Unable to fully delete program....why?

Ok here's the thing, I downloaded and installed a program from "Skyscape" but couldn't get it working successfully and now can't seem to fully "get rid of it".
Everytime I connect to PC a window briefly pops up (I think its something looking for updates) and everytime I explore my Storage Card through my PC I can see the following folder "Skyscape_Backup".
Everytime I delete it and everytime I plug back in its there again :?
Please Help...
What can I do?
Cheers for any assistance,
marto

How are you deleting it?
Have you used add/remove programs?
After that, check your windows\start up folder and also the program folder it might have been installed in on your device.
If it's still there, it might be a service. Use SKTools to clear that kind of rubbish. Backup first though, danger will robinson, destroy all operating systems...

Yep tried "remove programs" which now no longer lists the problem program, also tried deleting through PC. Can't see anything which has the same sort of name in "windows" and "startup" except maybe (and thats a big maybe) ssdeviceid application.
Can't see anything in my book about SKTools I assume its a download?
Will have a search through the forum database and so on
Thanks for your input V.

Yep, sktools is a download.
Is the window that's popping up on the pc or the pda? You didn't state I think.
Also, check in activesync. beneath where it shows all the syncing progress, does it show anything related to skyscape there?

Sorry for the delay V (was trying to figure out how to do screen shots)
Yep the popup is at the PC's end.
I installed SKTools it looks pretty dangerous... is there any particular function from it I should be using?
Cheers, marto

Oops forgot to mention "no" nothing seen in ActiveSync.

Yep, don't worry about sk tools. I thought it made sense that the program was on your pc.
Have you removed the program from your PC?Again, use add/remove programs on pc to remove all trace, then check this program: Autoruns
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html
Check each tab for possible entries. the program obviously tries to sync itself with the PDA everytime. I hate programs that are so misbehaved and think they know better.
For the PDA, backup often so you can always go back to a clean-ish setup.
V

Hmm no success looking with Auotruns, and nothing in "Add/remove".
Was thinking while crashed out on the sofa that I might try to install it all again then uninstall it in a more stable way (I think I may have done it a bit all over the place) otherwise might blast off an email to there support....
Another day more time to play... :lol:

Activesync connecting... problem

Hi Guys,
My T-Mobile Vario is not connecting ActiveSync anymore.
Windows finds the device, the device gets a IP address. ActiveSync sees there is a device and tries to connect. But it can't get connected.
I allways worked with ActiveSync 4.2 NL. When the problem started I installed ActiveSync 4.5 BETA 2, but it didn't solve the problem.
I tried connecting my device to my laptop with ActiveSync 4.2, but with no success.
It looks like the activesync on the device is not responting to the computer.

Have you tried the USBSwitch utility to use the RNDIS driver to connect to ActiveSync??

Now I tried, ActiveSync does not do anything when the mode is set to Serial. When I turn the mode back to RNDIS the problem remains.

this happened to me after i installed some software, i had to hard re set and install everything again one item at a time to find out which one was causing the problem, i found out it was some free weather software. hope this helps

So, it's technicly a software problem. I was not planned to do a hard-reset becouse I loose all my settings and messages etc.
Any of you guys have a solution where I don't have to hard reset my device?
Thx.

There is no way around it, i had all the things like you did and the same screens when i click troubleshoot and it all said it should be working but it wernt, so i had to hard reset but i was lucky as i have saved it all to my pc, get a memery card and save all your programes to that then hard re set.

The data is not the problem. I got a mem card. But all my new appointments are on my PDA and are not synchronized with my PC yet. Is there a way to copy the agenda file or something and replace it back to my PDA afther the hard reset?

Edit: I'm now trying to use Sprite Back-up to back-up all my data. Let's see if it's working.

Woohooo, it worked. I restored all my messages and appiontments after the hard-reset with Sprite. ActiveSync works again.
Thx.

glad it all worked

Solution:
Changed serial to RNDIS! using USBSwitch, ActiveSync came back to life!
...
Cause:
Flashed T-Mobile wing with Windows Mobile 6.5... and ActiveSync stoped working.

Please delete this post... thx

thats pretty cool!
trying out now.
Seems to need a .Net framework i got 3.5 from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
seems like a huge install 33MB!?

weird, its 33mb file to download but only 6.5mb to instal on PPC.
you might want o add a confirmation display after you make a change, sumthing like " Changes made, press restart to enable the changes" etc
tried the disable option but it would still try to connect to the net, anyway to stop it completely from try to connect. I only connect to the net via wifi.
The threaded sms didnt do anything, whats support to happen?
btw tested on a ipaq 612c (asiapacific version)

i am making to new version with NF2 for better compatibility and no other installs... option GPRS off/on is for turn off/on button in bubble updatet ver. availaible today night (fixed thread sms and NF2)
/edit: check first post new NET 2.0 ver. with fixed sms threading (please test)

a freeware called NoData it will disable the data connection it will be grate to have it on your app
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility/
also grate app that is only a user interface for reg is gb-soft tweak
with this app you can set the gprs to disconnecte after 30 sec ... if you use pie or set it to 0 sec if you only use pull mail
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1123
there is wm5 VER also
one more thing is refering the temp pie ,downloaded file .... to the card using your app
anyway good luck I will send you some more .....

Whats the difference between HW reset and SW reset? is HW a clean boot ie wipes everything from memory? if so i would not like that to be an option.

[APP] WM5torage

This is not my application, it's an app by Ingvarr (a MoDaCo user). Ingvarr has released this app which reached version 1.9 over the time.
This program will export the flash memory card inside the smartphone as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk") - effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. Its completely free, but if you find it useful, you can show your gratitude by donating to author: Make A Donation!
With WM5torage you can attach your device to a PC just like you would with regular Flash Drives or Removable Disks, skipping the ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center connection. This is especially useful because it offers higher transfer speeds and in scenarios when you do not want to sync with your PC or set up sync on another PC. WM5torage works on both Professional and Standard versions of Windows Mobile 5 or higher. If you are having problems with the operation, use the options in Troubleshooting.

the diamond already has an option for this when you connect to the PC?
choose between active sync or Disk Drive yes?

yes, you can select to connect with activesync or via usb mode.
the app is unuseful... (BTW i have used it with my previous pdas)

My Device does not give me the option of connecting via Activesync or USB mode!

goto setting - connections - USB to PC
then check if 'ask me first about USB connection...' is selected

I got that, thanks anyway.

Am I installing incorrectly?

Being a Mac user and not using Windows mobile device for over 6 years, I seem to have totally forgotten some basics.
I bought a game from handango called Resco Guardians
http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...349&sectionId=7612&merch=L1_Bestsellers_Games
(it stated the game should work on HD2) but totally forgotten how to install 3rd party apps..in the old days I remember using Activesync. But now, I loaded the exe file to the device memory card and tried to run/install it from there, but got message this is not a PPC compatible software.
Have I installed it wrong or is it simple not compatible?
Also, is there specific drivers I need to install for Windows 7 to recognise my device, as the Windows 7 mobile app does not seem to recognise my HD2.
Thanks for advice and please excuse the fact that my mind has gone blank regarding Windows.

The .exe is for your PC. It will automatically add your new game to ActiveSync, and send it over when you next dock.
For Windows 7 you need to download the Windows Mobile Device Centre. No drivers are required.

Connect HD2 via Active Sync or Windows Media Center for Vista and Win7 and run .exe file from PC... It´l install your game to your PDA...
You dont need any drivers...

Do I select Activesync or Hard disk mode (usb plug option)? it must be todo with me trying to connect using VMWare Fusion, as the device does not seem to be recognised.

Active Sync mode, btw Windows 7 should already have Windows Mobile Device Centre installed form what I know, is there no cd/software with the hd2?

Yes device centre present, but no CD with HD2, in Activesync mode, device is not recognised...maybe to do with me running Windows in Virtual mode..but never happened before with Blackberry etc.

Just tried connecting my HD2 with a Vista laptop, still cannot connect in Activesync mode. Could a HD2 owner please tell me how they are connecting to their PC. Maybe an option I have not selected?
Thanks

You need to install Windows Mobile Device Centre for Vista, not Activesync

Thanks for link, its already installed (and reinstalled it) but there seems to be a problem with HD2 being recognised...did your phone come with a CD?

OK fixed it - for anybody else who may encounter same problem...make sure "Enable Faster Data Sync" is NOT checked in USB to PC setting.

That's odd, mines checked and it works fine. I am using Windows 7 and not Vista so may thats why it works for me?
At least its working now!

Yes since I unchecked the option, now works on Windows 7 and Vista in virtual mode on my Mac.
