Dell Axim X30 W/A05 Firmware - Windows Media Player 10/Mob..

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

I installed the new firmware A05 on my Axim X30 and thus installed
WMP-10/Mobil. Whenever I open WMP-10 it begins a search for Skins and never
finds any. I've downloaded skins from MS (Skins that Support Both Audio and
Video Playback - Silver) and have saved the extracted folder in the X30
Documents folder, application folder, external memory card, Etc., without any
luck. The WMP-10 application continues to search (I believe the application
is actually hung) until I exit the application. This event occurs every time
I open the application. WMP-10 does work and can play my downloaded music
from WMP-10 on my XP desktop. I appreciate any help, advice that anyone cares
to give me on this issue. Thanks in advance.

Do a hard reset, or install a registry patch.

It is better to do a hard reset and reinstall all your programs though, as
there could be registry entries that may be corrupted and cause you Axim to
do other stange things.

I'm having exactly the same problem as Randal had with WMP 10 as part of A05,
but cannot get the downloaded "mediaplayer" file installed onto my Axim X30.
Can someone please walk me through how to install it? Thanks!
