Need to delete Welcome.exe from \Windows\StartUp folder

Hi There,
i got a broken display on my HTC Wizard. Very Bad!
I could use the phone, but got the problem with the start screen, wich want to calibrate the touchscreen. Cause of the broken display, I can´t find the right spots. So, is there any way or ROM without calibration? Tried to delete it from my desktop, but I am not "allowed" to do this.
Thanks for any help
PS: is it possible to modify a existing ROM?

long time ago when i had my ipaq 5150 there was a remote control program for the pc that would display the screen and let you use the mouse to touch. I dont know the name, but its a start.

I believe kking.kreso cannot get past the welcome screen so he cannot install anything right now.
;P

can you get past the calibration screen or are you stuck at that screen?
if you can get past it but cannot use the device then the program to use is soti pocket controller its free to use for three days
http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
that will allow you to set up the calibration at least.
Edit. If you can setup an active sync connection or even already have one then this will work

PLEASE DO FOLLOW MY ARTICLES!!!!!!!!!
I've explained this ALL at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...that_has_a_broken_touchs&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Tried a lot of things now.
Got this error with Remote Screen alignment:An error occured while trying to perform the operation. So no skip...
If I try to delete welcome.ink from Desktop/ActiveSync: Deleting not possible.: You have no rights....
Pen Irazu - I think it needs an installation (can´t read the PIrazu.txt). But I can not Install and start it without the screen.
ThinkOutside Stowaway Travel Mouse ? Can not find it anymore. Probably they don´t sell it anymore. Does another BT-Mouse works?
I am not sure, if I will pass ever this stupid "help"!
Thanks anyway

Yup, with TekSoft's BlueMouse.

I did it! No Calibration- & Welcome-Screen!
OK last my whole weekend, but now i know how to fix it. I used the Trail from SOTI´s Pocket Controller Pro. You need to have it working with ActiveSync. If you can see Your Wizard in your explorer, it will work!
1. Install the Programm on the PC.
2. Try to connect, it says not installet software on PDA and ask to do so: YES.
3. The Welcome-Screen is still there, but don´t care about it. The Softwareinstallation works "behind the scene". just press the left software key twice, wait 15 seconds and then press middle button. now you have it installed!
4. Connect now SOTI´s Pocket Controller Pro with your PDA.
5. You will see now on your Desktop the PDA-screen with the calibrationscreen.
Go on SOTI´s Pocket Controller Pro to "Home" and there is on the right side the DOS-button. Klick it!
6. type: "cd windows", press enter, type "cd startup", press enter, type "del welcome.lnk", press enter.
7. make a software reset.
8. After the reboot, you wont see the calibration screen anymore!
have fun
Kresi

do you have the program installed and can you give it to me installed
i have an x51v and cant install it with the buttons i dont know why but however
say me where i have to put it and then maybe it works

It Worked for me too!
The steps described above worked on a samsung intrepid as well.
only thing i did differently was that i had to reboot my phone after installing the pocket pro software.

Hello

How do you bypass first setup/screen alignment?

I've got a MDA which has a broken lcd. Its just cracked slightly, but still displays fine. I did a Clear Storage and now the phone has reset and is giving me the "tap here to set up your device" wizard. I need to bypass this and any screen alignment that may come up since the LCD touch feature no longer works. I've done it before when I got the phone, but I cant find the thread nor remember the steps.
Any help is appreciated.

you really can't. i heard theres a way you can flash a rom where the config has already been done, but i don't remember where i saw it

create a file on the root of your storage card called welcome.not

At least I hope it does.

Just create a file named WELCOME.NOT on your storage card and do a hard reset.

HI , I had this problem with all my old crashed PPC ,,, so delete this file and reboot ,,, /Windows/Startup/Welcome.exe
U can use the "Activesynce Explorer to browse the Windows Directory
Enjoy..........

use "Remote screen alignment" tool and bypass your start screen easily. search this tool in forum. you will get it easily..
Regards

welcome.not and http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-...iler-v1-2.html
THANK YOU SO MUCH kfletch and le_cactus. I'm not sure which of these worked since I did both but the welcome screen FINALLY went away. it took a while. i had to install the Mobiler software and I had problems getting my ActiveSync up but I created the welcome file by going to the desktop of my pc, right click, new , text document, i changed the default name "New Text Document.txt to Welcome.not" then I right clicked to copy it. Next---Once the Microsoft Activesync came up, I clicked on Explore --> My Windows Based Device ---> Storage Card then I selected paste to paste the welcome.not file. After this it gets a little tricky because your device has to sync again to filter the file back down to the phone. This took a while. Then after a few resets, the Mobiler software finally read 'connected', then it gives you a screen shot of your mobile device, i did a soft reset a few MORE times and it worked. It's not as cut and dry as previous posts made it sound. it's a pain in the butt.
My touch screen (T-Mobile Wing) stopped working after I used it in the bathroom while in the bathtub (I don't know what the heck I was thinking), well later that day the screen stopped working and the genius at tech support had me do a hard reset and software upgrade, which did NOT help. (whatever you do, don't call tech support, especially if the white dot beneath the battery is another color---you're screwed!!!)--AFTER tech support messes up your phone they won't bother to help you if they think it's due to water damage! I'm going to see if I can locate the forum regarding reloading the touch screen drivers. I think that may be the problem.

thanks dear I try i350 gSMART and working.

Buy a not broken screen

HTC TYTN(Hermes 200)
Hi there i have an HTC TYTN, happens that i'm suposed to have the same problem (maybe broken screen).
The phone was working fine untill today.
I can't bypass the screen alignment; i tryed both ways.
What can i be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Bypassing with "logic"
Hi there;
In my case; i found a way to bypass it.
My screen has a 4mm scratch in the top left of the screen.
so i just pressed the bottom of the cursor (NOT IN THE MIDDLE WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO PRESS - "in the top left cursor" - where the scratch is)
after that i could use my phone again.
Also after this try finding the correct registry screen alignment and save it.
It will work properly.

welcome.not works for TyTN II with unresponsive touch screen . Blank micro SD card with just one blank file welcome.not. You can insert the sd card just before you hard reset

It worked in OMNIA II and passed the screen calibration..Thanks a lot guys!!!

Mirrored screen problem

Hi everybody!
I'm having problems with my Pocket PC.
It all begun a while ago, when a part of my screen stopped working (didn't respond to touches). So I did a hard reset. Then, it wouldn't pass the Align Screen procedure. So I made a file on the Pocket PC root folder called welcome.not - and it worked, the welcome screen was bypassed.
Now, however, everything on the screen is mirrored. Not the image on the screen but the response to my touches. So when I press the upper right corner with my stylus, it reacts in the lower left - and reverse, across the whole screen.
What I want now is of course a state like before the hard-reset. I can accept a part of the screen not working, but I want something at least to be useable.
I think this would be easily fixed by just running Align Screen, but that doesn't work - it gets stuck in a infinite loop.
Maybe there are some Align Screen "profiles" to place in the windows folder/registry?
I'm using a HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise.
Randor244

might it be a ROM problem?

Maybe, though I think the problem is that the screen is completely unaligned and therefore is totally wierd.
What I think I need is:
1. An application to browse the PPC registry from a desktop PC
2. Sceen align data to put in in the registry (I've read somewhere else that that data is stored in the registry)
Or, maybe I'm wrong
In case it is a rom problem, can I solve it easily in any way?

well to be honest, the first thing i'd do is switch a ROM... unless it's a ROM you got from XDA and is well-known..
if the rom switching doesn't work, i'd download a pda control app like MyMobiler or SOTI Pocket Controller to fix this. maybe you have hardware problems with your screen..
I don't know where the screen alignment data sits in the registry but i'm sure you can find it on this forum. if you manage to change and it still doesn't work... maybe replac ea screen? there's a marketplace section in which you might be able to buy spare parts.. and there are guide on dismantling so you can replace the screen yourself

well to be honest, the first thing i'd do is switch a ROM... unless it's a ROM you got from XDA and is well-known..

Well, I havn't got much knowledge on how to do these things... Could I get a brief explanation?
I know what ROM is and so on... but how to switch it... hmm...

I'm sorry, can't help you with that.. i'm not familiar with the iPaq... but I understand that you never switched a ROM so it's probably the original one.. and you shouldn't have a problem with it.
try aligning your screen using the registry.. if it doesn't work.. i'd go with replacing a screen.

Yeah, I would also like to align the screen using the registry - but how? I need to know some values to input, right? And as far as I know they need to be specific for my model
So how?

maybe you can contact HP and ask them?

help me stuck in bootloader

hi all
i got a magician from a friend to play with but when i got it i only saw it starting up and then by align screen it would boot further
ive went to the wiki and checked ive i could find the combo for hard reseting this phone(whitout succes) i managed to find how to get in bootloader so i checked it
when i go in the bootloader my screen doesnt light on(is this normal because my other devices do this)
further it says v1.02 on the bottom of the screen
now ive tried to insatl the dutch t mobile rom from the wiki but i get a connection error
now ive seen that updating this phone doesnt go like on a blackstone\rhodium and it has something to do with a sd card in it?
i have the gap for sd card but not one in it(is this nessacary?)
after the connection errors i cant even see the align screen anymore it goes straight to bootloader when i press only the on button and getting out the battery for a minute and put it back in also brings me to the boortloader when i press the power button:S (now its working and i can get to align screen again:S)
can someone please help me fix this phone
best regards mini

You have Rome. You need from T-Mobils Rome:
- ms_. nbf
- nk.nbf
- radio_. nbf
All that in the folder suspended below copy. The device in the boat mode bring (On top the left and right key + power) Then you are able to do him flashen.

thanks for the reply
got a exe file to use but going to try to extract it when im home and hope i get those files from it

stil not working
tried it a couple of times but i always get this message
btw in bootloader it says v1.02 on the bottom
and strating in bootloader doesnt work at all for updating because the program doesnt see the phone:S
i have to get it started up to the point of align screen then connect it to comp with activesync
then i got those screens
when i start the phone i see the next things on the phone in spalsh screen
r1.12.00
g1337.42
d1.12.00
i dont have a memorycard in it dont know ive thats nessacary
best regards miniterror

one more with the back sticker so it really is a magician

If is a Magician. The mistake 101 means which does not fit the ID. What you can still try to protect your Rome and more than 416 bits, a Big Storage Rome to flashen. You can make this everything about memory map. You find instructions here.

ok i dont get it at all so i'll throw away the phone
thanks anyway for trying to help me

[Q] Need help. the file 'start' cannot be opened

The file 'start' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate...
I have no idea where to find this file and how to fix the situation. The error prompt pops up constantly and freezes my phone to where i have to soft reset all the time. I cannot do a hard reset on my touch pro as my friend got it wet on a canoe trip and the volume buttons are no longer of any use. It seems to only do this on newer roms as I can use the original ATT firmware just fine. I do not use a sd card to flash.
From what I've read over the internet I need this file's certificate or something or another. If this can be provided by anyone I would appreciate it. Thank you.

The message almost never has anything to do with certificates (if you're on a cooked rom, if definitely shouldn't). It usually means you have a bad shortcut, or an app is missing some files so when you try to launch it, it can't open. When do you get the message? What are you trying to start? Is it a program in the start menu, or is it something you're launching with a button.
You can always hard reset-clear storage will do it, and there are apps like sk tools that will initiate a hard reset.

It happens as soon as I turn on my phone. It's the first thing that pops up so it makes it really difficult to even do anything. I'll look around for that program for the hard reset. Thank you.

Ok, saw in the title that it's the program 'start'. Before you hard reset, look in your startup folder (\windows\startup). If there's a shortcut for something called 'start.lnk', try removing it (move it to your sd card for safe-keeping). You can also see what the shortcut points to by opening it with Total Commander, using the editor.
