HP 4150 Newbie needs Help

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Do you have a pop3 or imap Inbox in your Pocket PC? When it comes on, does
it show a connect failed dialog? Perhaps it's trying to check e-mails every
"x" minutes. also there's an option on ActiveSync that will try to
synchronise this Pocket PC to a server every "y" minutes.

Check these two things for a start...

Display reminders is normal. You can control how long the Pocket PC stays on
by going to Start | Settings | Power and selecting the option to turn it off
after "x" minutes of inactivity.
