I am unable to adjust the backlight. It is greyed out all of the time. What's wrong????

Verify that you have the proc set to auto and you have the screen set to dim (both on and off AC power) after XX number of minutes. Then do a soft reset.

Do you have any today screen plug ins runnings? Any other apps running in the background?

Let us know if it still is unavailable.

I am really confused. What is proc and where can I find the option to adjust the dim?
When I go to setting and look at brightness is say "Property Sheet Demo"

I have dashboard, wizbar 1.3.2.2, battery pack pro.

Did you get an answer - I amunable to adjust my backlight on my Ipaq 2210 it's grey'd out.

Unfortunately, no. I can not figure out what program is causing this. I will probably have to reformat to fix it and for now, I don't have the time to do that.

I have the same problem - I installed a program in "Today" - now uninstalled it but still can't access brightness control (greyed out) is there a registry fix that someone out there knows about. I don;t really want to hard reset, I've just got everything working the way I like it.

I found a registry edit program and edited as follow (Brackets are decimal other number is hex) good luck people.

Search [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight] and edit as follows:-

"OnOffBatt"=dword:00000001
"OnOffAC"=dword:00000001
"ACTimeout"=dword:00000000
"ACTimeoutUnchecked"=dword:00000000
"ACBacklightOnTap"=dword:00000001
"BatteryTimeout"=dword:0000001E (30)
"BatteryTimeoutUnchecked"=dword:00000000
"BacklightOnTap"=dword:00000001
"ACBrightNess"=dword:00000032 (50)
"BrightNess"=dword:0000002E (46)
"AutoMode"=dword:00000000
"MaxBrightness"=dword:00000040 (64)

Believe it or not I think that is the perfect time to perform a 'hard reset'

The reason being is that in most programmes you can save your individual settings to files (obviously I mean for those programmes for those that you want to keep).

So save your settings, perform a hard reset, install only the programmes you want to use going forward then apply their settings files.

After that perform a full back-up, then sync to Desktop Outlook and away you go.

BTW - The reason I sync to Outlook AFTER I have installed all the programmes is that this then becomes my base system - which is easy to restore, PIM data changes and can always be sync'd to the information in Desktop Outlook afterwards


(As I have Sprite Premium I also have an automatic back-up regime for all my data if my iPaq happens to 'go wrong' during the day).
