    pocket PC screen rotate program?

    There are two programs that I know of that do (or used to do, at least) this. It has been a pretty long time since I've used them, so they may not work with that program. DotPocket will flip it into landscape, and also has a nice desktop remote feature. NYDITOT's virtual display will...

    gps for pocket pc

    I think iGuidance works well with VGA, since it has two seperate executables that autodetect what kind of screen you have. A nice bonus with that program is that it runs on a laptop as well. I haven't used it on my hx4700, but it is pretty nice on my Toshoba e755. I am sure that it is...

    gps for pocket pc

    I've got an hx4700, too. I have a few GPS receivers, but my favorite one for now is the one that came with Microsoft's Streets & Trips 2005. If they still sell the setup, you can get a pretty darn versatile receiver (equivilant to a Pharos 360) for a pretty reasonable price. I bought the...

    Toshiba 16 mb cache hdd

    I've had the Toshiba 7200 16Mb drive for a few months. It's pretty nice, but I don't have anything to benchmark it against. I haven't been annoyed by any loading times, so I guess it's okay.

    Doom3 on a Laptop

    Doom plays okay on my 6805. There is a bit of tearing, and Far Cry has better performance. I've quit playing tonight, because it's dark and I'm getting scared. It's been a while since a game has got my heart rate up so high...

    New HDD / Ghost Problem

    I spent a long time trying to do the exact same thing with an emachines and never got it to work. I wasted many hours that night. Finally I tried Partition Magic, and it worked the first time. I cloned about 40 Gigs, too. The only tricky part was that the new drive was smaller than the old...

    can i somehow attatch a hard drive to a PDA?

    Not that I would recommend Toshiba PDA's to anybody, but I use have my old 4200 RPM drive from my emachines laptop in a USB2 enclosure. I keep a pretty big collection of MP3's and maps for navigation software on it and it plugs into my Toshiba e755 with a $10.00 USB host cable that plugs into...

    5400 rpm with more ram or 7200 with no ram

    I've got an eMachines 6805 and so does a guy that I work with. We were both planning on upgrading both and each of us tried to see which one made more of a difference. My friend bought a hard drive and I purchased a 512 stick of RAM. We installed the same game (Far Cry) and started...

    synchronizing all emails in outlook to pocket PC?

    If you right-click your Inbox entry in Activesync it will display a settings entry in a pop-up menu. Click on that and you have an option for setting a time limit for synchronizing messages. Default setting is to ignore messages over five days old.

    Cheapest 7200 RPM laptop drive?

    Here's where I picked up mine. No problem at all with the transaction. It doesn't run hot; not any more so than the original drive.

    FAQ for Emachines M6805

    Actually, on the 6805 it is easier to swap the CDROM drive than it is to swap the hard drive. There are five screws you have to remove to get the hard drive out; only two for the CDROM. Eject the drive (so you have something to hold on to), unscrew the two screws on the bottom and the drive...

    Emachines M6809... sparks and pictures "Fire Plug"

    I can't tell from the angle on the picture, but does the metal come out flush to the opening, or are they inside the jack like mine?. If I look at mine from the same angle, it looks the same and I know that there's nothing wrong with my jack. On mine there are three chassis pins that come out...
