Ipaq upgrade - PPC 2000 to PPC 2002

[sybaseian]

Has anyone got or can copy the upgrade CD-ROM. If you live in the US please e-mail me as this is only available from the HP/Compaq website if you are a US resident - I'm willing to pay your costs if you purchase it for me.

Thanks,

Ian

The PPC 2002 upgrade is notorious for causing problems. Stick with 2000.

If you really want this it's available on Kazaa (about 42Mb) or you could put a request onto alt.binaries.warez.pocketpc.

I don't like Kazaa or Grockster as they put too much spyware and ad-serverware on your PC that require a full re-format of the hard-drive and re-installation of software to remove the bu99ers - I have found a much better way, but unfortunately it's not on there - bittorrents. It's great for downloading TV programms like '24', etc and Movies (Not that I advocate it in anyway).

Kazaa lite has all the spyware and crap removed.

Ian,

Kazaa Lite has no kind of spyware, adware, trojans, viruses as per above post

Sounds like you've been listening to too many scare stories
Agreed. the full version of Kazaa used to have spyware in there, but getting rid of it hardly required a reformat of the hard drive


The downgrade (sorry, upgrade ) to 2002 was only out for a few months, then withdrawn. The philosophy of this was simply that they'd rather you spend £400 - £500 on a new PocketPC rather than £30 on a simple upgrade. Nice eh!

You're unlikely to get someone to post a cd from the US so why not just download it and send a cheque for £30 to Microsoft

I installed Kazaa last week and it installed an blood awful piece of software - I have ad-aware installed which picked up the ad-server program and removed it. The only problem was that the ad-server program would re-install itself everytime I re-booted. I tracked down the program after a bit of digging, but could not remove the bloody thing as it had changed the permissions for it (yes I have admin privs). I'm running XP Pro and even tried to go back to an earlier restore point, but it would only let me go back to when Kazaa was installed!

In the end I re-installed XP, plus all my back-ups. It was a pain in the preverbial, but at least always having backups means I didn't loose any of my e-mails, etc.

By the way, I've decided against upgrading after reading that the upgrade CD wasn't a full version of PPC 2002, with quite a few things missing and being more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks for the responces........
