Notification Error

I recently tried to start PicselBrowser.exe from a location other than the default one. It failed and I put it back into it`s default directory and uninstalled/reinstalled it. Now every time I turn on my Apache (WM5) it tells me ''Notification Error'' ''Cannot execute /Storage Card/PicselBrowser.exe'' which is the directory that I mentioned that I had failed to start the program from. Does anyone know how I can stop this message? Thanks.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know of a forum somewhere that would be better suited for this question?

Yes, that is a little easy to solve. I had that trouble a while back with another application I was messing with. Here is the solution.
Look into Windows>Start Up folder. In there you will probably see a .lnk file pointing to the OLD PicselBrowser.exe. Since you already moved the OLD PicselBrowser.exe file to a NEW location, then put it back in the same place. Your PPC thinks it is already a NEW file despite the fact that you returned the very same file to its ORIGINAL location. The solution is to replace that .lnk file by creating a shorcut of the NEW PicselBrowser.exe file in another folder, then rename that file to the same name as the one found in Windows>Start Up folder. The next step is a simple cut and paste to replace the lnk file.
The uninstall process probably leaves behind the OLD lnk file or notification to launch the NEW picselbrowser.exe file. So in reality, the lnk file is still searching for the OLD PicselBrowser.exe file. Despite the Uninstall procedure that you performed.
I hope I made it clear for you. Let us know if it works.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, I am a newb when it comes to technical PPC stuff. I looked in my startup folder and several others and found the following:
poutlook.lnk
sddaemon.lnk
Services.lnk
SpbMobileShell.lnk
None of these appear to be Picsel Browser, I also looked on my Storage Card, nata. Any other ideas? Thanks again!

Ohhhhhhhhh. I have another thoery and again very simple.
What kind of SD Card are you using? I would guess a 4GB one, isn't it? Basically what is happening is that, the built-in SD Card reader of your PPC is not fast enough to read the entire contents of the SD card when you turn it ON. To solve this issue, there should be an option from within Picsel Browser to delay its startup upon turning your device ON.
An alternative solution is to install Picsel Browser in the Main Memory rather than the SD Card.
Another alternative solution is to use a Lower Memory SD Card, say a 2GB SD Card, for faster read.
As a last resort, if you have MemMaid or a powerful Notifications Manager, just delete the pesky notification manually. Why does Picsel Browser need to be read every time you turn your device ON anyway?
Hope this helps.

Actually, I am running a 2 GB MiniSD Card and to be honest, I dont know why it is trying to activate PicselBrowser.exe each time I turn on the device. Let me clarify that it is not coming on every time that I do a soft reset, it is every time I press the power button on top of the device. Also, I got this same message when I first tried to run PicselBrowser in it's not default location, which is why I moved it back. Why it has been attempting that operation ever since is a complete mystery to me. Thanks for your help though. I would be clueless without you.

I guess the only thing to try now is delete the notification manually using a Notifications manager. BACKUP 1st is the RULE, before deleting an kind of Notifications.
Another extreme solution is Hard Reset and install from scratch. I know sounds horrifying specially if you have tons of stuff.

I'm getting exactly the same error for 'wakeup.exe' for Wisbar Advanced Desktop at the minute, I know that there has been a lot of discussion over at the lakeridge forums but most people have solved the problem by reinstalling several times.
EDIT: i think I may have fixed my problem. try installing picsel browser again without uninstalling it on your pocket pc. See if you get the message about 'all other previous versions will be deleted' just tap yes and continue to install it again. Then see what happens.
(And just as i thought i fixed it, the message appeared again)

I tried to install Picsel Browser over the existing install several times and it did nothing to the error message. I don't know what else to try, any more ideas?

Please, this is really annoying every time I turn on my phone. Any ideas?

I sitll get the same with WAD.

Hey, I fixed this problem simply by copying (NOT CUTTING) the file in question (in my case PicselBrowser.exe) to the directory that it was telling me it could not start from. Hope this helps. Cheers

Storage Card Virus?

Today I woke up to find duplicate folders on my storage card, as shown in image 1. Checking properties for the duplicate folder shows its an .exe and the third image confirms it.
I tried resetting the device and taking the card out, nothing helped.
Whats going on? I can delete them but what happened??
Thats weird.
Thanks guys

You have a lot of files with a folder icon that are infact executables.
Some kind of virus infection..
Check the services for any abnormal executable startups and delete them.
Otherwise: hardreset and card reformat.

Yes it seems like the folders were duplicated into .exe's.
How do I get a virus on a windows mobile?? If that is what it really is.
Any way, how do I check the services?

Virus can enter SD card when you put it in infected computer. Remove your card and insert in clean computer having good antivirus. Scan it and remove the virus. You can use some mobile antivirus as well. These are available in different fora. Google.

I took it out of the phone and put it in my card reader and currently scanning it with Kaspersky Internet Security.
Lets see what happens.
Thanks for the ideas guys, please keep it coming.

what happened ultimately? you did'nt inform.

Ok Kaspesrky took about an hour and 40 mins to scan it and found several viruses.
See attached image.
It seems that the source is either the RSS updates or the target seemed to hit RSS updates. I am using SPB Insight.

It did not detect the other stuff because I manually deleted all the duplicate folders which morphed into .exe files. I guess had I not deleted them, Kaspersky would have detected and deleted them.

[Q] How to (re)move demo epub.apk?

EDIT: oops - got the title slightly wrong - it should be "demo epub.epub" not .apk
The MyLibrary app comes with a copy of "Alice in Wonderland".
I like to keep my filesystem organized, so I moved that into a folder with my other ebooks.
However, MyLibrary seems intent upon re-creating the "demo epub.epub" and "demo epub.png" files in /mnt/sdcard/
Does anyone know how I can stop it doing this? It's rather annoying.

i copied it to my desktop, the deleted it from my library and added the file back to where i wanted it...that seemed to work for me...

Yeah, its not only annoying its spooky - where the hell does the file come from?
Do they download it from their cloud? Does that mean they are backing up some of my files to a cloud? (Which I never asked them to do)
I deleted the damn thing over and over, I don't wish to move it - I wish to GET RID OF IT. And nothing works *grrrr*

+1 I found the @#[email protected]# book once, but I was not rooted then so I could not delete it.
Today I was annoyed by our Alice in Wondeland epub reappearing every time again. I cant find the origanal from where it is copied.
So if anyone knows....

What, it doesn't happen on yours?

Yup Dido Does this with mine... Kinda annoying actually.

Everytime we get a new OTA, I hope for the best and try and delete. And like a bad penny it comes back again.
i have found mine under mnt/sdcard In the file manager app i'm using it says it has -rw permissions only so I'm guessing that's why it keeps coming back?
I've tried moving as well, but it also comes back, which is so annoying because this book starts with A! So alwys at the beginning. Also called ASUS about it once. And I had to walk tech support through it as they didn't believe me that it kept coming back.

Glad you tried to get through to ASUS on this one.

The "Alice in Wonderland" epub is build into asusreader.apk.
If rooted open the apk in 7zip or similar go to "assets" folder and delete the "default_book" folder. No longer comes back. Worked on my wife's.

Yeah, not rooted, but if its in the apk then it really is something we should badger asus about - what were they thinking.

Would you mind to direct us to the location of this asusreader.apk? I did a search and could not find it.

I uploaded it here.

Files getting deleted on their own in Downloads folder

Hi,
I bought a Huawei Mate 8 from ebay couple of months back. The phone is awesome. Great battery life and fast charging.
However, the problem I am having is that the files get deleted on their own from the Downloads folder.
There is no set pattern. I file which I downloaded few weeks might still be there while another downloaded a week back might already be deleted.
It could be any file like .mp3, .pdf, .cbr, .docx, etc.
I do not have sd card installed. Nor do I have any antivirus software.
Whatsapp and Chrome are pretty much the only app I have.
Please let me know what should I do.
Thank you.

Go to the Phone Manager, and then System optimization, and press the settings icon at the top right and disable the automatic cleanup.
This took me "a while" to figure out myself as well :good:

APK s keep getting removed

Hi. Just got the P30 and all is good and fine until I noticed it is constantly deleting the APK files I move to its internal storage. Every time I copy at a certain time they get deleted. I can see several folders getting updated at the same time but I cannot figure out why it does that. I thought there is something wrong with the files, but they seem ok. I can install any app and it remains on my phone. Does anyone know why it is doing this?

You should probably check in the app Optimiser > Settings > Auto-clean junk files

Thanks @ykkhern. It looks like it was the online virus scan in optimizer that deleted. Good to know
