I had an unexpected hard reset of my iPAQ 5550. Previously it had all the
latest bios, firmware and drivers. I recall reading that after a hard reset
some HP softpacks and system drivers must be re-installed. Can anyone
advise me which?

I use bluetooth, which is working, and wlan which needed resetting anyhow
as I since changed my access point and computer.

regards,

Beemer

Anything that installed into RAM must be reinstalled, which is most of
them. The only thing saved are files in ROM, which only a full ROM
upgrade will do. So, if you just ran a quick installer and did nothing
special to the 5550 when done other than a soft reset, that is gone.

The only updates from HP that are not permanent are the latest wifi drivers,
it's the one's that supports wpa.
