Windows Issues / How To Stop Winxp Auto Decompress Downloads?

« on: January 29, 2007, 04:38:52 pm »

Well, thank goodness! I've been agonizing over this for two days. I have WinRar, and was downloading stuff, and it would extract too much. I couldn't download a simple ipk file without it getting rar'd. Couldn't change the name and fix it, couldn't do anything, and I tried everything! Sheesh! I know I'm a newbie, but I couldn't find out from any search I made how to get the simple ipk file out of the rar thingy. Thanks for this post!

iPAQ Forum / Just Installed Opie On Ipaq 3950

« on: August 07, 2005, 08:50:15 am »

I'm a complete newbie. I installed Linux (Familiar 8.2 and Opie) on my iPAQ 3950 yesterday. It was a harrowing experience for a beginner. Anyhow, it's on there, and works fine except that I can't sync and I can't access the 'net. I have two WiFi CF cards, one a SanDisk, and the other an AmbiCom. The AmbiCom works fine on my Zaurus. The iPAQ sees them both, but I get an error message ("starting interface failed") when I try to connect. The sync problem won't bother me a lot. I'll deal with that later. I need some advice on trying to get my cards to connect, though. Thanks for any help. If you have advice, please remember I'm new, I'm dumb, and I'm an old lady. Be gentle. And spell anything out.    Thanks!

General Discussion / Psp Power Brick!

« on: July 23, 2005, 12:34:55 pm »

the katz one..yeah i seen it for 20 dollars as well

comes with headphones, extra cd cases for psp, keychain, keychain power.

the case looks great and i could of easily stored my AAA batteries in them.

Nope...never tried it.

the pelican cig liter puts out 1.5 amps compared to the zaurus .1-.3 amps.

it is dangerous since it varies greatly.  the more amps, the more electrons flows through  a path, the more heat.

Do this.  if you can visibly see resistors in your case, then you will probably be fine.

if you just see wires going in from battery to outlet to zaurus with no mobo or resistors, then you probably gona have a problem.

I have 4 AAA batteries @850mah each which equals 3400 capacity.

now when i add my volt meter raw like to this 4 put together, i get 5.10v@10 amps which is very very dangerous.  that is why we need to test amp output

it should be within zaurus default range..............   which is .10-.30 or for the ea-70s .5 amps

When I open it up, the area that MIGHT have resistors, is still hidden. I'll try to disassemble it later. But I think there's just a straight shot from the wires to the outlet. I won't try it, anyhow, until I can get a better look. But, on the Katz stuff, the case (which really is a great one) fits my SL-6000 like it was made for it.

What about those charging things for the PSP that have four AA batteries in them? I got one of those with a bunch of PSP accessories. If it would work for the PSP, wouldn't it work for a Zaurus? I'm not going to try it without hearing from one of you guys first. I'm still a complete Zaurus newbie, and I am so afraid of bricking mine. I wouldn't be able to put a new OS on, or anything, at this point.

6000 - Tosa / Newbie Question About Deleting Folders

« on: July 10, 2005, 02:38:31 pm »

You didn't mention what Z you are using or where the folder is located.  If you are using a clamshell Z, then it does have the ability to act as a card reader so anything created on a SD or CF would be viewable from a PC.  BTW try using tree explorer.  It works very close to windows explorer.

I'm using the SL-6000. That's why I posted in this area. I found that I had been dumb enough not to check Administrator Privileges, and that's why all the stuff was greyed out. I thought I was savvy; but I'm not at all. Terrible newbie.

6000 - Tosa / Newbie Question About Deleting Folders

« on: July 09, 2005, 07:52:29 pm »

OK, I'm editing this post. I got it done; just don't ask me how. Maybe when I know what I'm doing, I'll be able to tell somebody else, but really, I was just bumping around in the dark and something worked. Thanks for your help. I'll be quiet now until I know what the heck is going on.

6000 - Tosa / Newbie Question About Deleting Folders

« on: July 09, 2005, 05:09:05 pm »

I have searched, but found no answers to this. I created a new folder in the File Manager (accidentally; meant to go up a level and hit new folder instead) and can't figure out how to delete it. It's in Applications, and shows up in the tree. The delete is greyed out, and I'm such a newbie that I have no clue how to get rid of the thing. I tried resetting and that didn't do it, either. I can't see the insides of this on my PC like I can on a pocket PC, unless I'm missing something. Can anybody have pity on a newbie and help me get rid of that offending folder? I've tried renaming it, too, but the darned thing won't let me select anything or get rid of it.
Thanks in advance,
Gatewood
