Add remove program totally blank

Add remove program totally blank!!! I uninstalled o couple of programs and then let my pocket pc rest for a couple of hours, then when I tried to install some programs again, none of the program could install. I looked under add remove program, and it was totally blank dispite I have loads of program on it. Now I can't add or remove program. Anyone who has a clue what my problem could be??
I have an Artemis (HTC P3300) With WM5 on it.
Please Help I do not want to make a hard reset.

I had the same problem that you have now, sorry to tell you but the only way round it was a hard reset for me.

Touch Pro crashed - needed hard-reset to recover

Has anyone experienced their TP crashing during normal operation, and found the only way to recover is through a hard reset?
That's what happened to me last night. I'm running a stock HTC ROM that I upgraded when it came out (two weeks ago?) and the device was working without any problems up until then.
Last night though I was using Opera to browse a website and it suddenly became unstable. I closed Opera and found it wouldn't re-start so I performed a soft-reset. From this point on the device wouldn't go past the boot screen (displaying 'HTC Touch Pro' with the red version numbers - not even getting to the animation). I attempted to soft reset a few times (and even removed the battery for a while) but it still would not boot.
So I performed a hard-reset and restored a backup, whereupon it now seems ok again.
To give a little more info:
- the device was fully charged (had been on charge via USB all day)
- TF3D not installed - standard WM6.1 with SPB Phone Suite installed
- Browsing over wifi (bluetooth and HSDPA connection were also active)
- Running Opera 15613
- Just before the crash, a bug appeared whereby typing a single character into a website textbox (using the slide-out keyboard) would cause that character to be repeated a large number of times on screen - this has never happened before
I've always run the device with the stock HTC ROM and never had any issues like this.
Anyone had anything similar happen?

Yep, just had to hard reset then restore sprite...I was trying to play a song through tf3d and it froze. Soft reset only lead me up to the first screen that states radio version...yaddah yaddah yaddah...hard reset 'solved it'.

Does your phone got hot?
I had a problem while browsing over wifi. To boost the speed i changed power manegment to best performance in wifi settings and phone got hot in few minutes, opera crashed and soft reset didn't help either. But for me removing betery solved the case and also cooling the device a little.
hope this helps

It gets warm sometimes, however in this case I'd only been using the device for a few minutes, so I think it was still cold.
I tried removing the battery but that didn't help.
Seems to be behaving itself since then though.

I got the same problem nearly every day. After a few hours (up to 12) it gets frozen. Only hardreset was possible. I got this problem since a view months. I'm trying now to leave one after another program not installed after every necessary hardreset. Currently i'm suspecting either WM6.5 itself, vAlert or some other mortscript apps. For now i don't installed vAlert and there is no crash since over 24 h.
The following programs are innocent:
- tf3d
- pointui
- SmsReportsEraser

Surprisingly enough, I had the exact same problem just the other day. I got my TP about two weeks ago and was still looking around here learning the ropes of flashing etc and the differences between it and the Mogul. I kinda liked the business card reader that came on the stock rom and couldn't find it as a cab anywhere so I was undecided on flashing a new rom. I also didn't like the TF3d so I wasn't running it. I was using the regular win today screen with spb weather and Phone Suite installed. Worked fine like that for over a week. I got a text message on Tuesday and the TP froze up, so I did a soft-reset. It got frozen on the boot screen just as you described. Fortunately I was able to in hard-spl from the micro disk to unlock it, then I installed NFSFAN's custom rom, also from the micro disk.
Not related to the topic, but I really like how that new rom functions. I added the telus radio as well and now the battery at least makes it through the work day. Before I had to charge it mid day! Only thing I miss is that stupid business card program from the stock rom. If anyone can point me to a cab I'd really appreciate it. I get so many cards its a pain to enter them all manually.
Thanks,

I just started having this problem a couple of days ago. This has happened twice now. Warm-booting did start the reset process (I would get the splash screen), but it never got past that.

i think theres a thread about this somewhere. The cause isnt known but they are trying to pinpoint the problem. Bad rom chip, software problem etc
I've also have been affected by this and its a pain... having to setup the device again.
Mainly this problem has to do with tf3d2 in my case as i try to save a contact each time it will free. So i have to manually enter a phone number and store it.
I guess its better than a hard-reset

I've never seen this problem before... unable to install/uninstall applications?

Hello,
No matter what application I would try to install, it would fail right away. I thought that maybe the last application I installed was the problem, so I went to uninstall it from the settings menu. When I got to the Remove Programs list, it was empty! I cannot install or uninstall applications!
The last program I was able to install was this: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3646
Can anyone help me fix this, or will I need to hard reset?

I gave up and just did a hard reset.

SKTools

i have same problem, i do tweak registry settings, but haven't for about 2 weeks before this problem happened. tried to use sktools to uninstall programs, but same result.
any suggestions? i do have a registered install of sktools for smartphone.
btw, im using a BJII with 6.1
Also, just realized i cant access the "about", "Accessability", or "owner info" info in "settings", it gives me "ERROR The settings could not be opened"
however, "version" and some others in the "settings" menu work fine (i haven't gone thru and tested all of them)
I have already performed a couple soft resets, with no change. seems like something pretty basic is F'ed. any ideas would be appreciated, i am planning to hard reset tonight if i dont get this taken care of...... So so much to re setup/install.... :-(

i did a hard reset, reflashed my bjII to the most recent 6.1 ROM. and now it is doing the same thing AGAIN!.
i have done no registry mods besides unlocking the keys ATT tries to restrict for their ghey medianet/cellularvideo links. and that has NEVER caused any issues before.
i Have installed:
NETCF3.5
Live Search
LEDAlertsSP
GoogleMapsMobile
Resco Explorer
Opera
SKTools
Increase Ringtone size to 25mb
the only app i haven't tried before is Twikini (a twitter app) it seems to work perfectly, but it is the only thing i have not had on my phone for an extended period of time.
Anyone with advice on how i can go about finding out what the real issue here is please lemme know.

Hello I think it wasnt necessary, I had the same problem twice, and flashed it again, and restored the rom and it keeped on non working. So the first thing i did was to unmount the sd card and mount it again and it worked for a while.
Afterwards I format microSD card- FAT32, other guy wrote in a forum with 4096.
here is the link hope it works for you

Zenonia doesn't start :(

Hi
I have some trouble with Zenonia.
I'm using Artemis ROM 8.0 with Manila 2012 and WinMo 6.5.3
If I want to start Zenonia it shows me the splashscreen and exit.
I can't get this to work.
It worked a few days ago perfectly (have a char on level 78).
Someone can help me?!

What I noticed is that Zenonia only works right after a fresh boot. Like turn your phone on, then immediately start the game and it should work. That's how I play it. If you do anything else on your phone for some reason it immediately exits

U know I had this exact problem just today..)))
I was at 40th lvl..then in resco manager while doing some cleanings I accidentally deleted(to the bin) my Zenonia folder...when I restored it..Zenonia just stopped booting(it started with a startscreen then crached)..I tryed to reinstall it couple times..then I completely deleted it on the phone including the registry..reinstalled..still didnt work(I backed up my saves tho!!)..
so in the end I did the hard reset(this time I backed up the whole stuff)..reinstalled the game..and it worked!

i notices that to that i have to softreset my phone to play zenonia.
but this time this way dont work
a restore of a backup didnt change anything.
i will not do a hard reset, because i have to spend a whole day to reconfigure my HD2.
it would be great if there are other solutions for this problem out there.

Man with SPB BACKUP u can back up all your parameters and all your software..then make it exact as it used to be..
anyway..for me it was the only solution..

impossible for me to get it working ...
even just after a fresh boot ...
any ideas ?

This problem is caused by the taskbar used by what ever rom your on, the most common problem is with the NRGZ roms, apparently the dinik glass version has no problems with zenonia, try installing a different taskbar icon set maybe that will work

Samsung sgh-i780 stuck on vibrate mode

Hello,
In the last few months, I have experienced a strange problem:
Sometimes, when I turn off the ringer and use on vibration, the phone seems to stuck on this mode even if I turn the ringer back on. I cannot play any kind of sound until I restart my phone. To solve this problem once and for all, I have performed hard reset, however the problem persists.
I miss very important calls as a result of this problem, is there a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

I remember a friend having this issue. I seem to remember the solution.
explore to application data/volatile and delete all files within folder and soft reset.
If you don't feel safe about it first copy or move all files to a new folder on your sdcard before deleting.
hope it helps.
good day.

I saw this solution in another forum and it did not work. Besides, I had performed a hard reset so all my phone memory was deleted, however the problem returned.
Maybe the problem is on the SD card or something.

What type of results do you get plugging the head phone adapter in and out? But only when the lack of sound occurs.
And any suspect software installs recently?
good day.

I need to wait until the problem reoccures to check with the headphones.
The softwares installed on my device are:
Opera mobile
Opera mini
SPB Time
SPB Mobile
S2U2 (I have unistalled it for now to check if it has something to do with my problem)
* I think the problem began after I had restored my phone using SPB backup a few months ago, however I am not sure 100%
Thanks again
