Anybody know why this wouldn't work on a mpx220? Can't seem to get it after reading all your posts...

have you created the "Logopath" in the registry under:

Hkey_Current_user > ControlPanel > ExternalLCD and put in the right path of the logo you wish to appear?

Yes ronny I have. Trust me, I've double checked everything. I made a "Logopath" string in "ExternalLCD" and put the correct path as "StorageMy DocumentsExtLCDlegs.bmp" That's correct isn't it?

Do the changes in the registry stay there after a reboot?

I'm going to need an 220 to play with, probably there will be another location that needs altering :?

Let me know if you have any ideas... i'll be your guinea pig ^_^

have you tried other logos? maybe your logo is not the right file format? or maybe try to put the logo in other folders like windows and point the registry path in that location. no harm trying ^_^

Ronny, please believe me this time. I've tried everything like that. No dice. I need an idea for a different way to change the reg.

I'm having trouble just trying to load up the registry editor - got it from the phm site, once I load it - it says "not a valid WinCE app" - so the website said to install the .cab file instead - there are 11 of them!

I clicked on the setup.exe which installs what it says is the cab file but still the same error message...

any ideas?

You need to get the smartphone version, what you are probably trying in the

ppc version.

As www.monolithix.org is down I believe www.airfagev.com has the correct file.

Ok, that worked but now I get the message 'not digitally signed certificate - etc' is there a way around this,

or do I need another version? I am on the original WM2002...

Yep you need to application unlock your phone.

Presumably you have an Orange MPX200, if so you need to click

on OTA for information on how to application unlock your phone.

I don't think you need to do any of this:

Start | Settings | Phone Settings | Ext. LCD Background image

However, I would like to know how to customize the Ext. Style LCD files. For example, I don't want picture caller ID on the outside - I just want the ENTIRE name to show up (when callers have the same last name I never know which one it is).

Does anyone know how to create custom "Style #" files, or, at least, where they are located?

Thanks!
