WM5 stuck running a .CAB file - General Topics

I was messing around with my Cingular 3125, trying to get TomTom 5.21 installed on it - and I finally did. The problem is that any time I try to install something by running a .CAB file after that brings up a screen that says Installing TomTom Navigator.CAB and has the little spinning thing (hourglass you know what I mean) and it sits forever.
I tried to look around on the phone and in the registry for a location that might be calling this file but I can't find it anywhere. I have soft reset the phone several times since then and it still comes back no matter what I do. I don't want to hard reset right now...
Is there somewhere else that I can look for whatever is calling this .CAB file?
Thanks!

I checked that thread out and I looked in most of those places. I did not drill down every CLSID key but I looked everywhere else and did not find it.
Basically I am stuck in that any .CAB I go to load now, I get that TomTom.CAB installing thing and it never goes away and no .CAB files load.
Any other ideas?

I solved it!
I found a shorcut to WCELOAD.EXE in the Windows\Startup folder. I did some research on it and decided to move it out of there. I reset the device and it's gone.
Thanks.

HUGE problem-8525

i need some serious help. i installed the program Device Application Locker (DAL) and it seemed to not work. after an uninstall of the trial and a restart of my cingular 8525, i get all sorts of errors. whenever i try to open programs on the phone such as file explorer, camera, games, messages...literally everything; i get an error reading the file "file name" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. you might need to reinstall or restore this file. i tried a hard reset and i get the same message with file name ' ctlpnl'. i need help, i just got this phone and it was a lot of money. how can i fix my phone? how can this even be possible if i cant access file explorer as well? PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME.
EDIT:im really freaking out now. i cannot connect my 8525 with active sync through the USB... when i attempt to connect it says on my device, NOTIFICATION ERROR cannot execute repllog.exe, is there an alternate way to connect and try to reinstall the program to try and reverse this mess or is there a way i can reinstall wm5 to factory settings?
yes but
i would love to hard reset the phone but i cannot access any of my apps. i can view them and once i click on them such as clear storage for a hard reset i get this message , ctlpnl.exe this file 'ctlpnl' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. you might need to reinstall or restore this file. how can i possibly do so if i canot connect active sync with usb oraccess file explorer. theres got to be an alternate way.
search on how to do a hard reset. theres like 3 ways of doing. i think like holding the camera button and the green button and press the soft reset button and hold it. something like that. just search and you'll find the answer . so no need to freak out. you'll be fine.
WOOOhoo
LoL, i am loving you guys more and more, not only is this a fantastic website, the people are great here too. the alternate hard reset is holding the 2 soft buttons and entering the stylus into the reset hole. thank you so much i need to set up my device now. let you know how it goes. thanks again!!!!
it all went smoothly, i feel like i just won a prize or something. this definitly made my week, i was trying to figure out when was a good time to drop another 500$. thank you all so much for the help
no problem, will do. and the SPB programs are of my choice too. i like them.

Registry startup Entrys?

I have a issue where TomTom turns on when i start the device every time. iv tried deleteing all the "autorun" files knowing that new blank ones will be regenerated however this hasent solved the issue. any ideas?
Hey MrThumb,
Just rename the '2577' folder on your TomTom memcard. That will take care of it.
Yes, that has resolved the issue. im curious and im sure others are too as to why this does this? can you explain thanks.

The latest Diamond Opera build works on Raphael!

Haven't had any problems with it so far, but did encounter issues installing it. I originally downloaded the upgrade zip file, which contained 3 .exe files that you should be able to just copy over existing ones. Only problem was the Raphael wouldn't let me! I tried it from Activesync and File Explorer and I even tried disabling Touch Flo and soft resetting, but no joy
So then I downloaded the full cab file. This said a previous version needs to be removed, then announces that it couldn't remove it and asks if you would like to install anyway so I said yes and it worked and said I need to soft reset, so I did.
I then experienced a weird crash on startup where absolutely nothing would respond whatsoever, so I did another soft reset and now everything is working as it should be.
Only differences I've notices so far is that a little "Opera Mobile" splash screen now appears when you start browsing and it runs a bit smoother than before.

If you want to replace any exe file, you have to stop it in task manager first ..I didn't have any problems with it..replaced it with file explorer..

Fuze physical keyboard locks up device

Posted this over at PPCGeeks, but since there is a bigger GSM following over here, thought I might try and see what you guys think.
As the title states, something bizzare happened yesterday and everytime i open the physical keyboard it freezes my device andd i have to soft reset. only thing i can do is use the soft keyboard which defeats the purpose of having this device. i must have hard reset a dozen times and i even loaded the stock ROM again thinking i had a corrupt file system. fuunny thing is before and after hard a hard reset and I load the stock ROM and the device starts it to load the customization bloatwares it hangs on the ozim .cab instal and i am forced to soft reset to get it going. i am baffled. i called at&t and they are mailing me a new Fuze, but in the meantime i would like to to troubleshoot the device and get it working because i have no idea when i will get my new device. i am tempted to load a custom rom but i am convinced its a hardware issue. so any ideas, advice, they are all welcome, and if someone can extract the keyboard driver into a cab maybe i can give that a try. thanks in advance.
Flashed to RSW's 1.5 Fuze ROM and I still have the same issues. Could my system be corrupt, is there something in the registry I might look for?
