your new battery, was that the small round battery or a battery pack on the back of the unit. "Resetting to Factory defaults" suggests that there is no power at all, doesn't it? If the small round watch battery is dead then that might effect the clock.

I have been using ActiveSync for several years now. From time to time I upgrade to the latest available version that I can find on the Microsoft website. I have been using version 3.8 for several months without major problems. So I can recommend for you to install version 3.8.
