NZ90 CF Drivers & etc.?

[chemman]

I have downloaded some drivers(WinDrivers.zip) and I am not clear how to replace the existing drivers on Win2k machine. Will these drivers allow the CF to show up like a disk (like the MS) in My Computer? I have Clie desktop and sync lite working on my NZ, but I also have a NX80 I had to un-install and It does not work now. When I try to sync the NX windows says: "Found new hardware, put in Install disk, When I do, Both Clies quit working.

I installed the Clie camera, Audio player, Movie player and they all seem to work fine. I installed the CFUtility 108.zip .prc files to the NZ. The Clie Camera program is not near as cool as the Clie CamS program but the S won't access the CF card. Are the drivers and .prc's from Athena or someone else better or more stable?

I also noticed today that the battery is not holding up well at all. Is this normal? I took maybe 2 flash photos earlier and now everytime I start the Clie cam S program the Batt level is around 25% and things start to shut down.

I have only had this new NZ for 2 days.

Did not want to ask so much all at once but ...

Thanks in advance for any assistance with these problems.

I got the NX working by pointing the "Insert disk" prompt to the C:\Program Files\Sony Handheld\Drivers and they both now sync (infact all three, also a N760) under 3 different names with different sync items active.

I still have not figured out how to access the CF card directly from the PC. Last night spent an hour transfering 20 mp3s from PC to MS to CF using Data-Import to get them on the MS then Filez to get them to the CF. The last step is quite slow. Audio sounds Great!

Will know today if the battery problem was an anomaly.

Just used dictionary to go (from the MS)and it asked if I wanted to use the CF to access the dictionay so that is cool. :)

BTW I found out that the cool little pad with Clie' and sony written on it (below the keypad) serves a purpose. It is a Secret Agent Card (http://www.sony.net/Products/felica/) reader. Does anyone have this thing active on their NX? We use similar cards at my work.

I think there are problems with all the choices ie pelaccas, athenas, and CF Magic (the latter two are sold on palmgear) but the problems stem from Sony not releasing the API for the apps in the first place. Some other problems are just that the NZ90 has problems written into it. Most of your answers can be done by searching the forums. :) Since you are new to the NZ90 I would suggest you do some research and find the app or apps (drivers) that work best for what you want. You can read up on the CF Magic at www.pdascent.com/forums (sold for $16.00) on palmgear.com and athena's is at their website (listed on palmgear) selling at $27.00 both USD.
Hope that helps. :)
