So I've loaded Windows Mobile on a PDA I had lying around. After doing this I've encountered the two following problems.

1) My PDA was no longer usable by Active Sync 3.8.
Well, I searched the web and found Active Sync 4.0. After installing Active Sync 4.0 my PDA was not even issuing a device insertion even to Windows XP. This was a step backwards! So I uninstalled Active Sync all together and reinstalled it. However, I had the same results.

2) The file save dialog brought up by GetSaveFileName has some new behavior. Previously, the return key on the on-screen keyboard would trigger the Okay button. Now it just issues a little error noise. Of course, you can still hit the OK button, but when your program is in Landscape mode, the OK button is obstructed by the keyboard GUMP. A lot of people don't know you can hit the little keyboard icon down below and toggle the appearance of the keyboard GUMP.

Has anyone else gotten this far and worked around these problems?

Thanks!

Bobby
