Tech From an E-booker’s Viewpoint

Several applications and tips have been added to the DT375 site since I last visited.  Yesterday I mentioned EzBackup.  I was able to install without a problem, however when I tried to create a backup, options were limited.  When I chose full backup it attempted to backup my storage card files along with everything else.  So I cancelled the backup and had to select files individually.  This took quite a while not to mention tedious.  If anyone knows how to do this better, please let me know.  I tried to test my backup by recreating my reset issue when pressing the power button, but I couldn’t.  So I forced a reset and went from there.  The backup didn’t go well the first time.  The second time was a charm.  One thing, to keep from reinstalling the backup software, install it to your storage card.I also installed GAPI for Handheld PCs along with the multimedia applications.  I viewed an Mpeg4 video I downloaded from archive.org.  Viewing was really pixelated and I could hardly hear it.  I tried using Sound Widget, but I got a pop-up saying it could not find the exe file.  I don’t understand since it installed without any problems. The problem with the video could be the video quality of file I downloaded.  I’ll try again later with one of own files when I get the chance.  I also could not use my regular earphones which is a drag.

I must say that my tablet is behaving quite well.  I wonder if it is because of GAPI.  I got excited when I saw screen orientation options in the settings, but it doesn’t work for the DT375.  Instead I got a pop-up screen suggesting Virtual Display.  I already own this application, but have been reluctant to use it since the time I thought I had bricked my device. I have been using it today without fear now that I know I can restore everything from backup.  Since this has taken so long, I’ll continue with my software and desktop enhancement tips tomorrow.
