Thanks for all the help so far, I'm going to try
and get this sorted by Xmas but just have a couple
more questions:
1: Can the round hard button be used as a directional
DVD menu button?
Yes it can. In ProntoEdit to assign a command to the D-Pad(round Axim button), you'll assign the commands to the "hard keys" using ProntoEdit. Generally these are used for things like Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down, and Mute. However, many Axim (and other PDA users) tend to assign the D-Pad to be DVD controls instead. In ProntoEdit(PE), simply assign the "hard keys" as follows:
Channel-Up in PE assign to DVD-Right
Channel-Down in PE assign to DVD-Left
Volume-Up in PE assign to DVD-Up
Volume-Down in PE assign to DVD-Down
Mute in PE assign to DVD-Enter
and
2: I'm wondering about sleep modes and wake up
times. If your watching a film and after an hour
you want to pause, will the PDA spring to life
like a Pronto or will it have turned off. If it
has can you change this setting or give it a screensaver
to keep it busy? And how long does it take to
come to life from start-up?
Thanks in advance for any help
Chris
In the Power Settings on the Axim, you can set how long to wait (up to 15 minutes) before it powers itself off, or you can have it not turn off. I advise against having it not turn off, as this would drain the battery a lot faster. Anyhow, when it powers off it basically just puts it in a "sleep mode." To wake it back up, either tap the power button or tap any of the hardware buttons. It goes back to the same place you were last at.
Also, on the Axim go to the Today settings and there is an item marked "Display Today screen if device is not used for (blank) hours". Disable this feature or set it to a very high number, because if it is enabled it will take you back to the main screen upon wakeup instead of taking you back to PDAwin.
