Cannot execute\Windows\MortPlayer\MPNotify.exe - Please help remove!

This is the lovely message that I get anytime i bring my 8525 back from standby. I cannot find anything remaining from MortPlayer in my registry (using resco). I think the install of MortPlayer got messed up and I deleted the .zip file that was on my storage card.
I am running SPB Mobile Shell, Pocket Plus, SPB Weather & SPB TIme.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this horrible message please? Thank you.

1, welcome to XDA-Dev
2, please follow my articles / tutorials. I've often tackled this problem; see for example http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36471 (this tutorial is for pre-WM5 devices and can't be used with WM5+ any more). You'll want to get and install SKTools ( http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html ) to fix this problem.

Or you just have a *.lnk file (shortcut on mobile devices) pointing to Mort's app in your windows\startup or windows\programs folder on your device. You could check them easily from total commander and delete the one left behind. The file contains the path mentioned by you in the thread title.

Rain- thanks for the advice. I am unable to find any .lnk file that points to anything "mort related."
I just downloaded SKtools suggested by Menneisyys and will see if that helps me out. I'll post a follow-up too.

\Windows\Startup is ONLY executed when the device is reset, not when it's powered up (resumed). Please see my Safe Mode Bible; in there, I've also explained how the booting process and the resuming process works.

I DLed SKtools and did cleaning and optimizing. It unfortunately did not fix my problem. Reinstalling Mortplayer seems to have fixed the problem though!

My mistake read the post in a hurry. SKTools or any other software that is able to list events and notifications on the device should do the job. Or maybe there is a service that wants to run MPNotify at wake up event. You should contact Mort in this matter. He surely can make some light on it.
Bests,
Raul

Only the non-shareware version will see more than six entries in the notification list - this is why the trial version was unable to fix this issue.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile Download?

I have done a considerable amount of searching but can't seem to find it. Everywhere I look all i find is information telling me that it was never released for download.
Does anyone here have a cab file for WMP 10? I am using titanium 2 and it does not have it preloaded on it.
Also, I am looking for an automatic network configuration tool also if anyone knows where to find that as well.
Thanks in advance, Dan.

Are you sure you don't have WM10 already installed?
Here's what you're looking for to setup your T-Mobile UK settings.
Good luck!

You're welcome. So, do you even see an icon for "Windows Media" in your Programs menu? Or do you at least have WMPlayer in your Windows folder?

no it isnt there. audio files look like a dll file is supposed to like and if it werent for audio manager, i wouldnt be able have mp3 ringtones.

Dan if you are running TNT v5 then it has wm 10 installed already.
check your device using file explorer/ my device/ windows/ scroll all way to the bottom you will see the wmplayer icon. i opened it and checked the about in menu and it is wm 10

You're absolutey correct about that. However, at the time I created this thread I was giving Titanium 2 a try and that did not have WMP10 installed.

Yea i dont think WMP is there in Ti2.

Silly little question about opening and saving files in the 16 gb flash drive

Hi all,
Just a little question that might be very easy for some of you.
I bought a new Advantage X7510 a few days ago (price lowered to some 450 euros... that surely helped to make up my mind !). I am very happy with it, but I found some strange quirks.
Most obvious is: I put all my documents in some folders in the flash disk. I am able to reach them from the Explorer, and from there I can open them (let's say in Word or Excel). But when I try to save them, Word or Excel does not see any folder in the flash drive, so it is impossible to move them to another location, or to open any other file sitting in the flash drive, from inside those apps.
Has anyone faced this problem and, maybe found a solution or a workaround?
My X7510 has WM 6.1 in spanish, original ROM, CE 5.2.19217.
Thanks a lot

Now, I am answering to myself, because I was in the clouds last night when I wrote this.
I had forgotten something crucial concerning flash drives and cards, that is that only first level folders are recognized by the apps. So a file in a folder like Flash Disk\My Documents\Any subfolder\... will be found by the Explorer but not by Word or any other app.
Just another Windows Mobile curiosity...
So, moderator, please close this thread and send it to the bottom !

Actually it's not a silly question at all! A lot of people get caught out by this inability to see more than one subfolder level.
I think some of the file dialog changer programs can rectify the issue but I'm not sure.

Actually, I think it is a bug in Office Mobile (that Office Mibile applications can only see files in level-1 folders) and I am surprised it has not been fixed. Other applications see deeper level folders in flash drives and cards.

It is not a bug of Office Mobile.
Simply: the system utility to browse the "disks" for any files, which is provided by system (Windows Mobile) to apps works in this way. If any app uses this system utility, you have that problem. Many apps, not only Office, uses that utility, and all of them have this problem, But there are some apps (like Resco apps, in eg.) have their own utility to browse file storage, and those apps usualy have this solved much better.
That means, this issue is a bug of Windows Mobile, not of any particular app.

Backup Program

Currently using SPB backup, no problems until now but lately becoming very slow, now it says backup file too large for recovery so was looking around for alternaives.
Ive searched the forums, and can find alternatives like Sprite etc but i was after some opinions from those who have actually used other apps besides SPB backup, any comments welcome, thanks.

Try this one
I use this one and it's verry good,try it - PimBackup

I have used sprite with my last few phones and PDA without any problems
Currently using the version that came on the memory card

Here is the link for PimBackup2.8
rapidshare.com/files/191036103/PPCPimBackup2.8__run_from_phone_.exe
Just coppy and run.
Enjoy!

I just tried sprite and it killed my phone. It said backup file index error, the phone then soft resetted and would come back on. HTC sense was stuffed up and then the home screen would appear with no clock, weather etc, just the slider icons. Another weird thing it said i had 99 unread emalis and sms's. when i opened them it said i had 99 messages from a William Bartle, no such name in my contacts lol. Had to hard reset and luckily a recent backup i did worked.
After all that i realised i used Sprite for windows 6.0, it obviuosly makes a big difference not using the 6.5 one lol.

Thanks
thanks everyone else for their replies, will have to thy the pimbackup option out.

Hi again,
Can you confirm if its a complete backup program. I just tried it and had all options ticked but the size of the backup is 1697k yet when i used SPB it was much slower and approx 95mb.
ie/ after a hard reset id like to click on the backup file to restore it exactly how it was, themes, apps, sms's everything etc. Not just my appointments, contacts etc.
Can this program do this?

Resco Back up
I used this with my TYTNII. It was a little hit and miss and at times slooooowww!
Loaded onto my HD2...YEAH!! Goes like the clappers and never misses a beat. It has saved me twice after a hard reset following over-ambitious tweaking
There is a trial available from Handango and all the usual sites.
Good Luck!

Cheers mate, i have just downloaded and giving it a go now.
** yeah it works well, didnt give me the same errors that SPB just started giving me. Overall compression smaller as well, backup file was about 77mb vs 98mb using SPB yet same apps,settings etc. I havent tried a restore yet but im sure it will work, thanks for the tip.

After using i noticed the backup isnt a single file but many files. When you did a restore, i was wandering you did you load the file. ie/ SPB is a single file so after a hard reset and no apps are installed you just use file exp and select it. With Resco i cant see which file to load, it seems that you have to use Resco to restore but after a hard reset Resco isnt installed. Did you have to install this after your hard reset to be able to restore your backups?

Anyone know the answer to this one? Seeing a hard reset removes everything, how can you restore a backup using Resco if its not a single file to run like SPB backup.
Thankfully havent had to do this yet but just wanted to know from others using it.

Using RESCO B'up

When you set it up it writes the program in a smaller form to the micro SD. You must navigate to the folder in explorer on hard reset and launch. I would do a restore using the "SELECT" items tab - selecting all items. Doing a "FORCED" with "FULL RESTORE" was no good.
As I have it set-up for doing a daily "update" there is only one file. You can do a full daily b'up but you'll need plenty of chip room as the files are reasonably big. It does however act more like a system restore point in this case allowing restore to previous time points rather than just the most recent back-up.
Hope this helps

Hi Davej,
Appreciate the reply. I have had to do a full restore but thanks for the tip re: using Select, will use next time. Sorry for the dumb question but when you navigate to the folder, how do you launch or execute tihs. There are hundreds of files in the folder so i dont know how to launch it. With SPB it was easy being just 1 file, can you advise?

Yes. Rexboy. Don't plummet to far into the folders. Using Explorer navigate to the folder on the SD card called "RescoBackup". It will contain a folder with all the compacted backup files AND a standalone "RescoBackup" app. Launch the app and off you go!! Too Easy!
Ciao Bro'

Ah cheers mate, i saw that but thought it was the actual install cab i put on my phone lol, thanks again.

can someone jog my memory please......need for speed shift related.

hey guys, i'v just got my phone back from htc after being repaired and im on with installing all my apps and games but im having a problem with a certain game. its need for speed shift, i cant steer my car due to having some resco products installed. i remember reading a thread on xda of a solution but cant find/remember how to do it. it involved dropping certain files from blah blah blah.........???, i just cant remember .
if anyone knows the score, please enlighten me, cheers.
ps: i was the person who sussed it was resco photo manager that clashed with the games steering, just thought i'd drop that in...

I've done so: installed resco in internal memory, then copied the directory in the storage card, uninstall resco from application manager then with total commander (for example) create a "link to" application in SD without reinstalling. After this nfs works fine

thats the one
