How to activate Reader on Mobile 5???

External Since: Oct 11, 2007 Posts: 1

I have an HP 2400 handheld PDA running Windows Mobile 5.0 and installed
Microsoft Reader v. 2.4.1. On my computer I am running Windows Vista Business
and when I try to activate Reader, I receive a message that says, "You have
an older version of Pocket PC which does not support Activation. Activation
requires Pocket PC 2002 or later.", which is incorrect.

Web searches have shown that I may need the file "oeminfo.xml", which I
found and downloaded and am supposed to put into my Windows file on my Pocket
PC, but for the life of me, although the file is in the synchronized file
folder on my desktop, it will not show up on my Pocket PC, therefore, I can't
move it to the Windows directory.

Is there some other workaround? I have an expensive eBook I purchased that
I'd like to access on my Pocket PC. I don't understand why this is an issue.

Thanks to anyone for any help,
Martin
