another tip to speed up your universal

[balzer1]

just uncheck 'receive all incoming beams' and check 'disable error reporting' in settings. This may be old news (but new to me ) and definitely increases responsiveness in my mda pro.

It does mean however that you cant receive incoming bluetooth files and IR files, not a problem for most, but just be aware.

As for the error reporting, It worries me that wm2k5 is so poor you NEED to report all the crashes to M$.

I see a raft of rom updates coming people.

It might be obvious but for some reason my Exec had stopped receiving bluetooth files from the Mac. I couldn't work out why I was now getting 'service not supported'. I had turned off 'receive incoming beams' stupidly thinking that meant IRDA only. :)

I read somewhere that it was a (token) effort by Microsoft to address concerns WM2003SE users had regarding their poor support.

Let's face it, error reporting in full Windows versions didn't seem to make much of a difference to their support structure, so it's doubtful that it'll be much better where WM5 is concerned. But they can cover themselves now by saying "we were trying. Look, we introduced error reporting..."

sub69, oh yes they do... MS will not be where they are now if they did not address the issues, its just that they are bl**dy expensive... Bill Gates being found fooling around with firefox, then a few weeks later tabular browsing introduced in IE... what u don't get from MS is the high visibility of what they are doing, they are a cathedral don't forget...

Error reporting should stay on at every ones PDA,
at least for the first month (thats when you install all the proggs and get most of the error msgs).

after that - uncheck that option.
otherwise - how will they release better rom updates?
