Using the FlashROM Configuration Utility
Your MobilePro 790 includes the Internal FlashROM Configuration Utility, which recovers
information about files stored in FlashROM after events like a full reset, or if both main and
backup batteries are drained or removed. When this happens, the SDRAM memory is erased,
including information about the files on the FlashROM. The FlashROM Configuration Utility
recovers the data about the files on the FlashROM, and reestablishes links to those programs.
The only files affected are Primer and WorldTalk.
Follow these steps to run the Internal FlashROM Configuration Utility.
Click Start, Programs, Application, Internal FlashROM.
1.
The Internal FlashROM main screen displays the currently available free space in
2.
FlashROM. Press the Inspect button to look for applications whose registry settings are not
already set by the Internal FlashROM Utility.
If any uninstalled applications are detected, the Internal FlashROM Utility prompts you to
3.
install them. After inspecting the FlashROM for applications, the utility displays the
message "Inspection Completed Successfully."
If any applications are installed, the utility prompts you to soft reset the MobilePro. This
4.
must occur before you use any programs. For instructions on using the soft reset button,
refer to the user's guide.
Note
Each application is placed in its own folder in the HPC Internal FlashROM folder, and a
separate Default_Info folder holds the application files (Help, shortcut, etc.), in order by
application.
Recovering Applications after a Full Reset
When the system restarts after a full reset, you must go through several setup activities before
the FlashROM Configuration Utility screen appears. Click Yes to enable the FlashROM
Configuration Utility, and then soft reset the system. Please refer to the user's guide for more
information on full and soft resets.
After the system resets, complete the procedure in "Using the FlashROM Configuration Utility"
in this document. If any applications that use the utility are found, you can recover them one at a
time.
Adding Applications to FlashROM
Some applications come with instructions for installing to the FlashROM. Follow those
instructions, when provided. However, if you are installing a .cab file, follow the next steps to
add the application to FlashROM from your PC.
Connect your MobilePro to your PC using the serial cable. For details on attaching the
1.
serial cable, refer to the user's guide.
Copy the application (downloaded from the Internet or supplied on a disk) to the
2.
Synchronized Files folder on the PC. This is the folder ActiveSync checks for files to move
to the MobilePro.
Double click the ActiveSync icon on your PC to launch ActiveSync on both systems. When
3.
ActiveSync synchronizes your MobilePro to your PC, any files in the Synchronized Files
folder on the PC are automatically copied to the "My Documents/Synchronized Files"
folder on the MobilePro.
