REGISTRY CHANGE - WM5.0 - DEVICE NOT STARTING ANYMORE

Hi everybody,

I was tunning the registry of my brand-new mio P350 when (i'm feeling stupid 
now) I changed one of the keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init, the one related to 
gwes.exe to be more accurate.

My pda has never wakeup since then. Does anybody know how to solve this. Is 
it possible to boot from SD-Card,...

Thanx in advance

Yeah, you shouldn't be modifying anything in the Init key unless you put it 
there.  You need to check with the OEM and see if there's a way to 
hard-reset the device and take it back to a factory-shipped state.

Hi.

Try this:

Press the stylus into the soft reset + joystick up and hold it like this for 
about 30-40 seconds.
When you hear a sound - release the joystick (and pray ;-) ) good luck.
