Tell us something about the speed of the system and the space it takes...
Regards,
Primoz
p.s. Hope it will be soon released a version for the magician :wink:
Some screen captures
I have few installed programs but I think that the speed is very similar.
I do not understand very well as Magneto uses the memory, you have 14,57MB of ROM (storage) to install programs but you cannot install them in the RAM.
You can see 24,35MB of RAM but I believe that Magneto uses all the RAM, only who deal with form different those 24.35 from the 100 rest that we cannot see.
Resco file explorer cannot accede to Windows or temp but microsoft file explorer if it can.
Parrot CK3000 works fine.
About backpack: battery and TV/monitor output works but CF slot dont works.
Is it still using the MS bluetooth stack ? Any improvement on bluetooth function ?
Yes, it is MS BT, but now it appears a new menu, "COM Ports"
IMPORTANT: I have upgrade to Magneto using himaupgradeut_197.exe and the original nk.nbf file (without patching)
It has worked to the first time and I have not had any error of identification.
Also I have left the Storage empty before beginning the update.
what does the "patch" do anyway?
where did you get this version can you upload your version? or share it?
I heard that it i impossible to downgrade to 2003se is that true?
what do you advice: try it or not try it until its officially released(It is beta right?)
thx

It changes the filename of file "DevAuth.exe" in a way that it can't be executed anymore before start.
This application checks the hardware in some way to determine if the device is allowed to use the software. Maybe some of you have a device that matches this "authentication".
What about BT voice call?
Hi
"Parrot CK3000 works fine."
Does it mean that you can originate a call from BT device? Voice dial or smth. like this?
Or it just receiving calls and you can hear and microphone is working?
Making of voce calling over BT is one reason for me to upgrade...
can you give met the link for witch i can download it?
I have used the file nk.nbf from Xda-developers ftp.
I have returned to wm2003SE with himaupgradeut_197.exe and nk.nbf file of version 2.06.
ParrotCK3000 works just as with 2,06 version and the change of the registry.
Magneto is very interesting but it specially has a great failure, when you install many programs the system becomes slower, particularly with programs like betaplayer.
If the problem of the RAM use and the access to CF slot were solved, it would be a great system.
2.06 works with AS 4.
More news:
Magneto can be reinstall again using himaupgradeut_197.exe in bootloader mode.
If we installed the programs in the SD and left frees the memory of the PDA, the system goes much more fast.
Some programs cannot be installed in the SD and they settle in the PDA. Some programs that work in wm2003 and wm2003se not admit magneto, aborts the installation.
SPB pocket plus does not settle because it says that it is being tried to install on ppc2000 and aborts the process.

hi all,
I am looking to upgrade my himalaya to wm2005.I was scared to death when i was upgrading my device to 2003se, but with the help of xdajojo& others, I was able to upgrade very easily with diamond1.2 from omegared.Now I have been reading on how to upgrade to 2005 by xdajojo but to be frank, despite the beautiful way everything has been arranged, I cant understand most of it...I did try to upgrade but then I got the country id error(I have no idea what that means), I reffered to certain posts but that was all alien language to me :? .I really wish I could upgrade to wm2005, with all the talks around about how good the feel is i just cant wait, but the procedure seems difficult.I am also concerned about the RAM problem, as I dont understand most of the discussions about that(am I the only fool here? ).Anyway, is there a simpler way to do all this like we did with diamond or I would just be deprived of the cool wm2005?
Please guys I need help on this.Thanks eveyone.
Download these files:
Activesync (Direct Link)
Windows Mobile 2003 ROM Editior ( Direct Link)
Patch (Direct Link)
HimaUpgrateUT (Direct Links)
nk.nbf (Direct link) I made a direct link to a other ftp
Than read this topic: (Tread Url)
It's very easy actually. Remember, Windows 2005 is still very buggy. Don't put your screen into Landscape, If your do a softreset the screen is back to Portrait and the "actually" screen is still in Landscape!!
Check out the XDA FTP folder for Himalaya2005. There is the new version with the full RAM.
Download the .rar file from within this folder, unzipp it on your PC into a folder, then run the .exe file within this folder. Done
Of course, you first have to put your XDAII into bootloader mode before you run the .exe file. (bootloader mode: Powerbutton, resetbutton + directional pad left).

Hi,
I have upgrade it to WM2005. But my SDIO wifi not working and the storage memory is only left 9mb. Is there anything to be done after the upgrade? What about those people discussing Ramdisk or something like that and those .cab file?
Thanks
rmhtoh, have you upgraded with the latest FULL RAM version? I think you still used the old limited RAM version. Check out the FTP folder Himalaya2005. The new version is there.
That will solve the memory problem. You don't need the RAM disk anymore.
For the SDIO WLAN, download the SMARTPHONE driver from socket. There is another post in this forum about it.

I dont think you can land to bootloader screen without pressing the power button.
to get into boot loader mode
just run the setup once with the hima clearcode file and then u will land up in bootloader mode. and then it will give error and then run the setup and it will work..
cheers..
onkars
Yeah, just make sure you put this file (HimaClearJumpCode.exe) in the same folder (on the PC) and execute HimaUpgradeUt.exe.
WARNING: Do not copy HimaClearJumpCode.exe to your Pocket PC!!!
If it fails, try it again and will go through just fine the second time.
hi ppl,
today I ve made rom with the romkitchen, it was 2003 final and everything went ok, phone was functional until I used to try to install some newer versin of the programs I previously included in the rom. That didnt work (of course) so I decide to put another rom without those programs so I can install newer versions but when I run the romkithen exe computer report
in the dos window
error getconnectiontipe - unspecified error
error getting connectiontype
and the program for the patching report that he is trying to get the data from the device and after that he reports that
"cannot execute the remote communication program, please make sure that the usb/serial cable is properly connectes"
of course cable is connected, device syncing with the active sync and the icon is green, used to try to soft reset pc and pocketpc, to hardware reset pocket pc, to connect it to other pc and patch there, to install active sync 3.7.1, to reinstall active sync 4.2, to reinstall usb drivers on the pc, to put sim card and sd card out and to patch then... nothing helped...
what can I do ? is that due to the windows 2003 instalation on the pocket pc (had same version on other wallaby without the problems) ? can I solve that some way ?
I ve read before that patching can be performed from the SD card so I found the xda tools and osi image tool but couldnt found rom nd1 file anywhere (was stupid and didnt make copy of my previous rom)... which rom can I use just to enable USB connection and after that I ll patch it with the "normal" rom from the rom kitchen...
Ive checked those roms http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions but didnt find any nd1 file in the files I ve checked, can I use those roms with osi image tool eventually ?
which one ?
Lots of questions ... Sorry people ...
I can use it in this condition too but I d rather have an opportunity to flash it to some other version maybe.
Best regards to the community !
I think it´s just the problem that the ROM prohibits flashing via EXE-file. You have to flash via SD-Card.....
You find the ROm to write on the SD-Card in the EXE-FIle. Just extract the exe using winzip, and then you will find it in a subdirectory (normally english, or dependent on the ROM-Language...)
Stefan
Thanks a lot Stefan, so I can use some ROM from the page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions ?
Any advice which one should I take please (Im not using any of the operators noted there, just looking for some rom that will function ok) ?
Thanks m8 !
Yes, you can take any rom of it. Mostly the T-Mobile prohibits flashing via EXE-File, but Flashing via SD-Card is more secure in my opinion. So i´ve done 99,9% of my flashes via SD-Card, and you can believe me, i´ve done it a lot of times.....
By the way, which software has to been updated in my romkitchen?
If you give me the hints, i could try to update them....
Stefan
thanks a lot for your time and advices Stefan !
Its not a huge problem but probably we share same opinion - most of the tech guys like to see that everything work fine, if something doesnt work then we re not satisfied.
Basically problem is that I included spb pocket plus in the rom and therefore I cant install spb weather which demands pocket plus v 2.5+ and version in the rom is 2.0. I cant upgrade it coz its in the ROM, used to try to remove it from the registry but no luck, used to install latest spb diary coz the spb weather also work with the diary but looks like that the first thing weather perform is checking of the pocket plus version and if the version is not 2.5+ it stops the installation...
Probably for the most of the people spb weather is not a reason for loosing couple of hours in trying to change rom in wallaby but as I ve mentioned I like the things that work 100%, if some electronic/computer stuff work at 99% that usually bother me. Stupid - I know but thats the way it is.
Im going to patch it thru the SD, thanks again for the all your efforts now and before.
GL & HF !
Sorry...
Still need help, using the OSI tool I copyed NK.nbf file from 4.02.04_eng rom to "XDA SD Card Slot -unknown size" - coz I dont have card reader/writer at the present moment so I tought that I can put the file via the cradle connection while the card is in the wallaby...
Checked the card from the wallaby file explorer but nothing is on the card, since I had expirience with direct writing to c64 and amiga disks writing I assumed that file could be written directly to the card without OS instructions but after the reset of the wallaby it report that card shoud be formatted to become writable... Is that normal, or I should wait for the card writer reader to put the file properly to the sd card ?
If possible please help me with the link for the OSI tool patching, I cant find it anymore, checked thru the site but no luck, dont know what I have to press so the wallaby read the rom from the sd card.
Thanks Stefan & all others
success !
No help needed, I ve made it...
So dont have any fears as Stefan told unpack the rom from the self extracting archive and run osi tool, in the source field set nbf as a file type and then select extraced rom.
As a target you can set card reader/writer and also you can put the SD card in the wallaby as I did. Set the XDA SD card as a target in that case.
Its normal that after the writing (no message that writing is successfull, when it is finished OSI tool will stop) SD card become unreadable to wallaby.
Then perform actions as noted in SD card patching info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
Hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a " Hard Reset"
Action button mentioned above is middle button - "D PAD"
Works like a charm, now I have o2 win 2002 and later I ll patch it to 2003 SE again but without pocket plus.
Thanks Stefan and community !
Hi, Ive just installed TomTom 6.010 on WM6, but I can never get a GPS signal.
If I go to configure my GPS device in TOMTOM, which type of receiver do I select? The NMEA GPS? (I'm assuming this is COM5:9600, too)
Please help lol
Mines set up as:
Other NMEA GPS reciever
GPS Baud Rate 57600
Com 4
and Tomtom 6 works perfectly.
I had to use the tomtom 6 patch listed in an earlier post as my tomtom wouldn't work under Win Mobile 6, have you had to do the same.
It takes 5 to 10 minutes to find GPS signal some times (spesialy for the first time)
On some ROM versions it is immidiate. experiment...
My Com port is 0, but before i pair it with my HTC.
I use original Tom-Tom GPS

Excuse me, but I'm a bit confused...what exactly are you pairing with the HTC? The GPS?
Why are you using external BT GPS instead of the internal one? is it due to low satellite reception?...cause I do this as well, since I have sun shields on my car, and the BT GPS is placed on the shield on a clear location where the reception is much better.
The internal is mapped to Port 4, but actually it is on Port 5.
cheers thanks. works great now
i havent had to update tomtom at all yet, but im not using a particularly kosher version *ahem* (although i do have a tomtom 6 lisence, just not for the maps im using)
If you run QUICK GPS BEFORE opening tomtom it finds the satellites pretty fast (at least for me). If I do not run it tomtom takes a long time to locate the satellites.

The main question i have:
How can i add an additional map manually? I have GB + major roads of WE. I have France maps. Just copying is not enough... so what else can i do?

You should only have to copy the map subdirectory (probably called France for this map) into the root of your SD card and Tomtom will be able to find it.
Location of TomTom 6.x patch for Windows Mobile 6?
A search of this forum does not seem to reveal the location of the latest TomTom Navigator 6.x patch that allows said software that I just purchased to run on my newly purchased x7501, which has the Windows Mobile 6 2.19 ROM code flashed.
What / where is the latest TomTom 6.x patch?
Is there a later, proven, "better" 2.x WM6 ROM available?
Alternately, what tools are used to develop the ROM flash code and application patches?
Thanks,
Tom

If you're looking for tools there is a section within the forum for this and you can also check multiple Wiki pages.
TomTom 6.x works well on my Athena running WM6. Never had to install a patch to get it to work.

To add to that, I normally do not do any settings. I just install after every flash and start the program and leave device near my window and go off to have a coffee. After several minutes it sees the sats, and maps etc. That is it. The rest is automatic the next time I start and goes faster.
Alway s have the maps and voices folders installed (copied) to card.

I am having no success installing TomTom Navigator HOME 6.010 on my x7501, which has the 2.19 WM6 ROM flash.
I have unsuccessfully tried twiddling the user interface settings that seem as if they may affect the outcome.
When executed on a laptop running Vista, without WM5torage, the installation program does not recognize the x7501 as a valid installation location. Attempting installation while running WM5torage 1.75 causes a WM5torage hang and the x7501 needs a reset to connect to a laptop running Vista, and results in a "<file name> not found" error message after WM5torage ceases functioning. One file might get copied, most often none get copied successfully.
Installing from various locations and combinations with the ppc cab file results in a "Installation of <cab file> failed" message, to the system, microdrive and/or the 4GB microSDHC card.
Though new to the xda and mobile device space, I am reasonably experienced otherwise. As painful as this might be for both of us, please tell me, step by step, how you successfully installed TomTom Navigator HOME 6.010 onto your x7501. Please do not assume anything, as I have likely missed something simple. I would need to know the versions of software used, e.g. ROM, WM5torage, Navigator.
According to the TomTom web site, Navigator 6 on WM6 is not supported.
Thank you,
Tom
Someone has another version here. You need legal maps to use

I had a similar problem installing the retail/downloaded copy of TomTom onto my device. I called TomTom support and they couldn't figure it out. I eventually figured out where the installation files were, extracted them and moved them over to my SD card. Then I installed them from there without any problem. I asked tech support to document the procedure I implemented to get this done in case they have other people with the same problem. Hope this helps. I'm slammed with work now or else I would look to see which files I used and post the info. I'm sure if you're familiar with installing CABs from the device you'll be able to tinker around a bit and find them. One thing I remember is that I had to extract the CAB on the CD or DVD before I was able to access the actual installation files. The first CAB is the archive and the CABs inside the archive are the installation files.
6.030 officially out-
Actually, Tomtom has officially released this update...
http://www.tomtom.com/support/product.php?ID=1401&Language=4&query=update&FID=6814
Basically, d/l the latest version of TT Home, insert your mem card or connect the device (mem card only 4 Vista), and click the D/L button on the above page.
Then follow the instructions. If it doesn't install, then you can manually pull the
cab file from:
(C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\TomTom\HOME\Downloads).
Then open with Winrar, and extract the ttn.cab file located in the 2577 folder.
Transfer to the card/device, run it, and you should be good to go.
Last note: Palm has an official update available on their site here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/gps_nav.html
which appears to be the same exact file (same size).
Hope that helps...
hey guys i just want to copy the tomtom map to the microdrive via activesync but when trying to copy cline.dat i have an error what can i do to copy this file to the microdrive?
Can anyone confirm or deny that either of the two programs work with the brand new rom?
They didn't with 3.27. There also is a newer version of Card Export out now.
Still not working for me on the official 3.35 ROM. I'd love to get this fixed. That was an essential feature for me and it sucks not having it.
Were you referring to Card Export II 3.08 or WM5torage?
both....
I was running Card Export 3.06, so when I saw your post I was hoping 3.08 would work. Installed it and still no love. This sucks.
Edit: I submitted a bug report at Softick's website. Here's hoping for a resolution
WM5torage 1.75 works with the new rom.
Not working for me. Did you do anything special? What ROM are you running? I'm on the official Sprint 3.35 release.
Also posted at PPCGeeks,
For those interested in Card Export/WM5torage:
I don't know about everyone else, but the ability to use my phone as a flash drive for transfering files is a huge advantage for me. Activesynce/WMDC blows, and is not installed on every computer. Since the update to 3.XX ROMs, neither of these programs has worked (at least for me). I've been in touch with Softick (makers of Card Export) and I think we will have a solution soon. I've run some debug programs for them and they have developed a working version. Not sure when the final release will be, but hopefully soon. I was amazed at how responsive their team was. The day after I emailed them, the developer was in contact with me. I ran some debug programs, and the next day he had a working test version for me to try. Really awesome to see them working that quickly to develop a fix. If I hear anything about the final release I'll post again. Just thought some people might want to know.

i have both working on dcd 3.01 rom with the new 3.35 radio. I also discovered a way to unhide the extrom in dcd's kitchen and without the bug that happens when u follow this links suggestion : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=EXTRom
I have the phone recognize my extrom as a Mounted Volume or a harddrive for a lack of a better term. This means that since it is recognized as other than an extension of the primary, u could get files to treat it like a 2nd harddrive, maybe have a two OS's installed at 1 time. ( wm5 and then wm6 ) just boot into which 1 u want to use. or im working on trying to get the WM^ to treat it like a swap file for extra 10mb of memory. swap files r treated just like system memory by the Operating system.
any how u just have to make some reg changes and u are in business

would you care to further explain exactly how you got wm5torage and card export working on dcd's 3.01 rom with the new 3.35 radio? cause i jus tried both on the same rom and it's a no go for me, using the computer operating system windows XP. i have seen them work in linux.
well first i have the security and encryption off/ second, my version of both those progs are cracked, so they have been altered and third i thinks got something to do with the fact that i use QPST program which i have both 6700 and 6800 usb drivers on my phone. i use the 6700 usb drivers for that program and possibly thats what is making those programs work. U know because i havent had a problem with them i never thought about it./ but i couldnt but a 100 percent sure, but it would be my best guess. besides from my last post u can see that i have been messing with my extrom in which i use the 2 progs to help me with
how'd u get the 6700 usb drivers on your phone? u cooked it in using dcd's kitchen? where'd u get the 6700 drivers from? the apache kitchen??
card export II seemed to work w/ linux for me (did an "ls" to see the directory listing), However, when used with Server 2003 (my regular desktop that has activesync), it mounted itself, but when I went to see the drive, it was empty.
exactly the same for me. works in linux...and is visible but empty in windows. wonder how bunvilla got it to work. he's the only one so far that's been able to get them working.
says the drivers from the 6700 is on his 6800...sounds very likely to work that way but.....wonder how he got the drivers from the 6700??
Hopefully they will figure out something soon. This program is really helpful.
i want to make sure we are on the same page ok. When i use that program I only have access to my SD card. I cant access my phone folders. So when im at work and i want to save something to my sd card i turn on Card Export II 3.08 and then the little green light comes on and in a minute it shows up when i click "my computer" icon. But u know something ever since i changed the extrom to Mounted Volume ( no i didnt just rename the Extrom to Mounted Volume) it shows up too as a little 9mb removeable drive right below my Sd card.
so in the main directory there are 2 extra removable drives that shows up, and the only thing i can think of is my SDcard is formatted fat32.
Oh and by the way i didnt extract the 6700 usb drivers from a 6700 phone, i got them from a website and i rename my usb drvs for the 6800 and use the 6700 usb drvs and then switch when im done.
someone told me that i was doing it the hard way but it works for me. hope this helps some,
there are those times when stuff jus doesnt work for everyone else. sound like a lucky dude and congrats...cause NO ONE else can get it to work. not even the company who created the program. they're supposed to be working on a fix now.
well u know something else that i have that nobody else seems to have is the extrom , on my version of DCD' 3.01 everyone else seem to have issues with that too. at best they get extrom and extrom2 showing up when they use No2chem unlock extrom in the root directory of thier phone. I include a thumb shot of my root and u will see that i not only fixed that issue i also have the extrom show up as a removable drive and it changed from extrom to Mounted Volume and i didnt rename it that, it happened because of the reg edits i made and flashdrv.dll i used. im surprised that doesnt get your curiosity. I can both read and write to it, might even be able to add it to the pagepool. im working it right so i will let u know if i succeed .
WM5torage 1.8 hacked version working
Hey all. Found this on one of the kaiser forums.
I can verify that I have successfully used this cab on my sprint mogul with OLD stock rom 2.17
The steps required are as follows:
1.Install hacked cab below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69221&d=1202300677
2.Soft Reset
3.Click yes to install card export and then OK to error messages
4.Open WM5torage and disable rndis
Note:According to thread, this will not work if you have ever installed card export on your system. Not sure why
Note 2: I am using 512microsd card with stock rom. I am about to reflash (for a change) and will repost later with my custom rom based on new 3.35

it gets my curisoty as well. one thing i have to say is it appears your level of geekiness is definitely a step above mines. u're a smart guy man. would be nice if you could maybe dump that rom of yours for us and maybe create a bunvilla's rom based off dcd's 3.01 with wm5torage and a mountable extrom working. im almost certain it would get a substantial amount of users.
I'm using an Athena (got it 2 days ago) with AP4.0
I had the wifi problem and solved it by myself with cmonex instructions.
I couldn't find a solution for the new problem I have: in USB to PC I select "As a Storage Device" and when I plug my Athena to my PC, the miniSD is connected as a Mass storage device.
I would like to use the Microdrive as a mass storage device.
How could I change this ?
If I remove the miniSD, there is no mass storage device that pops up on the pc.

I don't know if USB to PC has that option, but I do know WM5torage has the option that allows you to select the Microdrive. I know it isn't exactly what you are looking for, but you might give it a shot and see if it scratches your itch.

Thanks ! I just tested and it's working fine !
Well, for the beauty of finding a solution, you can still help me with the usbtopc program but I consider the wm5storage as an excellent solution !
edit: well actually WM5storage is giving me some trouble. I can't copy big files (350 Mo) directly and the device appears as empty on the computer after a failed transfer of one of those big files...
edit2: the solution might be there, I'll report after testing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2176131&postcount=3
edit3: it's getting worse... activesync doesn't work anymore. My Usbtopc is switched back to activesync and I get an "attention required" message in activesync :
"Connection not valid: Cannot open the connection "57600 Default". This connection is no longer valid or does not exist. Select a different conenction and try again."
However in the options, the selected and only choice is USB.
Am I screwed ? Should I reflash the ROM ?
Once I sort this ActiveSync/USBToPc thing, I still have the will to have the french keyboard layout (I don't care about the OS language but I do about the hard keyboard layout).
If I reflash, should I choose :
- 5-21-08 UPDATE!! AP4 VANILLA 4 SPL1.2 Windows Mobile 6.1 for spl 1.2 and 3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2176131#post2176131
- HTC French WM6 ROM SPL 3.5 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9Y2SRNVN (from the same page)
- Athena Project Official ROM and SPL 3.5 upgrade - The Final Release http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387409
What's the difference between the 1st and the 3rd ? I use the 3rd, would it be better to flash the 1st ?
The 2nd is an official rom ? It's more stable ? Is it still WM6.1 ?
Thanks and sorry for being such a noob, I was using a Trinity before and the Athena is more complex on many aspects.
I will suggest to flash AP4 to have SPL 3.5, then upgrade to the latest Michy 6.0 if you like the manila 2d interface, or MICHY 5.1 to have a fast and stable, full optional, ROM .
I've tested ALL ROMs here, and My athena is almost perfect in the 5.1, SPL 3.5, Michy's ROM
Damn, sorry my suggestion messed up your ActiveSync. I have never had that problem with WM5torage...
Anyway, I have two suggestions:
1) I recommend flashing only as a last resort. Everyone here is really helpful, but there is always a small chance that you will brick your machine in the process. Try other things first - uninstall WM5torage and softreset; or even a hardrest. If you flash with a different ROM you will lose your hardware keyboard settings.
2) If you do flash, I suggest you make a note of your hardware keyboard registry settings. Then after you flash you can reset them. I searched a little for information on where they may be, but I can't seem to find much.
I speak from experience. I flashed and lost my hardware keyboard settings (Japanese). Luckily, I hate my hardware keyboard and never used it anyway.
As far as ROMs, Sergiopi is right. 3.5 to AP4, then Michy's. Personally, I use 4.1. Both 4.1 and 5.1 are almost completely bug-free, stocked with useful software, and super-fast. I turn off sounds for events, turn off all today screen items, and almost every button I press gives smooth, instantaneous results.
Thanks for your help, I flashed Michy 5.1 and I have to say it seems to be a good rom !
I could chose the french hardware keyboard layout with an embedded utility.
Still have some wifi issues (not the same so it might be my personnal network) and I mistakenly sync'ed my windows live contacts with my outlook contacts which is annoying.
Anyway, thank you !
