HP release another couple of updates for its H5450 handheld series. They include an ActiveSync Backup File Restoration Utility and an updated iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 Battery Driver.

The readme for the ActiveSync Backup FileREstoration Utility says: "This utility allows the user to restore an ActiveSync backup file on an iPAQ h5400 with an ActiveSync backup that was made from a unit with a different processor revision.

The error message this corrects is:

"The restore could not be completed successfully because the selected backup was created from a different type of model."

The current versions of Activesync (3.1, 3.5, and 3.6) detect changes in the processor revision and prevent the restore. This utility modifies your existing ActiveSync backup file to be compatible with either a B1 or B2 processor revision.

To change your current ActiveSync backup file, You first need to determine the processor revision on your replacement unit. To do this tap on Start, Settings, System, Asset Viewer, System, and look at the Processor Revision. (Example: If the processor revision is a B2, then choose "Change to B2 backup" when prompted.)".

The Battery Driver update corrects two issues, one with the Standby Power Setting value and a problem where the iPAQ would not recognize the CF memory card after a reset.
