Pop up messages - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I've been trying to install numerous types of weather programs and have finally got one working.
I've deleted them through the "remove program" button but it seems that there might be a couple of exe files remaining somewhere and they keep trying to open. Hence, the annoying pop up messages.
Msg says-
cannot execute \program files\nrg\chromeminiweather\monitor.exe
Can anyone tell me where and how I can find this without doing a hard reset? The soft reset doesn't do anything.
Thanks

You need to use the file explorer and check in the Windows/Startup folder to see if there are any there.... Also you can use MemMaid or SKTools to try to uninstall them there too, as well as the Start/Settings/System/Remove Program.
You may also find them in the Windows folder.....

most likely it's a shortcut in windows\startup
delete it and reset

Is there anymore to it when deleating a file?

I have searched w/o results.
When deleting a file on my storage sd card, I simply hold the styles down on it and select "delete". Is it that simple or is there another place it is stored that I need to go remove? The reason I ask is that being a new tilt owner, I am trying out different program/files to see which ones I want to keep. So I am adding and deleting files. I do understand that if it is a file that I am wanting to delete, I need to go to add & remove programs etc. Just looking for a way to COMPLETLY remove a file or program from my tilt once I decide to remove it w/o doing a hard reset.
Also seems like most of the time I check task manager on the top right corner, I noticed that the act syn is running, how do I keep this from running in the background. I keep stopping it but it seems to running when I check it later. I do have kaisertweak installed.
thanks

deleting e file and removing a program are two different things. wich one u are asking about?
deleting a file!
Just want to make sure of how to completely delete a file?
Windows Mobile is not like the desktop versions of Windows when it comes to deleting. The file is not sent to any sort of recycle bin. Once you delete it in the way you described, it is gone.
Thank you for your response
Scott
Resco explorer adds a "recycle bin" feature when u remove items using the program if you want one

Tilt uninstalls programs, but not really...

OK, so it seems that just about every time i want to uninstall/upgrade a program on my tilt (not cracked, only bypassed the att crapification...er, customization).
what happens is, certain programs (most recently cetwit) will not fully uninstall when i goto remove them from remove programs. it says this and asks if i wish to remove the program from the list of installed programs, and i usually say yes. that program is still listed when i goto start/programs, and the program files are still safe and secure in the program files folder through file explorer.
the worst part is, when i try to reinstall/install an updated version, it shows two icons in my programs list, which is very frustrating...enough so that it causes me to hard reset and reinstall everything over again. i've run registry and junk file cleaners to no avail.
is there any way to COMPLETELY remove a program in this situation, or am i required to hard reset each time it happens?
maybe here i will also ask for a good registry cleaner that knows what to kill and what to leave...
sktools wiped out some important things, had to hard reset and start over because even my backup app couldnt fully recover.
Get a file explorer, delete the program's folder in Program files, delete the shortcut in the start menu and most of it is done. You can then use a reg cleaner to remove the last remains in the registry.
That has happened to me with a couple of programs, I'd blame the programs rather than WM.
I have a similar issue. I've removed the program folders, shortcuts, registry entries, etc. but the programs still appear in the remove programs list under settings / system. Although it's not causing me any problems per se it is really annoying. If anyone knows how to fix it I'd love to know.
on pc's the list in add/remove
is
located in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
would asume that they are stored in reg on pda's too
I've had that happen a few times also, what usually fixed it besides manually deleting the folders and shortcuts, is to remove it in add/remove programs in activesync. Just check the box that says to delete from handheld and desktop.
I've tried that - using AS to remove the applications - but it still doesn't work. They all show up with a size of 0.0K but removing the tick in the box and selecting the remove from both device and computer option does nothing - they still show up in the list on both devices.

what program exactly, because I believe that some of them have this problem
programs
MAME CE3 and Concrete software bowling, i have uninstalled them no problem but it wont remove the from the add remove list and i dont know how to, thanks.
In similar cases, I use SKTools, an excellent program.
Here is the link http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
I want to know why certain programs don't uninstall 100% even when it was installed and uninstalled correctly meaning the name still shows in the list as installed and there's no file traces left.
I have installed the SK Tools, but I cant seem to find how to do it, any instruction or fixes pls, thanks
In the registry, HKLM\Software\Apps if I remember well.
nope, apps still showing in "remove programs list" even though they were uninstalled like anything else

Before starting, I would recommend a backup, just in case.
On the main SKT opening screen, go to
- left soft key "Category"
- select "Maintenance"
- select "Installed Programs"
- after a short search, SKT displays the list of all your installed apps
- when you point your stylus on the app you want to completely delete, you will see all its installed components in the lower half of the screen (a good thing at this point is to make a screen capture so in the worst case you can manually delete the remains, but normally it shouldn't be necessary, SKT usually doing a better removal job than the default remover)
- make sure that all boxes are unchecked, except the one you want to delete, and then go to left soft key "Action" and select "Uninstall marked".
I always just go into File Explorer/Windows/Start Menu/Programs
Then remove broken links from there.
He means removing the entries from the add/remove programs panel, not the start menu.
Tried this and no go any other ideas guys, the sk tools might be ok if i had programs installed, i might install them again and then uninstall via sktools see how that goes. any other ides.
sktools can remove it, but it is always on uninstall list!!

I have found the solution to the various posts listed on not being able to get rid of an uninstalled prog in the remove progs window. Using MemMaid 2.3 go jump to/databases/database usage, highlight SwMgmtMetadataStore and click browse, highlight offending entry and delete it. Then do and soft reset and you will find that the prog is no longer in the remove prog window. Hope this helps.

Pocket Player "Notification Error"

Hi all,
My P4350 is showing the Notification Error for every now and then. It says "Cannot execute\Application Data\Volatile\pockeplayer wakeup.exe"
The Conduit Pocket Player had no problem. Once my friend took the phone to listen to the music. After the phone came back to me this error is appearing.
I uninstalled the application. But, still the notification persists.!!!
Help me.
Hi all,
I uninstalled the application and reinstalled. But, the error still pops-up every now and then.
There is nothing in that path, which the error notification shows.
Is this a virus? Do I have to change any registry?
Please help me.
Any solution?
Hi,
I may sound that I am in hurry to get a solution ofr the problem.
In mean time, I renamed the S2U2 as pocketplayerwakeup.exe and saved that into \Application Data\Volatile\
May sound crazy!!!!!!
So that, if the phone wants to do something, let it lock the keys. So, now I am not getting the Error message.
But, still is there any solution for this?
error again
The error appeared again on today. i was surprised to see that, the duplicate copy what I created was not there. Don't know how that file was deleted. I again created the file.
Is there a solution to this? (Apart from flashing the ROM).
Whenever I connect the phone to computer, it is deleting the duplicate file what I created.
So, whenever I unplug it from computer, I again start getting the same error notification.
It looks like some background services tried to execute that path. Here is my appoarch, but be caution, if you are not familiar with the registry, please make a backup before editing anything.
First check if no "weird" stuffs is in the "\windows\startup" folder, then check if that path or file is refered to in the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init and \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services of the Registry and delete them. If still nothting there, make a complete search of the registry to see any reference to that file and delete it (it's ok since you already uninstall the program). Hope this help.
I am even more dumb when it comes to registry. (I can modify something if the name of the particular key is given.)
I could find the follwing thing in Windows/Startup
Capnotify.lnk
poutlook.lnk
WifInit.lnk
sddaemon.lnk
iLock2.lnk
WkTASK.lnk
GPRSNotify.LNK
Among these I don't know what does Capnotify.lnk and sddaemon.lnk do. I don't even know how to find the registry key which it referes to.

Try PHM Registry editor. Do a search with "pocketplayer" or "wakeup.exe".
No success
I finally installed PHM registry editor. But, did not find anything for wakeup.exe
What to do?

Help removing a program

I know at least one of you have installed a program before on your Kaiser/Smartphone that wasn't able to be found in the "Remove Programs" option under settings.
I'm havin' this problem with a program called "TopOCR-Mobile LE."
It was an .exe file that had to be installed on the device. So I did, and now I can't seem to remove it. I deleted the .exe under program files, but the blank icons still remain (there's two of them 'cause I thought I could be smart and run the .exe twice and it'd ask if I would want to remove the program; it didn't - instead it just installed it TWICE).
Is there a way to remove those icons? I already used Regedit's and Total Commander's search features, but I couldn't find any files with the name "topocr" or "mtopocr" (it's installation name).
What are my options (besides throwing my Kaiser against the wall or hard resetting)?
Have you tryed to remove via active sync tools? If not in add remove programs and you think you got rid of it then go to Start Menu\Programs with Total Commander and delete the .lnk's
You could also look under HKLM\Software & HKu\Software to see if any REG left over.
Please be careful as we all know how the REG can be a dangerous place
If the icon you are speaking of is a shortcut under the Start Menu, or under Programs, then just browse to \Windows\Start Menu or \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete that .lnk file like stylez said.
Thanks guys. Removing the .lnk files got rid of it.
