Home / Web Pads / Epods One General Post IE4 upgrade

IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) crunch Profile I did the IE4 upgrade according to the instructions on Randy's site. It says to do a soft reboot after copying the files to appropriate directory (in my case Win_CEfiles\ifc). However, I didn't notice any changes in IE so what I did was a hard-reboot and re-imported the ie reg. This seems to have fixed the problem. Isn't a hard reboot required to copy the files over in the Windows directory? BTW this is my first post and I want to thank those who have made hacking the epods so easy! 01-21-2001 19:27:45

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) sphiend I did that upgrade today also. It was seemingly the same after the soft reboot. So, I did a hard reset (knowing I would lose everything since the V2 upgrade.. which wasn't much). Turns out, it went back to the white screen.. had to reimport the v2 hack registry again, had to reimport the ie4 reg hack.. did a soft reboot. made the reg mods for the cursor (though I updated the reg in the /ifc dir to reflect that mod).. then ie4 seemed to look a bit different.. Yes, I probably could have just copied the files over to the windows directy also and soft reboot but I've never been one to do things the easy way... I was not sure how to tell if it was truely ie4 other than looking at the file size in the windows directory. Since the file size is the same as the update, I assume its correct. It seems to work well regardless. -sphiend -sphiend 01-21-2001 20:24:24

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) crunch Profile I noticed that the spinning "E" logo was located on the web page viewing area in v3 whereas the logo in v4 is right in the menu bar area... 01-21-2001 21:20:18

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) nykr95 Smakz, Is there any way to Java working or is there another CE browser that has it? I hit many sites which kill the functionality - not to mention aol mail. Steve 03-03-2001 03:00:14

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) Smakz Profile nukem: what problem pasting? nykr95: no, no java integrated in CE. Sorry. 03-03-2001 15:55:03

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) FDAMAN SMAKZ - Have you had a chance to work on the IE4 fix for the bookmarks? The wife stole my Epods for her very own (she said I have enough computers and it was cute...) and is hounding me to fix it! Any help would be appreciated - thanks! FDA 03-07-2001 07:29:22

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) profeign Has anyone tried making a shortcut to a website? You can do this on a Win9x/00 by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting new>>shortcut and typing in the web address. Copy this shortcut via active sync or CF. This works after you assign iexplore.exe to the filetype ".url" and even though it says that you can't select "don't ask for this type of file" it won't ask again, at least mine didn't. If for some reason this doesn't work, just enter the URLs you want to shortcut to in the "Run..." prompt and you will always be able to select them from the drop down list and have single click access to them. I know this isn't as nice as 'Favorites' but it gets the job done. mailto:profeign@hotmail.com 03-07-2001 15:00:18

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) Bourbaki I just have a very simple html page which I edit in PocketWord with the links I want... It's a little more tedious than "bookmarking" but then I don't bookmark a ton of pages every day either... 03-07-2001 15:22:45

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) Smakz Profile Nope, not yet, sorry for the delays. Work has pretty much taken over my life right now, and im leaving for a 4 week trip out of the country at the end of next week.. Ill see what I can do before that. 03-08-2001 09:29:04

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) PodPeople Smakz, can you describe what is "wrong" with the bookmarks now? Is it a file location or permissions issue? 03-08-2001 21:32:07

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) Smakz Profile Probolem 1: they're not in the ie4 menus yet Problem 2: registry key is preventing them from launching correctly. 03-09-2001 09:31:04

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) sadlerjon Smakz - I went surfing to find more info re: favorites, and found the following web page at Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/internetappliances/whichie.asp which seems to say that the GENIE release of IE4 requires an OEM supplied app. to do favorites. Is this what you are currently working on? 03-10-2001 21:51:20

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) Smakz Profile Yup 03-13-2001 09:01:14

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) FDAMAN Smakz- Anything to report?...just hoping for a fix soon...thanks... FDA 03-18-2001 12:19:18

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) Smakz Profile Nope. Sorry. I might just release the sources to someone, I just dont have time right now to finish this. I leave for Everest in 5 days, and, just slammed at work. 03-19-2001 09:44:41

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) C=64 Not that this is a solution to fix IE 4, but this may be useful: http://www.conduits.com/ce/browser/ It's conduit's PocketBrowser. It's basically a dolled-up IE 4 with *working* favorites. However, it ain't freeware - it's a demo that'll run ~50 times, and then needs to be registered. The registeration seems reasonable ($19.95), but I'd much perfer a free solution. Personally, I'm holding off till I can get a'hold of Win2k Server and can see what Terminal Server can do for me... 03-19-2001 15:41:38

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) PocketSNES If you want to release the sources, I'll host them on a webpage for people to download and/or colloborate. Email me at darren@pocketsnes.com. 03-19-2001 16:58:18

RE:IE4 upgrade (modified 0 times) Glitch Profile C=64: Did you do anything special to get Conduits Pocket Browser to run? I keep getting a HttpQueryInfo 122 error. I've tried several versions and methods (direct, proxy) but can't connect to any websites. Glitch Electronics run on smoke, if you let the smoke out they won't work 03-19-2001 20:56:33
