Smile Disable button on Ipaq HX2410

I have an Ipaq HX2410 and it's a great little device.

One problem, though, is playing games on the device.

The 5 way navigator button is small and it's very easy to
press the center button while pressing the
up/down/left/right buttons.

It's very fustrating when you are playing a game like
Pacman which uses the navigator button and
your finger slips a little and presses the center
button and then the main menu comes up and
you have to chose "Resume Game".

Actually, this issue make it almost impossible
to play any game which requires button input.

Is there a setting in the registry to disable the center
button, or even in the OS or anything?

I am an old Palm guy and I am missing my Palm in that
I could play games on it without this type is issue.

Any help or feedback would be appreciated.

Thanx!

Welcome to the forums! I completely understand what you are talking about with those hardware buttons! It's like you have to use them with your nails just to get something out of it. Unfortunately I don't believe that you can disable the center button on the directional pad. I haven't played PacMan in a while but is there an option for you to change the mapping of the center button (some games allow you to set which button does what)? That way you can disable it in the game, but not altogether in the registry.

I hope this helps!
