MS Reader 2.4.1 - how to run???

AximBob37 · 11-05-06, 11:46 AM

Hello,

I installed and activated MS Reader 2.4.1 on my Axim X51v (ROM A04), installed to the device. MS Reader does not show up in the Programs list. I can browse to its exe file and start it manually and it seems to run. I also had to manually associate lit files to the reader and manually create the My Library folder. I copied some free eBooks there, like the Encarta pocket dictionary and it seems to work, but all in all everything is a bit weird. Can anyone tell me what gives? How am I supposed to start this app normally?

Thanks, Bob

Browse to the exe and copy it, then go Windows/Start Menu/Programs and then Paste Shortcut. The Microsoft Reader Icon should show up in Programs.

Thanks, I saw that Microsoft Reader.lnk was in a Start Menu folder rather than in Startmenü (I have German WM5): I had installed the English version not suspecting that MS also does things normally only expected from a two-bit software house - using hard-coded folder names rather than system variables. :-)
