Windows Issues / Synch to Office 2003

« on: May 25, 2004, 12:35:44 pm »

I was having problems with Outlook XP and syncing, and the problem stems from a corrupt *.pst file in Outlook.   I could import contacts and to-do tasks, but not Calendar.  Found a fix (sort of) which I documented here: http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...t=4165&start=15

Sounds like your Personal Folder file (.pst) may be damaged, visit the below on how to repair it:

Qman...

You were on the right track, Qman.  My .pst file has some problem.  I tried to fix it using the micro$oft repair tools, and after it says that there are no problems, but still no ability to sync (same error when \"comparing records\" in Intellisync).  I built a months worth of data in KO-Pi on the Zaurus, exported to *.vcs file, and tried to import that into Outlook.  Got an error saying that the Import file may have corruption.  

So here\'s the [sort-of] fix, if you\'re getting an \"Unable to Complete Request\" error when Intellisync tries to compare records between the Zaurus calendar and Outlook:  I archived my calendar from Outlook to a new archive *.pst file.  Then did an import (just importing into the Zaurus) via Intellisync, from the new archive *.pst calendar, and Voila!  Success.  I then tried to export and import into Outlook, to no avail, so I really only have one-way from Outlook into the Z, so I synced the Z calendar with KO-Pi on the Z, and then exported a *.vcs file from KO-Pi on the Z to KO-Pi on Windows, and all is fine.  

Short of beginning with a new Outlook *.pst file I won\'t be able to import into Outlook, but KO-Pi seems great, so I\'ll move forward with that since my main calendar file will be on the Z rather than the Windows box anyway.  I typically only use the Windows calendar for printing.

What sort of problems?

Most were display related - part of the display going out or the display not functioning when flipped, etc.

Hi Josh
Once again I agree with Bob ;-)

When you do get one, you\'ll love it ;-)

Ditto here, too.  I bought mine from Dynamism, after debating whether I should get one from eBay or another vendor w/o warranty, and with input from several people on ZUG who have had problems with their C-series Zs, went with the warranty.

Cxx0 General discussions / Problem with Japanese keyboard on C860

« on: May 23, 2004, 07:06:26 pm »

My new c860 came from the vendor without the handwriting recognition enabled.  I figured out how to enable handwriting here:
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...ing+recognition
but in the process lost the selection on the Japanese onscreen keyboard to toggle between 2-bit and 1-bit characters and it is stuck in 2-bit, so I can\'t type ASCII characters on screen, only with the hard keyboard where the toggle function (Fn-0 and Fn-9) still works.  How do I re-enable this feature?  I assume it is just a symlink that I\'ve lost?

Anyone have screenshots of the CackO ROM on a c7x0?
Also, for the newbie, what are the pros/cons of this ROM vs the stock Sharp ROM on a c7x0?

Thanks,
Mike

I have an SMC 2642W and it is great.  Very nice range.  It doesn\'t seem to be too power hungry either.

Did you delete just a file or the entire .opera folder?  I found both under /zaurus directory.

Windows Issues / Sync Options

I tried repairing the *.pst file, and still getting no sync.  Same problem, as described below.  
:idea:  I\'ll gladly pay a reward to the person who could come up with a fix!  It is confounding me.  :!:

A few questions - should I have file sharing turned off or on?  What about sharing on my outlook *.pst files?  (I have the network config set up with file sharing on, but not sharing on the outlook files/folder).  Tried changing all of these back and forth, but no success in sync.  Strange thing is that I can transfer address book and emails, but not calendar.

I\'m having trouble getting my Calender to sync via Intellisync.  I can transfer files, backup, transfer address, etc, but can\'t transfer the Calendar info from Outlook into the Sharp Calendar.  I keep getting an error \"Unable to Complete Request\" right after the \"comparing records\"  screen.  

Tried installing Ko/Pi as an alternative (it is an awesome calendar app!) and thought that I\'d just export a *.vcs file from Outlook using Outpod which creates one vcs file of whatever events you specify, but Ko/Pi hangs up when trying to import, requiring a reboot.  

This is the most amazingly frustrating and seemingly so simple thing!

Found a bargain SL-C860 on eBay.  If I hadn\'t bought mine from Dynamism two weeks ago, um I would have snapped this up in a second.
Oh well...

No connection to the seller, etc.  Just passing it on.

Software / KOrganizer / KO/Pi (KOrganizer Platform independent)

« on: May 21, 2004, 07:41:23 pm »

Ko-Pi is fantastic!  Now if I only had a way to export my Outlook calendar. - I can\'t get Intellistink to work for export of Calendar files to Sharp calendar.  Tried everything.  It will export addresses/contacts, but not calendar; i keep getting the \"Unable to Complete Request\" error when it is \"Comparing Records\".  If only I could do that, an dthen import from Sharp into Ko-Pi, I\'d be in heaven.  Anyone care to help?  I\'d pay a reward for a solution!  Or is there a way to create one *.ics or *.vcs file that Ko-Pi will then import (the thought of importing 1200+ calendar events one-by-one is dreadful).

Anyone have any ideas as to how to make this work?  I keep getting this error - I\'m thinkng that it has to be an XP setting (when in doubt, blame Micro$oft).
