]]> Comment on Google Maps comes to Windows Mobile by Benjamin Watt http://www.benwatt.net/blog/2007/02/01/google-maps-comes-to-windows-mobile/#comment-14111 Benjamin Watt Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:31:35 +0000 http://www.benwatt.net/blog/2007/02/01/google-maps-comes-to-windows-mobile/#comment-14111 The file browser on your phone may not have the capability to easily create a shortcut on the start menu, mine doesn't. There should really be a shortcut created already for you in the top level of your start menu, but you might be able to create one by hooking your phone up to your PC, and doing it from there. If you browse to \Program Files\GoogleMaps\ you may be able to create a shortcut and then put it into \Windows\Start Menu\ but a lot of Windows Mobile 6 phones are locked down so heavily, this can often be difficult to actually do!

]]> Comment on Twas the night before Vista by Benjamin Watt http://www.benwatt.net/blog/2007/01/29/twas-the-night-before-vista/#comment-13215 Benjamin Watt Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:26:34 +0000 http://www.benwatt.net/blog/2007/01/29/twas-the-night-before-vista/#comment-13215 Yes, the latest drivers provided by Microsoft do seem to largely resolve the issues I had with that specific wireless card, although updates continue to appear about once a month for it, so clearly work is still being done. I actually don't use that wireless connection so often now, so it's less of a problem. I have a Dell laptop with Vista installed, and it has always connected fine via wireless, but I do know that were some problems initially with more recent laptops using Intel's wireless cards. I would suggest that if you've only tried my suggested way of finding new drivers in these comments, without getting anywhere, that you try Dell's site first to see if new Vista drivers are available ( http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen ), and then if you're still having problems you could try getting drivers directly from Intel at http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-010623.htm You'll need to know what specific Intel wireless card your laptop has, but the Dell site should probably tell you that if you go there first. Feel free to post back with the model of Dell laptop you've got, I might be able to help further.
