as for the hardware accessories: sierra 750 and socket BT just need the cenet drivers installed instead of hpc2000 drivers. get them from sierra's site and the HCL on hpcfactor... i'm not sure the HCL has the latest socket cenet BT driver though, i'll post a link to that if you can't find it (already posted it once on the forum).
Following you advice, I´ve searched for help at Sierra and Socket. I did find the correct sierra dirver but sadly though I got my bluetooth adapter recognize and working with a new driver, the drivers I was advised to use, aren´t for hpc but for ppc, so all the windows don´t fit quite well and some buttons dont appear. Could you please post the link again?

no idea about the margi card, can you check the manufacturer's site? though of course you can get an inexpensive vga cable to use the 900c's built in vga port but i guess you need the higher resolution.
Yeah, buying the vga compatible cable with solve the need for a vga adapter, but since I already have this other adapter I would like to make it work, it cost me a fortune years back, and surely it would be great to be able to use the remote control to operate my hpc!! Wouldn´t some dll solve the issue? The software does install and even run, it just doesn´t recognize the card, no matter how much times I eject and introduce it..

as for software, check artskey developer's site, i know they also make artssave, which definitely has a cenet version so maybe artskey does too. exactly what happens with doom and warfare when you try to run them? i'm sure you just need the right gapi settings for them. also please describe what happens with pocketslides, it should work out of the box. (same for resco utilities)
Regarding Artskey, I´ve already asked for help but I haven´t received an answer yet, the software does install and even run, but doesn´t work
(its supposed to change the keyboard from English to Spanish
). With doom and warfare, both install with no problem but crash when I try to run them. With Pocketslides It installs and runs but I simply can´t use the program, the menu doesnt open correctly and I cant selected any option. Resco utilities installs but if I dare run any of its components, it crashes all my system, making a hard rest my only solution..

i do not understand your comment on free memory, unless you mean it occupies 10MB on boot, that cannot be helped, ce.net works like that on the 900c, stock ce.net rom does that too.
Yes, I noticed it uses more ram than HPC 2000, but wasnt sure if that was normal for Wince Net or not. =

thanks for your suggestions... irda is included already (irda for phone connection on COM6, and obext support in totalcommander). bluetooth, well that's planned.. as is the improved msn (just takes too much time to patch its gui without source code). flash player is already included (flash v7). skype is too big, will not fit and no point anyway, same for ages of empires. you can download the pocket office for cenet package that i made,that has powerpoint (though do not install the rest of the files, they are in the rom v2.0 already), but i decided against including it in rom as it has a few quirks. cf webcam, not many people use that, so would take away space from other apps that everyone uses.
Yes, bluetooth will surely make you next custom rom the best! Regarding Skpe, aom, cf webcam, you are again right, they are too heavy and not everyone uses it so no sense in including it in your rom.

and yes, i hate that bootscreen image too, are you willing to reflash your bootloader to change it though?
because it is part of the bootloader image.. if you are willing let me know.
though, if you have a ne2000 ethernet card and some software installed on your PC, you can mostly (not 100% sure right now) flash that part of the bootloader independently of the bootloader code (neat).
Yeah, it doesnt compare in any way to the great display your custom rom 2 has: the desktop, icons and colors shown!! A bootscreen with similar graphics to win xp or vista would be incredible!!
(Dont think I´m not happy and pleased with you hard work building your latest v.2 custom rom, it really rocks, my device simply isnt the same it used to be when it had hpc 2000 installed!! But as any human being, always want more.. haha
)
Again thanks for your friendly help and for sparing some of you valuable time in helping the hpc community!
