[psychotic]

I'll give that a try soon, thanks

Thanks verizonguy for the contribution.

However, the app does not seem to do its intended purpose. I run the app and select serial. Ok. I rerun the app to double check the settings took. They did. Good! I dock my 6700 and get the unknown device error. I undock and redock a few times. Same issue. I then soft reset the device and run the app to double check the settings. it's back on RDNIS.

I change it back to Serial. Then dock the device and get the unknown device error again. So, then ensures a perpetual undock, dock, soft reset, serial setting effort without relief.

Thanks anyway verizonguy for your contribution! One of these days, hopefully, this issue will be fixed.

My guess is that you're soft resetting using a stylus. Never do that. Use an application to reset it. You can download one for free easily.

I hate to derail, but after searching around the forum and HoFo I wasn't able to find out why a stylus reset is bad and a program reseter is ok. I don't doubt you at all but I am curious. Why should we not use a stylus to reset?

Well I think it's not as big a problem as it's made out to be. When WM switched to persistent storage for WM5, MS needed ways to increase the speed of the device (since flash memory is a lot slower than RAM). One of those ways was to make registry changes in RAM and periodically flush them to the flash memory.

So the theory is, if you make a registry change and immediately soft reset, those changes are still in RAM and never made it to the flash and are therefore lost (sort of the same reason why it's not advisable to unplug your PC while it's on). Using a soft reset programatically (i.e. via a software app) will allow for those changes to be written to flash first, because the device knows that it's going to be soft reset (sort of like choosing "Shut Down" on a Windows PC).

The other way around the problem is to suspend the device (power button) first before soft resetting, which also causes any reg entries still existing in memory to get written to flash.

That said, I've never had a problem even when I didn't do those things. I've even tested it using a reg editor... make an entry then close the app and soft reset with the stylus--the entry was always there after the reset so I think this is more of a "best practice" kind of thing.

Thanks for the easy to understand answer! I'm digging around now looking for a resetting program with a tiny footprint.
