Some international versions of the Pocket PC the Tasks Today
screen applet display 0 tasks when "All tasks
categories" is selected. This happen when you selected a task
category and then selected "All task categories" again,
the Today screen then display 0 tasks, whatever your real tasks
are. |
This
is fixed by Microsoft
or you can install PHM

When
you go to View, then Categories, then check one of your categories
it should show you only those appointments that are part of that
category. This is exactly what it does do in the daily and weekly
view. When you do this in monthly view, all appointments are still
shown, it does not eliminate the non-category ones. |
Go
to View, Categories, pick your category. Once you make your
selection you go back to the monthly view. Now, go 2 months into
the future, then go back to one month prior to the current month.
Finally, go to the current month. Lo and behold, it works.

If
you create a map with pushpins in Streets & Trips 2001 (or
2000) and then export that map to Pocket Streets 2001 (or 2000)
the pushpin locations shown in Pocket Streets will be off. |
The
workaround is to create the pushpins in Pocket Streets.
Also, this is fixed in Pocket Streets 2002. |

Pocket
Internet Explorer does not fully support the <A></A>
tag, as it ignores "bookmark" (down page) links.
For example,
if a page has an index such as "A B C D E ... X Y Z" at
the top, with corresponding links to locations further down the
page such as <a href="#C"> C</a>, and you
click on the blue underlined "C", the screen clears and
redraws, but still sitting there at the top. |

Can't
figure out how to unmap the buttons in Media Player. |
Click
and hold on the button assignment and the option to unmap the
button is displayed in the list. This is not a bug but an
unintuitive design. |

Media
Player does not restore key assignments when it goes in the
background, causing problems with other programs and with the SIP |
There
are advantages to not mapping the buttons so you can control Media
Player while in another program. This behavior should be
optional though. This has been resolved in Windows Media
Player 7.0 or later. |

Initialization
for a connection string that is bigger like 40 characters, this is
maximum that I can write in �Connection settings�, in �Extra
Dial-String modem commands�. |
The
40 character limitation is the buffer size of some modems.
Microsoft chose to limit their buffer size to this to be
compatible with these modems. |
