Problem wiht the files browser




By cfam on Oct 26, 2007

" "
It's impossible to open any file from my PDA.
impossible from any program or explorer.
when I click on the file name, it stand out in blue, but don't access to the file.
I did a soft reset but the problem didn't solve.
I did a Hard reset but the problem didn't solve.
Now I lost all my files, and the problem persists.

- thank you very much Wormy 22
clarifying, i'm using the pocket pc file explorer, i haven't tried to explore with any other explorer program. The problem is also present when I try to open any file from the explorer of a specific program, for example pocket word or pocket adobe. Excuse my ignorance but I don't know what means "satarting fresh". If I conect with activ sync, it is possible to explore the files ffrom my pc, but i cant open any file in the PDA. Now i'm trying to update the BIOS.

Same Problem

-   I have the same problem: when I touch a file name, the file name is highlighted instead of opening the file, when I touch another file name, the file name is also highlighted (while the first file name is still highlighted)...I can't open any files. I'm still able to browse the file using my PC. It seems the file explorer of the PDA is not working properly. I tried soft re-set and hard re-set wtih no success.-   Guest

Let's clarify a few things, when you try to access files on your PDA in file explorer or within a program it will not let you open it. I would try updating your bios and see what happens.  Here's a link to where you can get it.

Also try browsing the files from your computer.  Also try starting fresh.  This is a really odd problem.  What programs do you use to try and open files?  Good luck with your issue.

- Sorry, I meant starting fresh but I think that's what you meant by your hard reset.  If you hold down on a file to open the menu will it open the menu?  Can you browse through the folders in the PDA's file explorer?  Try putting a picture on the PDA through your PC and see if you can open it either through file explorer or the Ipaq's image viewer.  I hope updating the bios does the trick though.  I'm going to take a look at my Ipaq and see if I can't come up with any more ideas.
