You could check the contents of your \Windows\Startup to see if there's a third-party app trying to access it. (Or the other three places: HKLM/Services, HKLM/init and the Today plug-ins. See the Safe Mode Bible at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1255&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for more info on this.)
I think it's a third party app problem, not that of Windows Mobile

Well, I have just gone through the Windows/start folder and have found that I can provoke the problem to appear by running XCPCSynchSvr_101.ink which is a link to windowss\101\XCPCSynchSvr.exe
Any idea what this is ? Could it be related to XTNDConnect which I use for synchronizing with Lotus Notes ?.
It might help for you to know that I some weeks ago made a hard reset and then synchronized calander and contacts through Active Synch with Outlook on my home pc. However I usually synchronize with my work pc which uses Lotus Notes.
Would the solution be to simply just uninstall the XTNDConnect program since Im not using Lotus Notes anymore ?

Most probably. Alternatively, you can just move the link to somewhere else and reset the device. Then, you will still be able to start XTNDConnect when you do need it by simply tapping it.

Is this the Messenger only ? Or is this the complete Live package which also has a plugin on the Todayscreen...?
And does it still mix the MSN contacts with the Outlook ones ? (ie. double entries)

Complete Package with today plugin.

Hi delivery1979,
just a simple question: is it better to install it in the phone mem or it works fine in sd card also ?
Thank you in advance ,
M
p.s. I solve my doubt: the program didn't ask me anything. thanks, M.

As a general rule, install all applications that "attach" themself to the OS(like today-plugins, fix', theme-managers etc and everything else that is loaded automaticly when booting up) to the phone, and everything else(games, GPS, ++) to the storagecard... That way, you won't get errors if you take out/loose/break the SD-card

it does not work on my wm6 device

Don' work too on my lastest HTC rom FRA with GPS.
:-(

what kind of problems you have?

LIve Messanger sucks because it syncronize with the name on your Contact folder so you will have a lot of MSN ID in the contact folder... And if you try to delete the new add on contacts folder you loose it on MSN too

THe cab don't install on the PDA :-(

Its working on my Trinity WM5 with new official GPS enabled ROM. But it has messed up my contatcs with adding all msn IDs there. Now I have deleted those from my contacts but fearing signing in again into Live Messenger on trinity, in case I loose all IDs in messenger as well.
The other problem is, I can only sign in if I am using WiFi to connect to internet, but it doesn't sign in if I use GPRS/3G data connection of the network provider. WHY ????

on mine its sign in with both gprs and wifi when my wifi is on

For other drives they can't connect by using Wifi like p535. I don't know why.

Did this earlier on.
Deleted all the extra contacts on my ppc.
Went onto my desktop, signed into MSN and all my contacts were gone.
I have to ask how stupid are these people who design this crap?

Had the same thing happen to me. Now that I deleleted contacts from trinity they are gone from my messenger live on my pc. This is gay.. So now how do I add them back, resend invitations?

How exactly do you install it. Once unpacked I just have a folder with a lot of files, but how do I install it as a .cap-file?

i have the same problem whit contacts,someone have a solution ?

Isn't there an earlier version which doesn't merge the contacts, cuz this sucks BAD!
F-ing Microsoft idiots

The trick seems to be that once you've synced all contacts to the desktop, you start merging the rest of the contactinfo of existing contacts to their MSN-counterparts, so you get an 'MSN-enabled' contact. After that you delete the old version of that contact and you should be fine...
But then again; i've got that from hear-say... so don't blame me if this doesn't work (i still don't dare usin' the new Live Messenger myself)

my email-account is lost after removing battery

If i remove my battery all my emailsettings/account is lost
If i try to add a new account with the same name it says: account already exists, but i cant see it.
so the only way is to choose a new name for my account.
does someone have a solution?

you can repair the mail account using mailaccountrepair, download it from http://nicolasmauri.blogspot.com/
I have the same problem
I still don't understand why it happen
other solution, which doesn't fit BA, is to shut down the device after setting the account -> has to do something with the registry

perfect, i'll try it on the weekend.
thanks.

I have same problem.
I use Nicolas Mauri MailAccountRepair, and It works perfectly.
It is easy to use, just run the .exe file on my BA, and voila. My gmail account appear again.
@ adotan : Thanks for sharing.

Thanks
Hi...
I Have sape problem in my htc prophet i'll download it and tray it.
Thankssssss.............

guys, install flexmail 2007.
and be happy with no more account loss.

i used the mail repair app, it works but my phone seem to freeze a lot lately. im not sure though if the cause is that program, but the freezing begins when i turn off the wifi then when i turn it on again, it takes a very long time to connect and opening other programs on the phone would cause much longer freezing, which just started happening now after i used the mail repair thingy. i even tried deleting the app, but the problem is still there. help guys.

8528 Running extremely slow! Its having a major meltdown! Please help!

I am ready to throw my phone against the wall!
All of a sudden about 2 days ago my phone began to run extremely slow. I cant even describe how slow it was. If I tried to send a 8 word text and after the 4th letter or so it would simply stop recognizing keyboard input. Its acting like its low on ram but I have plenty of memory. If I let it sit, turned on, for a 10 mins or so it might finally show the text so I could then send it. Also, the internet stopped working and it wouldnt connect to my email server (hotmail). I did a hard reset, soft reset and nothing worked. Its acting like it has a virus or something.
Cut to today, I thought I could just reflash it with Black Satin Medium and it would fix everything. It always seemed like a good program and I never had any problems before so I thought I could just reinstall it. It was fine for about an hour and now its moving slow again. I dont know if it could have been one of the .cabs I installed but they are the same cabs I had on my phone for months before it flipped out 2 days ago.
So please help! I use my phone for everything and right now it is unusable!
Once I get that part figured out I need help to figure out how I can get my contacts back onto my 8525. I have flashed my phone before but they always appeared right back onto my phone when I was done. It was effortless. And now I cant figure out how to get my contacts back. On Activesync, when I go to Tools, Options, then try to select Contacts as an item to sync I get a message that says "Activesync cannot synchronize Email, Calander, Contacts, Tasks, and notes, because outlook is not installed on Windows PC. To Sync Email, Calander, Contacts, Tasks, and notes do the following: Disconnect the device, Install and run outlook, and then reconnect the device and try again."
But I have outlook on my PC and 8525. I never use either of them but they are there.
Lastly, and this is another big annoyance, any time I connect my 8525 to my laptop the clock on my phone jumps ahead 3 hours exactly. The time on my computer is the current time and so is the time on my phone. but everytime it jumps forward.
I am using Black Satin Medium WM 6
Rom date: 7/10/07
Radio version: 1.43.00.00
Protocal Version: 32.76.7020.19H
Storage:
63.48 mb total
7.35 mb used
Program:
50.77 mb total
27.72 mb used
2 gig memory card.
Installed cabs are:
Sleuth 255's PTT Fix
HTC Xbutton 1.51
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial
Lexistudy

PLEASE HELP!

Hi Jim,
1. Hermes is a good device - don't do that with some patience everything will be fine.
2. In such a situation I will go to a major upgrade. Flash new radio e.g. 1.54, and maybe try some of new ROMs - Schap'a or Shamanix
- dont rush to install any cabs first, just see how the device performs for some time. Try syncing with your pc to see can you get the contacts on the devide
- it could be that some of the cabs got corrupted. maybe make sense to download them anew.
- start installing the cabs one by one, with significant time and usage between the installations - you can figure out which one is causing the problem
3. before start syncing for first time, just delete all mobile devices on PC activesync -- >File>Delete Mobile Device
4. Check your regional and clock settings
Have you installed any other software from your PC? I use to have similar problems with early versions of WM6 after installing CE-Star (Asian languages support)
Let me konw how the device performs
Cheers
PS. It is recomended after fresh flash of ROM to hardreset the device imediatley and only then start installations od applications

I just installed Schap's WM6 Pro 4.20 ROM and its running much better. It looks to be a great program. I wish the clock wasnt so huge but it all seems to run great.
I still cant get my contacts to sync though. When I put my device name in there and connect using activesync it keeps changing the device name to WM_Owner.
Im playing with it. Any more suggestions could be helpful.
The regional settings were off. So the clock is now good.

Glad to hear that the device start running better
re sync issue - did you delete all mobile devices on Microsoft ActiveSync? after that you should be able to establishe a new partnership between the PC and PPC - then everything must work fine

But if i delete all of my mobile devices it will erase my saved info then my contacts will be lost for ever wont they?

You dont delete any info on your PC, only the partnership between PC and Pocket PC. This will not affect your contacts. After that should establish a new partnership - choosing all settings etc., and everything must be fine.
WARNING! Better first archive your contacts and then proceed.

I deleted one of the two relationships, WM_Owner, and it deleted the folder on my pc with all the info in it. I haven't deleted the WM_James_Klafe2 relationship yet because that's the one that should have all my contact info it it. that was the name of my phone before I installed schap's 4.2
I have it backed up, should I just delete it and see what happens when I reconnect it? should I name my 8525 WM_James_Klafe2 again?
I hate creating more clutter but I started a new thread that specially relates to this problem.

Hi Jimbo69ny,
Personally I test almost every new rom for Hermes, and every time there is a new rom on my device I do three things:
1. name the phone - e.g. WM_James_Klafe2
2. delete partnerships on the PC - do not do any backup etc.
3. establishing new partnership between the pc and ppc
thats all!
All my contacts are synced with no problem, including notes, and other stuff defined for synchronization. in fact your contacts are stored in outlook, and deleteing the partnership do not affects them at all
Cheers

so what if I don't have outlook installed anymore? does that mean I lost my contacts? does someone a copy of office that has outlook in it someone could send me?

Damn it Ive been having one problem after another with my 8525 just when I think things are going good there is another set back.
My phone wont sync to my computer anymore. I have Schaps 4.20 installed and I installed the cube earlier today just to see what it was like because I was going to upgrade to shaps 4.3. I really liked it but I its more than I need. Now its time to upgrade and when I connect my phone to my pc i get a message that says "usb device not recognized"
What the heck is going on?
I uninstalled the cube from my ppc did 2 soft resets, restarted my computer and it still wont recognize my pcc

After two hard resets I finally got it to accept Shaps 4.3 rom. It still wouldnt do it after the 1st and 2nd hard reset but for some reason, the last time I connected it via usb, it worked.
THANK GOD! I dont know what happened and why it wouldnt connect but Im happy I fixed.
Still no contacts though

Hi Jimbo69ny,
to best of my knowledge the contacts are stored in outlook. if do not have outlook on your pc i cant say what activesync will sync - my assumption is that you have, as you was able to sync some time ago, dont you?
(on my secnd pc i have outlook express and it syncs too with no problems)
which Cube you have installed? I never had such kind of problems with any cube.
the problem "usb device not recognized" happens from time to time - no idea about the exact reason. sometime it is enough to disconnect the device and connect it again, in few cases i needed to restart the computer - and then it worked with no problems. never did hardreste.
I am confused that you still cannot get your contacts synced. i guess you followed the steps i gave you previously
let me know how you forward
btw, try focussing on one issue only - get first your contacts synced

Basic Help Needed

Hello all.
Apologies for asking what may well be an obvious question, I have trawled through a lot of pages but cant seem to find help at present. I am a newbie to winmob having been an Iphone chap for 18 months.
I have managed to get all my contacts off my iphone and now have them on my laptop in my windows address book. I cant get them on to my HD2 now! I am really struggling, I am trying the Microsoft My Phone programme and it is not working.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a basic step by step guide to solving my problem?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Golt, welcome to Windows Mobile!
What version of Windows have you got?
Do you have MS Outlook installed?

Hi there!
I'm using 6.5 I believe. I do have outlook but it is only the trial version. I have managed to get my contacts onto there but still cant get them on the phone!
Thanks.

You need ActiveSync to sync your phone to Windows...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/activesync-download.mspx

Ok I am trying to use the Active sync with no luck at all.
I am getting support code: 0x80004005
Any help?

Is the phone in ActiveSync mode also? You should get a window on the phone open when you plug it into USB.

As far as I know the phone is in active sync mode. When I connect it to the laptop, a pop up box appears about instaling drivers etc. I a apparently missing mdismpx.sys file? I cant seem to get the active sync on my laptop to detect my actual handset?

Is this any help?

I have had a look at that link, cheers. Still no joy at all though. I have reset the phone back to factory settings and I am still baffled. I'm going to give up for now I'm afraid.
