I have been using MS Reader for a while now on the x50v, using the four activation files that were done for my old Ipaq. I bought a new book and it wants a fresh activation, so I went to the microsoft/reader/activation site, logged in, and hit the "activate pocket pc" button. That resulted in an "Activation Error" - "You have an older version of Pocket PC which does not support Activation. Activation requires Pocket PC 2002 or later." The Dell Chat guy was worse than useless with a lack of knowledge and bad advice, but the lady on the phone at least asked for a hard reset and reload of Reader (even she wasn't bright enough to remind me to do a backup before the hard reset - which I'd already done). New Reader, raw (reset) x50v, same error from MS.

Any idea why the newest PPC on the market gives that error?? Any solutions? Anybody have four new activation files (secrep.*) that they would email me??
