The source or destination file may be in use." error. why is this? i want to delete it because it is causing me certain problems. thank you to anyone who can help me with this problem.
that's because those files are in the ROM.

I dident download a ROM though, I downloaded the touch-commander cab and got tired of all the stupid messages I would get due to it being the trial version, and UNinstalled it, but the FTouchFlo is still stuck in my startup folder. and because of it, the original FTouchFlo will not work. please don't tell me I gotta do a hard reset to get rid of if!!!????

Having you tried browsing your device with your PC and delete from there...also use something like phm task to see if there are any hidden tasks running related to it..also ensure your registry is cleared of it....If I were you I would make a HR my last resort....thats my 2 cents worth. GOOD LUCK.

i got it fixed today. this was a lil wierd. i had touch-commander installed(trail versiom) and when i unintalled it, the FTouchFlo file was stuck in the startup file. and it would not delete. all i did in case anybody else ever runs into this problem, i intalled the original htc cube and then uninstalled it and bingo, i was able to delete it outta there.

Hi,
Originally posted in the Universal forum, but no response. So am trying here in case anyone has had any similar issues.
After installing and then removing SMAATO news reader I have lost my windows mobile 2nd boot screen.
I know its called welcomehead.192.png and is located in Windows
The file is still there in ROM and I have also copied it across into Windows again (solution offered by searching through other threads). However when I soft reset after the Orange screen, all i get is a white screen.
Can anyone let me know how to restore, I believe other users have had issues with pss reader too.
Thanks in advance. (My device is the M5000)
Matt
Having the same "problem" from the same cause for the last 2 months.....got used to it though, since it does not affect functionality....
white screen
Sorry can't help but I have exactly the same problem due to the same cause on Prophet (SPV M600) so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have contacted SMAATO, so will let you know.
Other users have had same issue with PRSS Reader and for them, when they uninstalled the reader, their splash screen came back.
Matt
white screen
cheers - look forward to hearing. Wonder if it's coincidence that we're both uk orange? You'd think there would be a reg tweakt hat would point to the second screen to load.
SMAATO replied and said they are looking into it!!
I read from some people that installing PRSS Reader also causes this issue - but that uninstalling restores the boot screen. I tried this but it didnt restore my screen.....and the uninstaller didnt remove the PRSS app completely - resulting in more searching on the web to find out all of the files/reg keys to get rid of.
I do wonder to myself why I installed SMAATO/PRSS in the first place!!
Matt
Thanks for getting back - no doubt it will be hard reset which I dread!
Have you tried that? or doesn't even that help.
If there's any chance of you listing the files/reg entries to delete I'd appreciate that as I had same problem & simply searched ppc for anything with somaato in it, so I'm sure I've still lots of cr*p left on it.
cheers
Hard resetting does restore the boot screen, however restoring a backup will give you the same behaviour - unless that backup is from before SMAATO deinstallation

Hi,
In your post you mentioned about manual uninstall. I dont know about SMAATO that uninstalled OK, but for PRSSReader - to perform a manual uninstall:
1. Disable today plugin, if it is active
2. Delete registry keys:
HKCU\Software\DaProfik\pRSSreader
HKLM\Services\pRSSreader
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\pRSSreader
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\David Andrs pRSSreader
3. reboot the device
4. delete files:
\windows\AppMgr\David Andrs pRSSreader.dll
\windows\David Andrs pRSSreader.unload
\windows\zlib1.dll
\windows\libexpat.dll
\windows\prssrtoday.dll
\windows\prssrenc.dll
\windows\prssrsrv.dll
<installation path>\pRSSreader
Hope this helps.
Matt
Since I got some ActiveSync-problems, I tried cleaning out my device and finally found the cause of the white boot screen:
Older versions of pRSSreader install a zlib.dll to \Windows\ overwriting the built-in one. Now I just renamed that to zlib1.dll (couldn't delete, because it was in use) and on my next reboot: voilà - there was the 2nd boot screen again!!
Newer versions of pRSSreader install the file as zlib1.dll.
Cheers,

Nice one mbirth you're a star - worked no problem!
Just curious - Do you know what zlib is? and is it safe to delete it now it's renamed and soft reset?
Thanks once again
P.S. I now have zlib.dll; zlib1.dll; AND zlibce.dll !

I can also confirm that it works brilliantly!!
With regards to getting rid of the old file - I renamed zlib.dll to zlib1.dll. After my device booted correctly I moved the zlib1.dll to my storage card and all is still ok. If you have something like total commander, after showing ROM files the zlib file is listed in the windows directory. If you hide them - then you shouldnt see any zlib.dll files - unless another application has installed them, but a clean device will only have the zlib.dll in ROM
Hope this helps.

zlib = gzip-compression-library. See Wikipedia. I guess the deflate-algorithm used for PNG files was faulty or missing in the pRSS-version of zlib. With deleting that file, you have the original built-in version back active.
If you already have the newer version of pRSSreader, you might want to rename the file to something different than zlib1.dll since pRSSreader 1.3 already installs a zlib1.dll.
After a soft-reset, you can safely delete the renamed file.

Hi folks,
hope you can help me here cause my beloved german forum is dying out..
After a hard reset i was able to restore all my programs and settings quite fast (got used to it cause hard reset solved many recent problems *g*).
But suddenly neither the original file browser nor Smart Explorer can execute cab installation file.
The only changes i made might be some settings with the OS RegTweaker or AmpTweaks but cant find any that would explain it.
Anyone know the Regitry setting that might prevent user from executing cab files so i can undo this limitation?
Thanks for the help, miss the SKTools and will miss future programs
Edit: its done.. it was AmpTweaks, the first tweak
Post can be DELETED

Have you installed Documents to go app??
Because i faced the same problem when i installed the app. I dint find any way to reverse it. You would need to hard reset it again. or you will have to install apps from activesync
A heads up for you guys, since you would probably like this functionality for your Vox's.

Awesome. I have been looking for this. Thanks!
is this working on the Vox? I don't get it installed due to "not enough system permissions"

Same situation here...
Hmm... You guys tried unlocking your phone with the "SDA Unlocker" app floating around ? That should do the trick.

Been there, done that...I also used the Security Configuration Manager from Microsoft to disable security to check if it would solve this issue but nothing happened :S

I did it also, but nothing happened
it may interest all you vox owners (like myself), that I have looked thru the coding of that cab and have been coding all the nessesary bits for it to work on our phones. I'm still working on the cpr file (the one that positions everything), and then I will cab it all up. im still trying to contact the developer to see if he knows whys its not installing thou (and to make sure its okay to poke around in his file!)
EDIT>>
I've just noticed the developer has changed his use of the TestUIPlugin slide for the use of the welcome screen slide, due to reliability and positioning, BUT I personally use the welcome slide for shortcuts, and have had no issues with the testuiplugin slide, plus I notice the welcome screen cannot refresh like the testui one can, so i'm sticking with it. If anyone is interested in my cpr file, or others, I can post them.
Kos letme know when your cab is ready...
thank you
So.. is it possible to install the weather plugin on the Vox? Please post the cpr file or whatever is needed to install it.
If you go the original thread in the Excalibur forum, you can download the cab there and install it on your Vox. It uses the WelcomeCenter plugin which is already properly formatted for the Vox as well. Go download it and try it
I tried every version posted in the Excalibur thread and it doesn't install. It says i don't have sufficient permissions. Rebooted, tried again and still nothing...
EDIT: Found the original version and it still does not install...

The solution I found to make it work is to install everything manually including the creation of the registry keys... :| :S ....but it works now ;P
Well, now I have an issue: everytime the weather updates, my start menu dies...it just stops working...
You guys should try unlocking your device with the SDA Unlocker app that's floating around. That will most definitely do the trick.

I already said that didn't work as the other user also said...I had to install everything contained in your cab files manually to make it work...
My bad.. didn't see that part. Well how does it look in portrait mode ? Is it messed up ?

until now everything looks good even in portrait mode...the only issue that sometimes happens is that when I update the weather, sometimes the start menu stops working...I click in the start menu and nothing happens...I have to reboot to make it work again...
Anyone else get this on their XV6875? So far no adverse affect but just curious.

It's becaused you installed tomtom and your Bluetooth radio is now messed up and wont work. Go ahead and try it...
You need to delete these two files to fix the problem
\Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll
\Windows\BtCoreIf.dll
You can either rename them or remove them and then soft restart your Touch Pro 2 and everything will go back to normal.

Right, you can use Total Commander (freeware) to delete these files.

Does deleting these files destoy the ability to use bluetooth? Just curious because I used to use TomTom but this also happened to me and I moved on to Igo which I like more.
nope... i deleted and everything works fine... i stayed with TomTom cuz everyone gets a kick out of my Yoda voice
I have the same problem.
But i can not delete those two files. Also try to rename them with Total Commander but it is not possible.
I already did a hard reset and then install TomTom cab without these two files but the problem is still there. When my bluetooth is on I dont have send on my TomTom. When i close my Bluetooth it works ok.
What can I do to solve the problem?? Because my bluetooth has to be on in my car.
I dont understand that other problem can rename or delete these 2 files and if I want to do this it is not working Why ?

Please help !!
Thanks!

Whenever I install a program onto my SD card it does not show up in the list on the remove programs application. I also notice that if I install something on the device it does not appear on the remove program list and it does not create anything in the My Device\Program Files but the program does work. Is it possible that the programs and the uninstall data are being written somewhere they are not supposed to be. I have an O2 XDA Exec which has been flashed with windows mobile 6.1. Any help would be appreciated as I now have a large number of programs that I have installed to try out and now cannot remove them.
What program are you trying to install?
It is not a specific program I am trying to install which is causing the problem. All of the programs I have installed over the last week or so do not show up in the remove programs list.
Does anyone know were the uninstall information is kept in WM6.1

OK, pretty weird. I think the best (and maybe only) way to solve it, is flashing another, more stable ROM.

Uninstall info is kept in several places. You should get files in \windows\appmgr that list all the stuff installed. Also, the program is recorded in \mxip_swmgmnt.vol. Finally, there are reg entries for installed apps. I think the main one is hklm\software\apps. It has the install directory. Apps don't appear in the list if the cab is not uninstallable.
If you have sk tools, use it to install\un-install cabs. It's much better than the stock method.
