interrupt is executed from within the ReadSector function:
0x9aa60b34: Exception 00d Thread=9aa60b34 Proc=5a8a2032 'cesys.exe'

I would like to verify that a CE 5.0 image has been properly stamped with the
our 25 character Microsoft license key.  Is there a CE utility applicaiton

We have recently integrated the new IPSM 3.8 into our CE 5.0 system.
We are using a hive-based registry which is stored on the IPSM.  We've

cutting power), and we have boards that get a corrupted IPSM after many

Why does "OpenStore(TEXT("\\Hard Disk"))" fail (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)?
I presume it's because I'm misunderstanding CE's "store" terminology.
I.e., "\Hard Disk" isn't really a "store" afterall.  If that's true,
then what is a "store?"

How do I tell that the bluetooth stack is up in CE 4.1 ?
I've read that in CE 4.2/5.0 there is an event that can be checked, but that
isn't defined in the CE 4.1 headers and doesn't appear to work when I check
it.

Looking to SetFilePointer functions in PB documentation ... it
says lDistanceToMove is a low-order 32 bits of a signed 64bit
offset, however lpDistanceToMoveHigh is not supported and
must be must be NULL or point to a value of zero. Something

I'm using Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 w/SP4 applied.  I need to use some of
the Storage Manager API's (e.g., OpenStore).  EVC includes help topics
for the Storage Manager functions _but_ when I try to actually use
them, the linker complains:

We have PXA255 based platform with WCE42 and we are testing stability of the
platform. Our hardware is not battery backed and we rely on powerdown driver
and TFAT file system. We have noticed that after number of power down and
power up cycles (quite a lot) our platform dies. We ...
