  • Microsoft Windows CE Services 2.2

This article was previously published under Q195513

SUMMARY

This article contains a copy of the information in the Readme.txt file included on the Windows CE version 2.2 CD-ROM (part 2 of 2).

MORE INFORMATION

 - Deleting messages from your Inbox on your desktop computer or device
while you are synchronizing can sometimes cause messages to become
"stuck" in your Deleted Items folder. If your synchronization status
reports one or more items out of date despite repeated efforts to
synchronize, follow these steps to correct the problem:


1.   On the device, move the items from the Deleted Items folder to the
Inbox folder.
2.   On the device, create a new folder.
3.   On the device, move the items that you undeleted in Step 1 from the
Inbox folder to the new folder.
4.   Synchronize the device with the desktop PC.
________________________________________________________________
3.5 NOTE TAKER

 - Removing a storage card with a note open can cause data loss. Do not
remove a storage card when a note stored on this card is currently open.

 - The Note Taker application main window list view does not refresh
automatically when adding and/or removing notes using the Mobile Devices
folder on the desktop. To refresh your file list, switch to a different
application on the Palm-size PC and back to Note Taker.

 - To distinguish between a template saved on a storage card and one
saved in storage (main) memory, look for an asterisk at the end of the
template's name. Any template with an asterisk at the end of the name is
saved on a storage card.
________________________________________________________________
3.6 VOICE RECORDER

 - The Desktop Mobile Voice CODEC does not convert to PCM format if the
voice recording is less than two seconds in duration. For example, if you
have a voice recording that you wish to send to someone who does not have
the Mobile Voice CODEC installed on their desktop machine, make sure that
the recording is more than 2 seconds in duration before converting it to
PCM.

 - The Voice Recorder application main window list view does not refresh
automatically when adding and/or removing notes using the Mobile Devices
folder on the desktop. To refresh your file list, switch to a different
application on the Palm-size PC and back to Voice Recorder.

 - Running processor-intensive applications may interfere with recording.
This includes functionality such as a modem, such that on most devices,
you will not be able to record while using the modem.

1.   Install Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0a
2.   Install Microsoft Windows CE Services
3.   Optional Components

Click each of these buttons in this order unless you do not need to
install a component. If your desktop computer does not need a component,
the message "Already installed or not required" is displayed below that
component. Follow the instructions to complete the installation of each
component.

NOTE: During setup, you may be asked to restart your desktop computer.
After your computer finishes restarting, reinsert the CD-ROM and continue
with the remaining Setup components.
_______________________________________________________________
4.4 WINDOWS CE SERVICES SETUP ERRORS

 - If you encounter any errors during Windows CE Services Setup, Windows
CE Services Help can assist you in finding the solution to the problem.
To use Windows CE Services Help, open the Mobile Devices folder by double-
clicking the My Computer icon on your desktop and then double-clicking
the Mobile Devices icon.  From the Mobile Devices window, click
Communications Troubleshooter on the Help menu.  You can also access Help
by clicking Start, Programs, Windows CE Services, and then Help.  The
Communications Troubleshooter Help topic provides assistance for most
commonly encountered setup and connection problems.  The General Tips
section at the bottom of this topic provides additional assistance for
less frequent problems.

 - If you cannot start Windows CE Services, reinstall Windows CE Services
by  following the steps in the "Installing Windows CE Services" section
of this file.

 - When replacing Mapi32 during Windows CE Services setup, you may be
warned that the currently installed Mapi32.dll will be replaced with an
earlier version. If you see this message, keep the newer version of
Mapi32.dll.

If you do not have the newer version of Mapi32.dll, you may have
difficulty using Schedule+ for group scheduling. If you are having
problems with group scheduling and if you did not keep the newer version
of Mapi32.dll during setup, you need to reinstall the Microsoft Exchange
Update. Instructions for doing so can be found in the "Removing or
Reinstalling Schedule+ or Microsoft Exchange Update" section of this
file.

NOTE: Reinstalling the Microsoft Exchange Update may lead to the
"Reg32.cfg" problem described in the "Synchronization" section. If it
does, reinstall Schedule+ 7.0a after reinstalling the Microsoft Exchange
Update to fix the problem.
_______________________________________________________________
4.5 OPTIONAL COMPONENTS

 - The Optional Components directory on your installation CD contains
several additional components that may be of interest to you.  For
example, the Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking Upgrade can be installed if
you need to support direct modem connections to your desktop computer
from your mobile device.  The Windows 95 Infrared Support directory
contains software to support infrared connectivity on your desktop
computer.  Consult the Readme or Release Note information in each
Optional Component directory for details on the features and issues of
each component.

 - Microsoft Windows 95 Infrared Support Software
If you install Windows CE Services via a network connection to a shared
CD-ROM drive and then install the Windows 95 Infrared Support software
contained in Optional Components, Setup will alert you that the file
Infrared.inf could not be opened. The workaround is to copy the Microsoft
Windows 95 Infrared Support Software directory to your hard drive and
install it from there.  NOTE: Infrared support for Windows NT is not
available.

 - Microsoft Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.2
You may need to install the Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.2 if you are a
Windows 95 user and want to establish an outbound dial-up networking
connection (such as a connection to your Internet service provider or
corporate network) while device connections are enabled on your computer,
or if you want to use a modem connected to your desktop computer for
remote device connections.  Read the Readme file in the directory for
more information on the features and issues of this upgrade.

You should read the Dial-Up Networking 1.2 Release Notes.doc and About
PPTP and Dial-Up Networking 1.2.doc files in the \Windows directory after
installing the dial-up networking software. Certain software may need to
be reinstalled after upgrading dial-up networking, and these documents
describe the issues in greater detail.

If you install the Dial-Up Networking 1.2 Upgrade and lose network
connectivity, perform the following steps to correct the problem:

1.   In Network Control Panel, double-click TCP/IP -> Dial-Up Adapter.
2.   Click the Bindings tab.
3.   Select Client for Microsoft Networks.
4.   Click OK to all dialog boxes.

 - Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (Palm-size PC only)
The Mobile Channels feature on your Palm-size PC requires Internet
Explorer 4.0 or later with Active Desktop to perform Channel
synchronization with your desktop system.  If you do not already have
Internet Explorer 4.0 installed on your system, you should install it by
running Ie4setup.exe from the Optional Components directory on your
Windows CE Services CD before enabling Mobile Channel Synchronization.
See the "Internet Explorer 4.0 Issues" section for additional issues
related to this component.

 - Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 3
Service Pack 3 must be installed on Windows NT systems in some cases
after installation of Windows CE Services and also before installing
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.  The 40-bit encryption version
of this component is provided in the Optional Components directory of the
Windows CE Services CD.  Install this component by running Update.exe
located in the \I386 directory within the Microsoft Windows NT Service
Pack 3 folder in Optional Components.  See the "Internet Explorer 4.0
Issues" and "Windows NT Issues" sections for further information on this
component.
_______________________________________________________________
4.6 BACKUP/RESTORE

 - When restoring data that has been backed up using a Windows CE version
1.0 device to a Windows CE version 2.11 device, the device's memory
allocation may be set to a lower value. Immediately after the restore
process has completed, check the device's memory allocation:

1.   Tap Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2.   Double-tap System.
3.   Move the slider to allocate your Storage/Program memory to the
desired setting.

 - When restoring a backup file, ensure the device's Regional Setting is
the same as when the backup was performed or restore will fail.  This
setting is accessed in the Regional Settings in Settings >Control Panel.
If the restore setting is different from the backup setting, change it to
the backup setting and then restore.
_______________________________________________________________
4.7 SYNCHRONIZATION

 - If an error message states that Schedule+ cannot open the file
Req32.cfg, it is likely that you installed the Microsoft Exchange Update
after you installed Schedule+ 7.0a. To fix this problem, reinstall
Schedule+ 7.0a as described in this file.

 - When synchronizing appointments with Outlook, you may experience
duplicate appointments when in "continuous" synchronization mode and also
receiving mail via IMAP.  In this situation, if you receive a meeting
request and immediately open it and accept on the device, you may have
duplicate meetings, one that has been accepted and one that is tentative.
To avoid this problem you can:
a) Turn off continuous synchronization or IMAP so that they are not
running concurrently or
b) Change the default settings in Outlook so that tentative appointments
are not automatically created in the calendar when a meeting request is
received. To change this setting in Outlook:
 - In Outlook, click Tools, then Options.
 - Click Email Options, then: Advanced E-mail Options.
 - Clear Process requests and responses on arrival.

 - See the "International Compatibility Issues" section if you are using
file synchronization between a device and Windows CE Services that are
not the same language or if you are having problems synchronizing
Japanese or Russian filenames on Windows NT systems.

 - If you see sync initialization error 8007000e when trying to enable
channel synchronization, you do not have Internet Explorer 4.0 installed
on your desktop computer.  See the "Optional Components" section for
details on installing Internet Explorer 4.0.

 - If you synchronize your device with Microsoft Outlook, and both
Microsoft Outlook and your device are set to a location in the Southern
Hemisphere, appointments may be displayed at incorrect times. This
problem will not occur if you are using Microsoft Outlook version 8.03 or
later.  Early versions of the Handheld PC may require a device update to
correct this problem.  Check with your device manufacturer for
availability of an update This issue was fixed in the Handheld PC Service
Pack 1, available from your device manufacturer.

 - Outlook 97 does not support the synchronization of the Euro currency
symbol. To synchronize using this symbol, you must upgrade from Outlook
97 to Outlook 98.

 - There is currently no converter available to convert Microsoft Pocket
Powerpoint (.ppv) files to Microsoft Powerpoint (.ppt) files when
synchronizing files from your mobile device to your desktop.  If you
synchronize Microsoft Powerpoint files using ActiveSync, you should back
up the original files before adding them to the Synchronized Files folder

 - You cannot synchronize Access MDB files or CDB files by placing them
in the Synchronized Files folder. The files will not be converted or
synchronized. To setup a synchronization partnership between MDB and CDB
files, you must place the file in a folder other than the Synchronized
Files folder.

 - Access MDB files or Pocket Access CDB files that are attached to a
message will not get converted when synchronizing your Inbox with your
desktop. Other file types do get converted to the appropriate format for
the target location.

 - MSN Mail Configuration with Outlook: If you are an existing MSN user
upgrading to MSN 2.5 or later, you will see an Import Wizard, designed to
import your Outlook mail, calendar, contact and task data to Outlook
Express. Do not complete this wizard; it will convert this data to a
format that cannot be synchronized with Windows CE Services 2.2. Instead,
exit the Import Wizard and manually configure your MSN account to use
Outlook.

Information on configuring Outlook 97 for MSN e-mail can be found at
http://memberservices.msn.com/supportandhelp/msnfaqs/faq/mail/Ol97.htm.
Information on configuring Outlook 98 for MSN e-mail can be found at
http://memberservices.msn.com/supportandhelp/msnfaqs/faq/mail/Ol98.htm.

 - When installing a mobile channel to your desktop computer, do not
change the name of the channel or synchronization may continue without
stopping.
_______________________________________________________________
4.8 INTERNET EXPLORER 4.0 ISSUES

 - If you are having difficulty copying folders or browsing the Mobile
Devices folder using Internet Explorer 4.0, you should open the Mobile
Devices folder using the shortcut on your desktop.  If the problem
persists, you may need to upgrade to a newer version of Internet Explorer
when it becomes available.

 - If your Mobile Devices folder does not properly display current device
status, you may need to select Refresh on the View menu.

 - If you install Internet Explorer 4.0 after you installed Windows CE
Services, you will find that the communications port you were using is
reported to be "not available."  Restarting the computer will solve this
problem.

 - If you are using Windows NT, you will need to install Windows CE
Services, any previously installed Service Pack, and Internet Explorer
4.0, in that order.
_______________________________________________________________
4.9 INTERNATIONAL COMPATIBILITY ISSUES

 - Some Optional Components may not support operation on non-U.S. English
versions of Windows.

 - Items saved to a storage card will not be visible on devices in other

languages. For example, if you save a voice recording on a storage card
in a French device, it will not be visible when the storage card is
inserted into a German device. To get to the file(s), connect the device
to a desktop computer using Windows CE Services, and look in the My
Documents folder in the proper language (e.g., "Eigene Dateien" in
German).

World Wide English (WWE) CD version
 - The WWE version of Microsoft Windows CE Services, Microsoft Schedule+
7.0a, and Microsoft Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.2 software
can operate on Western European versions of Microsoft Windows, but not on
Japanese versions of Windows.

 - WWE and Western European Windows CE-based mobile devices can be
connected to the WWE version of Windows CE Services, but not Japanese
version mobile devices.

 - The English version of the Microsoft Exchange Update can cause serious
problems if installed on non-U.S. English versions of Windows. Installing
this update on any installation of Windows 95 other than the U.S. English
version is not recommended or supported.

 - File synchronization cannot be automatically set up when you drag a
file from your desktop computer to a device of a different language from
Windows CE Services.  To set up synchronization for a file on the desktop
computer, drag the file to the Synchronized Files folder in the My
Documents directory on the device.  If the Synchronize File dialog box
appears, make sure that No, just copy these files is selected, Do not
display this message in the future is selected, and click OK.

Russian Character Support
 - The WWE version of Windows CE services can be operated on Russian
versions of Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0.  However, if your desktop
computer is using the US version of Windows NT 4.0, do not use Russian
characters to name folders and files on Windows CE devices if you
synchronize files to your desktop, as the contents of the folders and the
files themselves will not be synchronized properly. If your desktop
computer is running Russian Windows NT 4.0,  you should have no problem
synchronizing folders and files named using Russian characters.
 - Users should not use Russian characters in the subject line of e-mail
messages; these messages do not synchronize properly.

Western European CD versions
 - Western European versions of Microsoft Windows CE Services can operate
on WWE versions of Windows, but not on Japanese versions of Windows.

 - WWE and Western European Windows CE-based mobile devices can be
connected to Western European versions of Windows CE Services, but
Japanese version mobile devices cannot be connected.

 - During Windows CE Services setup, the Network Control Panel may not be
automatically dismissed. When you click OK to dismiss it, you will be
asked if you want to restart your computer. Clicking Yes may end Setup
prematurely.

 - File synchronization cannot be automatically set up when you drag a
file from your desktop computer to a device of a different language from
Windows CE Services.  To set up synchronization for a file on the desktop
computer, drag the file to the Synchronized Files folder in the My
Documents directory on the device.  If the Synchronize File dialog box
appears, make sure that No, just copy these files is selected, Do not
display this message in the future is selected, and click OK.

 - If you are synchronizing with the Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese (Brazil) versions of Schedule+, you will not be able to use the Windows
CE Services provided Advanced option to specify a specific .scd file to
synchronize with.  ActiveSync will synchronize with the Schedule+ file
specified by the profile in use at the time the partnership is created.
If you want to specify a specific Schedule+ file, you must install the
English version of Schedule+ or change the Schedule+ file specified by
your Schedule+ profile.

Japanese CD version
 - The Japanese version of Windows CE Services can operate only on a
Japanese version of Windows.

 - Only Japanese versions of Windows CE-based mobile devices can connect
to the Japanese version of Windows CE Services.

 - The following components are not provided on the Japanese version of
the Desktop Software for Windows CE CD-ROM:  Microsoft Schedule+,
Microsoft Exchange Update, and Microsoft Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking
Upgrade version 1.2.

 - File synchronization may not work properly on Windows NT systems for
Japanese filenames containing certain double-byte characters.  This
problem can be corrected by installing Windows NT Service Pack 3 onto
your desktop computer system.

 - If you are unable to successfully connect your device to the COM1
serial port on a Japanese version Windows 95 system running on slower PC
versions, try using the COM2 port.

It is strongly recommended that you use only the following characters
when entering a Device Name for your mobile device: the letters A-Z, the
numbers 0-9, and the hyphen [-].  If you enter other characters, such as
Kanji, wide English characters, etc., you will not be able to use
ActiveSync on your device to make remote connections via an Ethernet
Card.
_______________________________________________________________
4.10 CONNECTION

 - Windows 95 Dial-up Networking (DUN) limits the number of
inbound/outbound connections you can have concurrently on your system.
Unless you have installed the DUN 1.2 Upgrade, you are limited to one
connection, so you will not be able to make an outbound modem connection
if you have a mobile device connected and vice-versa.  With the DUN 1.2
Upgrade available on the Windows CE Services CD, you can have two
inbound/outbound connections, thus you can have a device connected and a
concurrent outbound modem connection.  Outbound Virtual Private Network
(PPTP) connections require two outbound dial-up connections, however, so
you will not be able concurrently connect a device and have a VPN
connection.  Windows CE Services allocates an inbound dial-up serial port
when  serial connections are enabled.  You can quickly disable/enable
serial connections from the File menu in the Mobile Devices folder to
free this port allocation for other uses.

 - If you have Internet auto-dial capability turned on while connecting a
handheld device to your desktop, it may cause the desktop to attempt a
dial-up connection via your modem when you connect your mobile device.
If this happens, open Internet in Control Panel, select the Connection
tab and disable the Auto Connect feature as follow.  If you are using
Internet Explorer version 3.x, clear the check box next to Connect to the
Internet as needed.  If you are using Internet Explorer 4.x, select
Connect to the Internet using a local area network.

 - Users wanting to establish an outbound dial-up networking connection,
such as a connection to your Internet service provider or corporate
network, while device connections are enabled on your computer, or
wanting to use a modem connected to your desktop computer for remote
device connections may need to do the following:
 - Windows 95:  You may need to install the Dial-Up Networking Upgrade
1.2.  See the "Optional Components" section for details.
 - Windows 98:  You will need to add a second dial-up adapter.  From the
Configuration tab of Network in Control Panel, click Add.  Double-click
Adapter in the Select Network Component list.  In the Manufacturers list
of the Select Network Adapters dialog box, select Microsoft, select Dial-
Up Adapter in the Network Adapters list, and click OK.  Repeat the steps
above and add the Microsoft virtual private network Adapter as well.
To add inbound modem capability, select Communications in the Windows
System tab of Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.  Click Details.
Select Dial-Up Server in the list, and click OK twice.
_______________________________________________________________
4.11 WINDOWS NT ISSUES AND TROUBLESHOOTING

 - You must be running Windows NT version 4.0 with Networking installed.
You cannot use this software with a beta release of Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows NT 3.51 or earlier.  Also, this version of Windows CE Services

4.12 CREATING DISKS

If you do not have a CD-ROM drive on the PC where you want to install
Windows CE Services, then locate another computer with a CD-ROM drive and
a 3.5" 1.44 MB drive. Use the following steps to create disks for
installation:

1.   Obtain enough blank, formatted 3.5" 1.44 MB disks to hold the
components you want to install.
2.   On the CD-ROM, open the Floppy directory.  The Floppy directory
contains several component folders, each containing one or more Disk
folders.  You will create one disk for each disk folder.  Label each disk
with the name of the component and the disk number.  For example, you
will label three disks with "Windows CE Services Disk 1" to Disk 3.
3.   On the CD-ROM, open the first component directory.  For example,
open Windows CE Services.
4.   Copy all of the files in each of the Disk directories (for example,
Disk1, Disk2, Disk3) to the corresponding disks you made in step 2.

NOTE: Do not copy the Disk1, Disk2, and Disk3 folders to the disks; copy
the files inside these folders to the disks.

5.   Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each component directory.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION OF ANY OF THESE COMPONENTS
UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE NEXT SECTION.

You have now copied all of the files necessary to complete the
installation of Windows CE Services and all other supporting components.
Proceed to the next section of this file to install Windows CE Services
from disks.
