Ipaq 4700 locked up. Won't boot after installing keyboard driver
I bought the Thinkoutside Bluetooth Keyboard. I am using it with a Ipaq 4700. First, I installed the driver on the SD Card. When booting it said it didn't find 'keyboard'. I believe the driver didn't install correctly and it was looking for part of the driver. Then I uninstalled it thinking maybe it has to be in the main memory. I reinstalled it then installing the driver to main memory. Now when I boot my ipaq it gets stuck on the HP Ipaq Pocket PC screen where it has the bar going across as the software is loading and it does nothing. I don't want to have to do a hard reset since I would then have to reinstall all programs. I have tried several soft resets as well as removing the battery for around 5 minutes with no luck so I'm completely lokced out. I don't understand how the driver could do this. I thought maybe it's a space issue. It just doens't seem that HP would make something like this where if you fill memory up you're locked out with no warning or way to fix it. As well, I had around 12 megs free if I remember right and I don't think the driver would fill this up. Any ideas of what I can do to fix this?

Mark,

I had this exact same issue with the Stowaway Keyboard Bluetooth driver. I must have done over 20 soft resets before it "finally" brought me to the keyboard config screen.

I have since downloaded the new driver off of their website. It reflashed my keyboard to a new firmware level before it installed and I have not had any issues since.

I am not sure if this will work for you but I would exhaust my patience on soft resets before I do a hard reset.
