Updates for the PCMCIA and Compact Flash Card controllers
Some MobilePro units have exhibited the following symptoms when using Compact Flash Cards or ATA PCMCIA Memory Cards:
1. Storage Card folder is not displayed when you insert a PCMCIA ATA card and/or a Compact Flash card.
2. Warning message "Unidentified PC Card Adapter".
3. Warning message "Storage Card Warning" displayed.
To fix these issues:
If you have a MobilePro 750C without a ROM upgrade, download the file MP75Pcm.exe from support.necsam.com. For a MobilePro 750C with upgraded ROM, use the file MP75RPcm.exe. After the files are extracted, follow the instructions in the Readme.txt file.
Windows CE device
This error occurs because Windows CE first moves the file to the recycle bin before deleting it, and if there is insufficient space, the error message is displayed and the system appears to hang.
To resolve this issue, use one or more of the following methods.
* Empty the Recycle Bin
Use the following steps to empty the Recycle Bin:
1. Depress the "Alt" key and tap the Recycle Bin.
2. Tap "Empty Recycle Bin"
3. Tap "Yes" when asked to confirm the file deletion.
* Change the Properties for the Recycle Bin so that files are deleted instead of being moved to the Recycle Bin.
Use the following steps to change the properties of the Recycle Bin.
1. Depress the "Alt" key and tap the Recycle Bin.
2. Tap "Properties".
3. Tap the check box for "Do not move file to the Recycle Bin, remove immediately on delete".
* To make additional space available for the Recycle Bin.
Use the following steps to change the properties of the Recycle Bin.
1. Depress the "Alt" key and tap the Recycle Bin.
2. Tap "Properties".
3. Tap the slider to the right.
"Fatal Application Error"
This problem may occur if the user allows the batteries to discharge to a state where the MobilePro must shut itself down. This state may cause the system storage memory to become unstable requiring a "hard" reset after the system has been fully charged again. Failure to perform the hard reset may result in data loss at a later time. The user manual states that if you receive a message indicating that the batteries are low, immediately connect the AC adapter to the device.
The solution is to perform a "hard" reset after fully charging the internal batteries, and then install the service packs, software updates and user software.
