I had this problem but fixed it by deleting calculator.exe, calculator_eng.txt, and spbcalc_p-vga.png.
Note that this SPB calculator not the Wincdows "Calc". it also doesn't have a landscape skin. I added this one to my Fuze:

Sweet Nice Vista Cab
I like the vista cab. I have been using the e-ten dialer for a while. Pair it up with this vista theme and you have a PPC that owns.

Thanks ..
When I try to copy a new set of files over from a different skin I get an error message that the file cannot be written.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm having issues with my Eten Dialer all of a sudden on my 8525 (wm5, never flashed the rom). When I start to dial a number, all of a sudden my Contacts screen will pop up, which is highly annoying.
I uninstalled the dialer and reinstalled another color and still have the same problem.
Is it trying to activate the smart dial or something (which I know the regular version of the eten dialer doesn't have)?
Anyone else have this problem or can offer any advice?
Or if worse comes to worse, is there another big number dialer that works well on the 8525 that you can recommend to me?
Thanks!!!
Hi
I just got my Diamond, as ussual comes with the rubbish WM Calculator, so I thought I'd update it to the HTC skin which I also did on my Orbit 2, Only problem it doesn't work on the VGA, so I uninstalled but now my original calculator doesn't work any more?
What can I do?
Cheers
Richard
hard reset is my thought.....or you can try searching for the original calculator cab.....i'm sure it's on the forum...
Just pulled the batt out while on, assuming thats a hard restart. Still the same.
This is the error:
The file 'calc' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate , or one of its components cannot be found etc...
Couldn't see an original CAB for VGA device?
well read in the book to find out how to do a hard reset on the diamond.(i don't have one so i doon't know i'm just trying to be as helpfull as possible since this thread will probably almost be ignored) a hard reset is like a format of your phone to bring everything back to the defaults.....or you can use the search function of the forum to look for the original HTC Diamond calculator cab file......
I happen to be at work, I don't have the manual to hand, why would this be ignored anyway I thought this was the place to find friendly help! I always thought a hard reset was just pulling the battery while switched on but that does not restore default settings. Anyway I have just managed to fix it, I found a cab file called Microsoft calculator.cab and it has restored it.
Thanks anyway but no need to get funny about it!
was not trying to be funny....was just saying that this developer site sometimes ignores little threads like this....a missing calculator is not a big concern to devs....anyways i'm glad you got it working...i knew theire had to be a cab file for the calc somewhere on here.
Still, can the default WM6 calculator be skinned? Looks horrid compared to the rest of the interface
i'm wondering the same thing.. this calculator needs a new look
btw, hard reset is volume down + enter key + reset

Hi richardirv
I have exactly the same problem and would prefer not to do a hard reset unless absolutely necessary.
Is there any chance you could tell me where you found the Microsoft calculator.cab ?
Thanks in advance
My Calculator is Gone as well!!
If you (richardirv) could please post were you found that ms calculator cab it would be appreciated by many!!
I have been searching for a while to a fix for this. I too tried installing the HTC skin and did not work. When I uninstalled it the calc.exe file was gone leaving me with no calculator.
I have many custom settings and programs and would hate to do a hard reset for a calculator.
Thanks a bunch in advance!!

WM 6.1
nevermind richardirv

thanks to TheOne_ for posting it!!
Most of the Touch ROM's (black shadow/satin, etc) had a back calculator with large buttons.
I've search this board up and down, but cannot find a cab for this alone.
Does anyone have a link for a calc replacement that is simple yet smart. Not expensive OneCalc, just the freebie that gets put ion ROMs.
Try SPB Black47 calculator theme. You can download from http://www.spbclub.com/theme.php?theme_id=41
Cheers.
Just beware: I tried to install a skin for the native calc a while ago (it was also for SPB Calc), and the native calc application vanished. The only way I could get it back was after a hard reset!
You're right: I've just uninstalled it but I could not get native calc back. Temporary solution is to reinstall SPB skin and it works like before.
Isn't the original calculator.exe in Windows folder resides in ROM? (shouldn't it reappear if RAM file with the same name is deleted?)
Is this a free calc skin, or does one have to install an spb skinning app?
did not use my calculator before, but this should really be changed.
so if anyone has a nicer calculator app, that would be most welcome
i am not using spb, so a calculator skin that works without spb would be best

The standard Calc is so simple...
I use Hi-Calc for this, the best one (nice black theme/VGA/Landscape etc.)
Look at youtube HERE
Only it's not free, who cares, i love torrents

working fine on my diamond.
enjoy!
Im not a big fan of the video dialer on Dutty's Rom's. I attempted to replace it but no dice.
I would like the black dialer as shown here:
Tried installing cab, but after soft reset Dutty's red kaiser dialer still there.
Tried wiping out folders in registry HKLM/Software/HTC/PhoneCanvas and HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin and reinstalling cab and still no dice (Prolly shouldn't a done this but found these keys on the Athena form, so thought i would give it a try). Now Dutty's Kaiser dialer is gone, but with phone skin enabled or disabled shows standard dialer.
Any one replaced a video dialer skin with another video dialer skin? What am I doing wrong? Any hints?
* I have attempted several searches through the forms all turning up mostly goose eggs for swapping video dialer skins. I see no guides or wikis for this.
Poor xcuse for a BUMP!
Beuler...

Anyone...
Anyone...
C'mon someone out there knows where I should look for this answer... Someone has to have modded their video dialer. Should i try to ask about this in General?

Guess no has done this...
Too Bad! I'll do some more digging of my own on the topic. If anyone can think of anything at all, be sure to drop a line, I'll be more than happy to look in any direction that you may point me.
Thanks!
Saturday November 17 2007 update:
Note: Newer HTC models (HTC Tytn II / Kaiser and HTC Touch) have their own custom dialpads, these skins aren't suitable for them. Do not install! You might have to hard reset if you cannot remove these skins via remove in settings
I've been digging in this as well but no luck... I Bricket my device once or twice trying to solve this.
There's loads of dialer skins but most without or no working video.
The skin you found look awesome so if you get it working plz let me know.
@jamorgan2008
you can try before installing an alternative dialer following.
1. Set the key in the registry HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled to "0" to disable video dialing function.
2. SoftReset
3. Install other dialer
4. SoftReset
5. That´s it
I had same issue on my Kaiser, but after that it works as expected
For whoever is interested,
I made my own skin for the Swype keyboard that looks like the HTC android keyboard but its only VGA portrait. I have no clue what will happen on a non-VGA phone. In landscape it is the original Swype skin because I don't need the landscape version.
BRAND NEW DESIGN! NOW WITH 2x THE AWESOME!
After a short experience with xdandroid I'm back in Winmo. Here's what's new, I'm calling it Swype 11 due to the new year:
To-Do:
- Finish Editing page
- minor tweaks/more colour
Jan 25th UPDATE
- More colour
- Finished Calculator page and almost finished Edit page
- the ^ on the symbols page was incorrect. I was actually a period (who knew?) so I fixed that
Jan 23/11 UPDATE
- I've decided to go a more colourful route, to help differentiate the buttons
- the two number/symbol pages are now done
- minor adjustments here and there
Jan 22/11 UPDATE:
- Using the 2.0 version because of previous preference and smaller size.
- I've totally revamped the previous version
- Both letters and symbols have increased in size, the ' is still pretty hard to see though
- Only small case, shift, and caps are done so far.
- I've improved my technique so I should crank out there rest relatively soon.
- I'm not gonna lie, it looks pretty damn good comparing the two
29-03 UPDATE:
My progress with the updated 2.0 version has been posted. The editing and calculator pages of the skin are not yet finished so my original skin is used for those.
25-03 UPDATE:
I've now started to update the keyboard and skin to the newer version (3.9.10.10.5032). I got the keyboard from PPCGeeks (cheers to jj62mtp, the second post). I know there have been issues but apparently this one does not cause any and it has worked flawlessly on my Telus HTC Diamond running MightyROM6. This skin isn't even close to being finished but again I'll only be doing the VGA Portrait version. Here's a taste of what I've got so far.

Hey, can you tell me briefly how to skin for Swype? Maybe I can complete this skin/ make other ones.

Hey yea sure, all you do is open the .cab with a cab editor (I've used WinCe Cab Manager, but to download it's only a 30 day trial). In the files you then extract all the .bmp files, and then just edit them to this skin (lol I've been using paint so far). After they are skinned, replace the old skin .bmps in the cab and save it.
thanks for the help
ps. if you or anyone knows how to play with the programming for the swype keyboard could you let me know? I wanna change some of the 'hold' symbols, possibly add smileys and play with the button sizes.

Um... well my diamond whose resolution is 480x640 is running on mightyrom wm 6.5 and your resolution is 240x320 so if this program can adjust the skin for the size the ratio is still the same... the buttons might be a little small for you. but honestly you'll have to try it to find out. worst comes to worst i dont think it will crash your phone so no harm there (but dont quote me)

One major problem: if installed, then uninstalled, the original swype is uninstalled, too, and causes error message to appear when rebooting phone. Error message is something about a missing English file. To get swype back to working, I had to reinstall your version of it. And, the keyboard is a bit too small. My phone: A Samsung i920 Omnia 2 WVGA.
Anyone know how to get back the Samsung Swype version without hard setting the phone (not gonna happen), please let me know. I would appreciate the info. I've searched a couple other forums such as Modaco and PPCGeeks but Swype company has forced them to pull the file off their forums.
