Hi,
I too was getting too annoyed with WM5. Waited sooooo long for the disk and then is crunches my system down to a crawl, introduces debilitating AS errors, and multiple other bugs now well documented in forums like this one. I tried all the workarounds, hacks, and registry edits that people have posted but with no real success in making my Axim as usefull as it was with WM2003. So I jumped ship. :bang:
Now - on to your question (:soap: sorry for the rant -- it's been a very frustrating week trying to live with WM5 -- it seems Dell released it before it was 'fully cooked.')
I downloaded the R111630 file, unpacked it to c://dell/drivers and then from there had to manually run the Axim Update application. the instructions on the website say a html window should popup automatically to start but on my PC it didn't so I had to search for it. Once I started running the update (revert) program, the rest was self explanatory.
Good luck with your revert. I think I'll wait until at least WM5 A02 patch. Maybe by then they'll have the push-email feature enabled too! :approve:
