HELP PLEASE- Screen Distortion after Soft Reset

Just got a T-Mobile MDA compact. I have installed the extra applications (FAX, GPS, etc) from the CD ROM supplied with the MDA.
After the installation the PC tells you to do a soft reset on the MDA.
I then did the soft reset and once the MDA restarted the screen was all messed up. I had to do a hard reset to resolve.
Is this a common problem - is there a fix to it? I would like to know as otherwise i am going to be very reluctant to upload any other software incase this happens again.

Messed up in what way?
If it's the Today screen that's messed up, and looks like it's one screen half drawn over another screen, this is the issue when you sometimes install things in the Ext_ROM.
The fix is simple, just click Start>Settings>Today and then just tick "Use this picture as Background" and click OK, your today screen should be fixed.
I have to do this after I install Ext_ROM programs, but just do it once and the phone's fine until I install another thing.

thanks - worked a treat

Help, my pda's stuck

Yesterday, I had to do a clean reset on my hp ipaq (running WM6.1) because of a problem I was having with my wifi card. The reset went as usual, and I was greeted with the "tap here to set up your device" screen. Next, the usual screen alignment test appeared. I did everything precisely as it asked, and tapped each of the targets. However, the screen alignment keeps repeating and repeating. I've been trying all night . I've already cleaned my screen, and I couldn't have been more precise with the tapping. I've tried everything, from reseting the device to letting the battery die and trying again, with no luck. After a web search, it appears I'm by far not the only one with this problem. Does anyone know a solution to this problem that does not involve buying a new device? My hp warranty is over, and I really can't afford any expensive repairs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try hard reseting it again.

How do you hard reset with buttons again?

Undo activated unlock screen in WM 6.5.

Since yesterday I have the following problem:
When I touch the buttons of my HTC Diamond Touch 2 (WM 6.5) an unlock screen appears.
Yesterday I configured a new mail account, and in the confusion I also activated the unlock screen.
The box “prompt if phone in unused for” is gray instead of black so I can’t remove it.
I want to unlock my phone with the slider as I used to do.
Who knows the solution for my problem???
John.

try a soft reset
cheers, stephan

Soft reset sounds horrifying for me.
Can you tell what will be lost with a soft reset?
How can I soft reset my WM 6.5?
John

Tried soft reset, no result, still this stupid password unlock screen...
I want my unlock slider back, i want to be the boss over my own phone.
Does somebody now a solution other than hard reset?
John.

do you have any additonal software installed on your device that may modify the lock settings? If not, I have a feeling you have to go to settings> security>phone lock and uncheck the box that says "prompt if phone unused for" Hope it helps.
