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??

where is MS Reader installed? you will get this message if it is on an SD card or BIS. re-install it in main memory, then re-locate the folder after activation. that should do it (it will also fix the font problem, if you are having it...) :approve:
