Self Inflected Wound



CINGULAR 8125

Pocket PC 5



My phone ran out of memory and I happily deleted a bunch of stuff.



Now Pocket IE no longer works. Every URL I enter returns an error: "The
address is not valid. Check the address and try again."



I can make calls, sync with my company's email server, and check for updates
to programs. How can I fix pocket IE without doing a hard reset?



Thanks for the help,



Steven

First, try a soft reset or two. I used to have a T-Mobile MDA (T-Mo's
version of the 8125) that would give me that error occasionally for no
apparent reason until I rebooted it.

Second, does the 8125 have that "enable/disable proxy" app like my AT&T
Tilt has? Might you have tripped it by mistake?

If that isn't it, this used to work in the olden days (pre WM5) sometimes:
go into the \Windows folder on the device with File Explorer and run the
"Welcome" file (if there's two run either one- one is just a shortcut to
the other.) This starts the align screen and other stuff (cut/paste
tutorial, clock setting, etc.) like when you first set up the device (but
don't worry- none of your data is erased!) It apparently also initializes
some IE Mobile settings (again, at least it did in the old days) and would
fix some connectivity issues.

Good luck!
