I recently got a HP2415 Pocket PC. The OS is Windows mobile 2003 Premium. I believe it comes with 128 meg of memory or which a little more then half is used for the OS and other system junk. This should leave about 60 or so megs free. I just tried to download acrobat reader (4 meg) and it told me I didn’t have enough space? This is the first program I’ve added to the thing. Straight out of the box and not enough space, huh? There is a system utility that lets me slide something around to allocate memory, but to be honest I don’t understand it. I’ve tried some web searcher but haven’t come up with anything solid, so I was hoping someone here had experienced the same problem.
I’m sure a PocketPC doper will come along (I use a Palm Zire myself) who will know more, but for a quick-fix you might consider dropping $30 or $40 on a flash memory card (whichever kind your PDA takes) and installing to that. Let me go grab my room mate’s PocketPC and fiddle around with it to see if I can find what you’re looking for.
I have a Palm m130 (Jesus, a retired model already) which I use rather occasionally, so I don’t have that much experience. Just one WAG: Maybe the Acrobat reader installation file is 4 megabytes; it might eat up a lot more space when fully installed to your system. That could be the reason why your storage isn’t sufficient. If yes, check for a slim version of the Reader designed specifically for handheld systems.
I’m running Adobe Reader for PPC on my iPaq 1945 with 64 meg of RAM. You don’t need an extra memory card to run Reader.
Can you tell where it’s trying to install? If you select the default location, it should be going into your main RAM and you should be ok. If it’s trying to install it into the iPaq file store, that area may be full of system backups if you’ve been playing with that If something has somehow gotten messed up and redirected your default location to the filestore, you could run out of filestore memory quick.
