[access-uk] Re: Installing Latest Version of Talks

Hi Amro,

I would not use this program for an upgrade, only for a brand new install.
The reason is that it does not remove older Talks files, and could leave
your installation of Talks in a complete mess.  So, if you really want to
upgrade Talks using Halwin, you would have to reformat your memory card,
before you copied the directory to it, otherwise old Talks files will
remain, and Talks will not function correctly.  You have been warned!

All the best

Hi Sayka and anyone uses a Symbian 60 mobile phone,

I think, Sayka, that you'll need a pair of eyes to upgrade your version of
Talks. However, you might find the application talked about in the below
thread of an interest. It's a long one but if you keep scrolling down you
should get all the info re this program. Ah! I suggest that you get Email
Stripper or set your punctuation temporary to none in the Jaws verbosity
dialogue before you start scrolling down! <Smile>

I haven't used this app - I'm a Symbian 80 user, but get back to me if you
need any help.

Hope this helps a bit,

Amro
