i get this warning every now and then, like today when i synched my phone it popped up, it says "cannot execute file: \windows\pocketnotify.exe" i looked in the windows folder and i cant find pocketnotify.exe, should i reformat or is this from an app i installed?
I bleave it is installed with spb GPRS monitor and it keeps popup when you do a softreset or sometimes try to sync.
If you have spb GPRS monitor uninstall it and it wont show up again.
If you get a tool which can edit the Notifications database (like Pocket Mechanic) you might be able to delete the appropriate entry. It sounds like a System event notification, possibly an AppRunAtRS232Detect one.
i used to have pocket mechanic installed but my device gets buggy when i install more then 3 apps.
also never had spb gprs monitor, but i have spb pocket plus installed. would that be the problem? i think i'm just gonna do a hard reset.
I used memaid and just deleted it from the startup.

To make a long story short:
-I have installed skype on main memory
-I decided to uninstall skype and re-install it on SD, and I did it
-Now, everytime I turn on my JasJar (but not after a Soft Reset) I get an error message saing the application Skype with folder Programs, etc... could not be found...
How can I remove this annoing message?
Thanks,
Chris
See if their is a shortcut in the Windows/startup folder. That's where they always use to put those links. Odd thing is that after I uninstalled Skype, I never received that message. I have the folder on my device, but it doesn't look like it has as many links as WM2k3SE had in it.
I'm familiar with that folder, but unfortunatly it's not there... there is only one file named Outook...
I had this problem too
Then I just did a hards reset and now it's gone, but Skype Crashes. What software have you all installed, maybe there is a conflict?
I have:
Voice Command
SPB3 (installed after skype failed, thought this might be it)
Total Commander
TT5.1
active sync is the culprit for skype
It took a while to work out, but here it is: Skype works fine as long ActiveSync is not on. In the old machines, AS would kick in and appear in the memory only after you sync'd. Here it comes up automatically, whether you sync or not. In fact, you should see Active sync running in the background virtually always.
Clicking on the memory you'll see its always on, you press stop, and Skype works for 5-10 minutes, until AS turns tiself back on.
Any fixes for this in the registry?
Hi I loaded trial WEBIS FlexMail 2007 when upgrading my Pocket Informant to 2007.
I dont like it and tried to remove it by the normal method but it reportad that one file would have to be removed manualy. Did that and now I get fil;e "wismail" cannot be opened, when ever I try to access the original message system.
I noted that the Message menu line on today screen Icon was changed when I set FlexMail as default message app. The Icon is still the webis one now.
I assume I need to change the registry to revert to original message app but do not how too.
Any Help.
Many Thanks

My experience too
I found the same thing, it seemed to have overwritten tmail.exe. This is a massive nuisance in a trial. I had found other software that did similar things and make a backup using SPB backup just before installing it.
If you have a backup before the installation, my advice is to roll back to that backup. Otherwise, I would rebuild the system from scratch.
I had the same problem, couldnt uninstall the application. You can however de-select the option that Flexmail is the default mailprogram, in the settingsmenu of Flexmail. When de-selected, you get your good old Outlook back.
FlexMail puts tmail.exe in the windows folder, which hides the original tmail.exe. You can delete tmail.exe from the windows folder and the one in the ROM will be back in view.

hey krati...have you checked your....just want to make sure before i try it....
also there are a lot of bugs in this software...
like even unchecking the default sms manager option does not restore poutlook...
Yes!. I did. Ran out of evaluation time and had to get rid of it.
Don't have the key
Just want to confirm what krati said: I've just tried FlexMail 2007 and I mistakenly let it make itself the default mail client. I found the software buggy too and had to delete tmail.exe by hand from \Windows because the ROM version had been overwritten.
All in all, not good. It's a shame they released it in this condition.

Thanks Raj and everyone else for info.
I checked windows dir found Two tmail files one .exe and one .lnk
I renamed tmail.exe old-tmail.exe and was tiold I can not delete Tmail.exe
However the timer wurred and then when I tried starting messages My OLD OUTLOOK WAS BACK Great many thanks.
Icon in both the today menu line and the Programs drop down is still Webis ( I did try renaming tmail.lnk to Old ...) told again it could not be deleted but this time it did not seem to do anything. Maybe I will find out what I have actualy removed LATER.
Anyway ICON is not a problem and I habve my OULOOK back with all histroy ALL Is WELL
Many Thanks Again to you All.

I got this email from a member here so I decided to post my response to him here as well. Personal info removed.
Thanks for your email.
FlexMail should have a rule for auto-replying, but I see you are right. I think we may have removed that before release and forgot to update the site - but I'll make sure we put that back in.
Now as to the uninstall - our uninstall is a completely clean uninstall and was tested by QualityLogic to be as such. The uninstall resets the registry keys back to normal, undeletes tmail.exe, etc.. The issue with uninstalls is not our uninstaller, its with how we deal with being the default app.
The issue is simply that because FlexMail overwrites tmail.exe, the entire uninstall predicates on removing this overwrite being successful. You see, we overwrote tmail.exe because for WM2000 and 2002 (which we originally supported) that was the *only* way to make FlexMail the default application on a Pocket PC. Even on WM2003/5 there are certain things that unless you overwrite tmail.exe the OS will still call the built in app. In all of our tests, betas, and public betas - this worked 90% of the time. But in real life it doesn't go that well. In real life, tmail.exe sometimes will not quit no matter what. We try to terminate the process with the most powerful termination API call Windows Mobile has and it will not terminate. No termination means we can't properly uninstall. Improper uninstall and well you see what happens - and frankly is what 90% of complaints are about on FlexMail.
The easiest way to usually fix this is to reinstall, soft reset and make sure no tmail links are in \WINDOWS\Startup. Manually delete tmail.exe if you can. Open FlexMail and uncheck it being the default app. Then uninstall.
You know we've been working on Rev 2 of FlexMail. We've been working on it since August. With Rev 2 #1 we got rid of overwriting tmail.exe and now use MAPI rules to do what we used to do. However this does mean that some OS shortcuts like on the Today screen won't launch FlexMail and there is nothing we can do about that. We've also had a member of xda-devs in our group pounding the app to get every bug fixed. I think you'll find Rev 2 to be far surpassing of the current FlexMail release.
I'll post this on xda-devs.

I installed Flexmail because it was supposed to let you setup auto reply rules. After going back and forth with your tech support for a week it turned out this feature hasn't been built into your product even though it is advertised as including this on your website.
I therefore uninstalled flexmail and now I get the following error message:
"wismail" cannot be opened
There is post after post about this on the internet including here:

How could you possibly put the product out without a clean uninstall? It looks like I am going to have to wipe out my handheld and reinstall. Please call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx or please send detailed instructions about how to fix this.
Thank you.

ipm.root?
I also tried the trial version of flexmail along with pocket informant. I sticked to pocket informant, but not to flexmail.
A few weeks ago, out of the blue, the view of my text messages screwed itself up. In the accounts-view, I can't expand my text messages account and it all of a sudden gives me a view called IPM.root. At first I couldn't even see my inbox (for some reason now I can) but I still can't get to drafts or outbox. I tried several soft resets and even a hard reset, but nothing worked. My email accounts seem unaffected.
Can this strange behavior of my uni have anything to with the flexmail? Does anyone else have this problem?
I am trying to run a program (update weather and RSS) whenever activesync connects. When I use Memmaid or TaskManager to create a notification to run the program when an RS232 connection established (AppRunAtRS232Detect), nothing happens. If instead I set it to run when synchronization completed (AppRunAfterSync), it does run, but too often, because syncs occur every few minutes and the program runs after every sync connected.
(My workaround is to ask for permission to run, but I would be happier to do it automatically.)
Does anyone know how to create a notification that runs whenever activesync is connected, and only then?

Have you tried with "RNDIS interface instantiated", because this works with TaskManager, and that's what spbweather does.
Cheers,
.Fred
Thanks
I hadn't tried that. I verified that taskmgr RNDIS interface notifications work with .exe files, but I am trying to run an skschema program, with extension .sksc. Taskmgr won't take one of these directly, so my procedure was to create a notification using memmaid to run the .sksc file, and then edit it with taskmgr so that it runs when RNDIS interface instantiated. That didn't work, so I tried creating a notification to a .exe file, then editing that (have to switch to event mode, then back to application). So far, no luck.
This seems like a bug in taskmgr, that it will only run a .exe file, but then, it is freeware and a fine program, so I'm not complaining.
Can I edit a notification in the registry? I could set one with taskmgr to an exe. file, then go edit it with total commander to run the .sksc file instead, if I knew where notifications lived.
Memmaid
Here is what memmaid support says:
We can't figure out what is causing this notification not to fire up, according to Microsoft's documentation this should be ok. But looks like there maybe a bug in the OS that doesn't make it fire up.
DinarSoft Support
I'm at a loss; it seems like it ought to be simple enough to run a program when activesync connects, but so far, all I can run are .exe's using Taskmgr; Taskmgr won't fire up a .lnk or .sksc even when I get the setting correct by editing. Can anyone point me to the location of notifications? I tried searching the registry for notifications unsuccessfully.
On my TouchHD, when I connect to my PC via ActiveSync, whether as a guest or doing a full sync, I find that my alarms are blocked - Tmail.exe can't open, Repllog can't open, alarms I know are there won't go. (They'll go on the desktop though.)
Often, the problem extends to all executables. The message is:
"Cannot open 'X'. A critical component is eaither missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable. Tap Start > Settings > System Tab > Task Manager, stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again."
or occasionally:
"Error starting 'X'" or "cannot execute X.exe"
When I disconnect, all access is immediately restored, no reset necessary.
Also interesting is the fact that some things running under Manila - the stock pages, say, or weather or even mail (!) - open up fine. Phone likewise, and related functions like the favourites page and the Contacts application behind it, are fine. However Opera and HTC album don't open, nor does the camera, or sound settings Advanced page.
This wasn't always the case; it's only started up in the past week or so. Which implies it was something I put on. Now, I'm one of those tweaking junkies that makes half a dozen changes a day, but I seem to recall playing around with Background4AllTabs, adding an analog clock to the home page, putting on and taking off MobileMagic, trying G-Alarm and settling on Klaxon instead, and various and sundry other wee bits. If any of this rings a bell with any of you I'd be grateful for ideas, theories, dirty jokes, whatever.
Many thanks.
having same issue. anyone have a solution to this?
After installing photo contacts 5.10 and not liking it since it disabled touch flo I decided to get rid of it. Uninstall didnt restore my old screen. Touchflo settings were there but I didnt know how to get them back so I decided to set the defaults which suddenly started to delete some thousand manila files, etc. Fortunately I had a very recent sync and a month old sprite backup. After that my phone was not able to sync. WMDC insisted to see my blackstone as a guest. After deleting the activesync partnership on my phone I was able to to get a new partnership with my desktop.
I will never install any programs which will change my phone's theme anymore.
Now I lost all my recent call history, people settings, and sms/mms history (which I hate to lose).
A question now: How come WM 6.1 doesnt have a system restore option just like windows XP or Vista so that after uninstalling a program we could go back to... or is there?
another question is: is there a way to sync sms/mms and call history?
I have no answer for why there is no system restore, but you could easily ghost your HD with spb backup, I use it everytime I want to install something I deem as hazardous. It saved every settings and contacts, as well as programs installed in a .exe file. I have a copy on my device as well as one on my laptop for occassion when the microSD card goes bad.
Don't have an answer for the second question either, never felt the need for it.
Installation of Photo contacts disables touchflo by default...you can enable it back under the tools/settings option...i tried the demo version and i liked it's interface and software overall...waiting for a free full working version
