SYMPTOMS
A bitmap (.bmp) file transferred from your desktop computer to your Handheld PC (H/PC) is converted to a .2bp file. However, when a .2bp file is transferred to the desktop computer, the file is not converted to a bitmap file. Microsoft Paint does not recognize the .2bp file format and generates the following error message:

There is not enough memory or resources to complete operation. Close some programs, and then try again.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because neither Windows CE nor H/PC Explorer includes a converter to convert from .2bp to .bmp format.



RESOLUTION
Microsoft has made the Microsoft Windows CE Power Toys (Powtoy.exe) available. The Windows CE Power Toys includes the Paint for Windows CE program. The Pocket Paint program installs a converter which allows you to convert .2bp files from your H/PC to .bmp files on your desktop computer.

NOTE: No formal product support is available from Microsoft for this utility.

To download the Powtoy.exe utility please visit the following Microsoft Web site:
