I have a strange behaviour of my P3600.
I tried some tricks, using either Total Commander or PHM regedit, for instance to display both time and date on the upper right corner.
I make the changes but after doing a soft reset (button at the bottom near usb & IR), nothing happens...

and actually when I check the registry, my modifications just disappeared !?

does anybody experiments the same problem? any solution?

thx for any help

I've experienced this once after editing registry with Resco Reg Editor. After several times of trying, I realised I had to exit out of the application, i.e. shut it down completely not just minimising it, before the new settings are saved.

Again, thats with Resco, not sure about other reg edit apps, may have a similar issue, you never know.

Hope that helps.

It happens with TyTn too. So it's kind of how the RegEdit programs write the Registry when exiting. I was surprised at first, but noticed you have to try several times.....
Buggy but it works.
