Default Ipaq question

I have an Ipaq 4700 running mcu. The device has a time out page that
pops up about every 4 or 5 minutes that displays the time and a
calender and a small message in the top left corner "No Bitmaps
Found". Does anyone know if there is a way to turn this function
completely off. I can't find anything in settings. TIA. Mike

Start
Programs
Dockware
"click on the extreme upper left corner of the screen"
"uncheck automatically in the dropdown box"
"click somewhere on the screen to get rid of the calendar and dialog
box"
"have fun flying versus fighting the PDA"

Better yet go to the applications folder and just delete the Dockware
folder. Now didn't that feel good. Dockware is a perfect example of b-
grade crapware that vendors like HP bundle thinking they are adding
value to the Windows Mobile platform. Overall the vendor added
utilities that include things like network config utilities etc. are
buggy, have horrible inconsistent UI, etc. etc.

Yes, that IS more satisfying.
I got my iPAQ for soaring, and only soaring. What do 'normal'
people use these things for? (Bubble Breaker is kinda' fun though...)
