I keep seeing this software mentioned, but I don't exactly see the point of it. To soft reset, just press the button on the back. How hard is that? And what is the point of Shutdown?

yes but you may have to take your axim out of the case to do that

I actually love this program. I use a rhinoskin case. While it is not dificult to remove it from the case to soft reset, it is much more convenient just to push a button on the desktop.

The chance on a mechanical defect(reset button):rolling:

Thereby. This app has does more

#

Description:
With psShutXP for Pocket PCs you can easily control power and display of your PDA. Unlike other similar utilities psShutXP covers all power functions:

# Soft Reset;
# Shutdown;
# Display switch Off/On (You can bind it to any hardware key);
# Password lock;
# You can also schedule all these functions using timer dialog;

Extra, nice but not necessary

# Icon in "Today" screen in the tray for quick access
# Microsoft Windows XP-style main dialog with gray background and shadow;
# Program is very small, only 35 Kb;
# look for and apply funny skins for psShutXP or create new one;
# for advanced users psShutXP has a hidden function: hard reset with double confirmation;
# Also we have special version for WM2003SE that supports VGA screen.

I too love the app. I figure the less I have to physically push the Power button, the longer my Axim should last.

I might see your point, but I'm still skeptical of the whole app.

RE: Soft resets. Even though it isn't that difficult to pull your Axim out of the case, I can see where it is a little more convenient.

I suppose I'll install it and give it a try.

Just wait until those little black rubber feet start peeling away from the case, then you'll feel differently.

Two things to like about it: 1) It's free, and 2) It's a lot easier than reaching around and pushing into that hole for a soft-reset. Plus, as others have noted, it saves your system a little wear and tear pulling it out of and pushing it back into a case.

My X50V can be reset without removing it from the Innopocket Magnum case because there is a hole in the back of the case for this purpose.

Also, iLauncher V3 provides a software interface.

If you have neither of these, PSsutXP might just fit the bill for you.

Anybody tried on X51v/A12. When I tried to install it is saying the installation is not successful. I tried few times and gave it up.

Yes, I have it working on X51v with ROM A12. It's been a while since I installed it but I don't remember doing anything special. I do vaguely remember needing to get the latest version when I first installed it (on my original ROM) because an earlier version did not install.

Get the latest VGA version for WM2003SE - it worked for me.

I have X51v w/ A12 ROM and have not had any trouble with it. Make sure it is installed in main memory.

yea, I downloaded the VGA version (psshutxp_eng_vga.xscale.cab) and when I click it in the explorer of my Axim, it is saying "Installation of psshutxp_eng_vga.xscale.cab was unsuccessful". Not even showing the option where to install. :(

any thoughts?

Ravi.
