FAQ
  • What do I need to run it?
    The program requires a Windows Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 5, 6 or later. It is not suitable for use with a Windows Smartphone or Pocket PC 2003. Note that Windows Pocket PCs usually have touch screens, Smartphones do not.
  • How to copy a file in Windows Mobile
    In File Explorer move the highlight to the file with the center navigator button then click Menu, Edit then Copy. Move to the target location then click Menu, Edit then Paste.
  • I just get a single item of inventory when I start the program
    Please check you copied the inventory file to the right location. The program looks for the film.dat inventory file in the My Device root folder, if it cannot find it, it creates a placeholder file with a single entry.
