- Problems
- --------
-
- 1. Read only files
-
- Some times files become read only while being installed. None of the files
- should be read only. If you get any errors like the program is unable to
- write information to your Psion go through the program files to see if some
- of them are read only.
-
- In the system-view you can open the file property window by selecting
- (highlighting) a file and pressing Ctrl-P. In the property window you can see
- and set/clear the read only checkbox.
-
- 2. Copying between C and D
-
- Be very careful when you move or copy applications between the C and D
- drives. It seems that the Psion is not correctly updated when applicaions are
- copied from C to D or vice versa.
-
- Always delete the application directory from one drive before reinstalling on
- the other drive.
-
- 3. Low on battery
-
- When starting up this program for the first time a lot of writing is done to
- the disk. If your machine is low on battery these writes can go wrong and
- turn the application files bad. This should only be an issue when running the
- application the first time.
-
- 4. Not enough memory
-
- This program needs up to 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive. If you try to
- run the program with less than 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive it may
- not behave as expected.
