Re: [nsbasic-ce] Re: Problem with Palm treo 700wx (uses windows mobile 6)
We can't really support 6.5 anymore - it's really old. Try the suggestion of Tech Note 1 as well. I may do the upgrade if I can port the app into the new version and it is compatible with Vista. However, you did not answer the question regarding problem opening the 6.5 program on my laptop which is xp.

Could the entire project be ported to 8.0 to solve the problem and would that then also be compatible with other devices? Thanks for your insights.

If it is for the usual 240x320, it will not look right on the Treo, which has a different screen size - it's square and 240 x 240. Your program needs to allow for this and adjust the objects as needed. 2. RunTimeFat.ARM42.exe is only for devices that do not use Windows Mobile. It will not work on the Treo. You might want to have a look at NS Basic/CE 8.0 which makes all of this much easier. Here is a message I received from a user of my application designed with nsb-ce 6.5: Installed PocketCogo to my Palm Treo 700 wx with Windows Mobile 6 professional CE os 5.2.1620 build18125.0.42. The Processor is: PXA272-312Mhz Memory is 57.38 Mb with an 4 GB sdhc memory card. The program executes but does not allow me to see full screen after Pocketcogo.nsb is doubled tapped. The file for install is RuntimeFat.ppc.exe with activesync. Is there a solution to re-size screen? Screen size is 2.5 x 2.5 diagonal. I then sent him RunTimeFat.ARM42.exe and this is return message: The RuntimeFat.42ARM.exe gives me a windows error message to send to Microsoft. Any ideas anyone? Jim Schuchert Yahoo!

[nsbasic-ce] Re: Problem with Palm treo 700wx (uses windows mobile 6)
Eric, Thank you for your reply. I followed everything in that tech note, including deleting 2 instances of nsbpictb.dll. I cleaned and fixed the registry, ran register.bat (already had done that) but nothing solved the problem. I have ordered the 8.0 upgrade so hopefully that one will not have that issue. I want to use it on my Vista since the text boxes disappeared from the other installation. Now for the rest of the story. I don't know if you have heard or or used 'mojopac' (by RingCube). It is software that will allow you to install programs on flash drives, ipods, etc. and then run them on other computers without leaving a trace. They don't have a Vista version yet (except for a beta) so it only works on XP for now. Anyway, I used my laptop (the one with the nsb problem) to install the 6.5.3 version on one of my flash drives. Apparently it also got installed on my laptop in another folder with a new 'program files', windows and the whole works, the way it does on the flash drive. So...the program runs fine from that folder. I suspect that may be the cause for the 429 error but I will leave well enough alone and use it from there if I ever need it again. Incidentally, I suppose 3 years is a long time in the computer world but I am glad that other companies don't put their software to pasture that quickly. Have a great weekend.

Then re-installed 6.5.3 and it still would not let me execute the IDE because of the runtime error 429 about no license, etc. Is there some dll that should be registered? what else could it be? I'm afraid if I upgrade to 8.0, I'll have the same problem with the laptop.
