WM5 Problems Downloading from IE

sdowney83 · 11-07-05, 04:43 PM

Okay, I was so psyched to get my long awaited WM5 upgrade in the mail, got, and installed it. Seems okay at first until I try to download stuff from the mobile internet browser.

Everytime I try to download something with internet explorer on my x50v I get the error "This device is restricted from downloading this file type"

Before, I could even download exe files, but this time im only trying to download cab files. Never had a problem before, so my question is.. is there any way to allow this, or bypass the restriction?

Apparently you have the security features activated. I would suggest you disable this.. How to do that i have no clue... (Im still running SE2003)

I dont know exactly what it was that I did that fixed it, but I did a full reset and erased everything and started from scratch.
Works fine now though.
On another sad note, XPShutdown doesnt work with WM5

I've noticed a few other strange downloading glitches as well. I subscribe to easynews, and I used to be able to click on a link to download, and the device would prompt me for a location to save it. Now, it automatically tries to download to internal memory (instead of to the card) where I get the message, "not enough space, download terminating" or something like that.
