Has anyone tried to install Pocket Frizt on a HP iPAQ hx 2790? I have the
service pack installed.
It does'nt display properly (it installs, but when I have to choose the
language, I get a blank drop down box).
thx

Yes I did,
(PocketFritz2 on Hp 2790)
it required a "manual install" to work..
extracting the files, copying to pda, installing from the pda...

Subject: Re: Pocket Fritz on HPipaq hx2790: new question: what does the service pack do?
Now that my pocket fritz runs ok, what's the contents of the service pack?

if it's just for specific handheld models - I don't need it.
If it concerns playing strength or some interesting options, then i'd
consider installing it.

anyone knows?

OK, maybe I'll try that.
In the mean time, I found on http://chessexchange.com/forum/ that Chessbas
does support this problem (they seem to send a file which fixes everything).

thx anyway!

No, it is okay on my hp 4150.

If you have recently bought it, check out the feature where one is
supposed to be able to search for a position in a game on Chessbases's
online database.

You will find it will not work. Hence you could seek a refund, since one
of the key features no longer works - they screwed up their database/web
server.

This is the email I got from Peter Schreiner at Chessbase about this on
29th August:

-------------Start of email from ChessBase------
From

ChessBase GmbH

Hello,

thanks again for your email.

application you sell from working, is not made a high priority.


I informed the developers again. The feature does not have a high
priority, but it should naturally work !

Kind regards
-Peter Schreiner
