Hi. I just got an axim x30 mid a couple of weeks ago. I installed MS Reader to the main memory, but decided to move it to my sd card. I uninstalled it from the main memory, and installed it again in my sd card. But if i go to the start menu, the microsoft reader shortcut icon is not an "r" but rather an empty white box. When i click it, it says "cannot find 'msreader...'". It is obviously still linking it too the old reader in the main memory that no longer exists. When i try and remove it from the menu, Start>settings>menus, and uncheck microsoft reader, it says "Unable to move that item". Help!

Thanks a lot. And sorry for the huge block of text.

Hey, I had that same problem. It seems as though MS Reader doesn't like to be put on a card. I still have it located on my card, I just had to go in and fix the shortcuts. It astounds me that Microsoft can't get that right, when every other third party app can. At any rate, in order to fix your shortcuts, explore to the start menu...its in Windows\Start Menu. Then delete your old short cut to Msreader. Now, navigate to your card. Right click on the reader EXE and click on "Copy." Navigate back to the start menu folder, and right click and click "paste shortcut." This should leave a shortcut with a name of "Shortcut to Msreader.exe" or something similar. Feel free to rename it. When you get back to the start menu, the icon should no be properly displayed, and you should be able to launch the program using it. Hope this helps!
