Duplicated Odyssey client

MarcoX30 · 07-21-04, 01:18 PM

Upgrading the ROM adds the Odyssey client... but twice!!! I have a copy of it under /Windows directory, and another one in /Program FIles... And... well... It's taking 2.16 Megs of my precious Storage space!!! I just deleted the copy in Program Files, (the windows copy is in ROM so you can´t delete it) and now the shortcut in Settings is not working... but opening it from the windows dir directly works just fine!

Why is this being duplicated and copied in RAM??
Don't know!!!

What is the Odyssey client?

Nobody seem to have answer this question in detail yet. As far as I am concerned it is a software utility that runs jointly (you don't have to start it) with WiFi and BT to provide easier connections and increase your PPC security at the same time.

Marco,

Did you try a soft reset? It may fix this otherwise hard reset...

Nop... doesn´t work... it gets copiedtwice within the ROM I have a more detailed explanation in dell forums... but no answer yet... is this happening to everyone with A002 ROM installed?

...did this: (And same happens every time I do it:)

1) Hard reset....
2) Open File Explorer...
3) Right in an empty area to "Show all files"
4) Look for the odyssey Clent under \Windows and it is there...(My Device\Windows\odClientCE.exe 2.16M)
5) Go to the Odyssey Client under Program Files... and there it is too! (My Device\Program Files\Funk Software\Odyssey Client\OdClientCE.exe 2.16M)

Note: Just as that! NO backup, no ActiveSync, no SD-card inserted... nothing!it's simply in the ROM!
