I am trying to install the WM5 software on my axim and i have a problem when i try to update the rom. The activesync installs perfectly, but then when i try to install the bios update, it tells me it can't find the file, to reintall the system update. I tried downloading it from the dell site but have the same problem (aximupdate.exe).

Is this what the patch is supposed to fix? Thanks

I wouldnt mess around with the wm5 upgrade until an update is put out for x50. Right now i hear many people having problems and ruining devices.

I definitely agree. Stick with 2003 until a fix comes out. Too buggy right now.

i figured out the problem with the bios upgrade. Apparently, you have to extract the files onto the desktop of the computer. Then it worked fine. I just updated the BIOS to 05.

Are they going to just post the patch on the dell support website?

I am going to hold off on the upgrade for now. If it didn't have powerpoint i don't think i would install it at all. Thanks

If they every do issue an upgrade it will be listed on their site. Don't count on one being posted for quite a while, however. There are tons of people waiting on it, but if you feel saucy you could try installing it and see how you like it after doing all of the tweaks listed on this site. I tried that and still found that at this point 2003SE is the OS for me.
