Let me guess, you switched to the corporate install? Because that seems to do that particular trick of losing the task manager. I've had that happen before and I had to do a hard reset.
On the o2 Exec, isn't the Task Manager an o2 addition that is not installed in Corporate mode?
When installed, the program is found under:
\Windows\Mobile solutions\o2ActiveUI\Modules\Task Manager\
along with the rest of the o2-specific crud!

well i have installed JGUI Phone Profiles Seriously .......
and when i try to uninstall from the remove programs it states the error---->uninstall unsuccessful as the program is in use, stop it first from running programs.
then i checked many times in running programs but it is never in the list, also i tried from add/remove programs from active sync.,,, same problem....
help .
uninstalling jgui phone profiles
try looking in the start up folder if the program has an entry there delete it and soft reset, then uninstall. if there is no entry in the start menu you may have to delete the entry in the registry, then reset then uninstall. if you need to use the registry method be VERY careful.

Make sure it's unchecked in the Start/Settings/Today/Items Screen
g-archit,
I had the program on my xda II but did not like it. When I tried to uninstall it i couldn't, same problem you have. The only way I could do is through a hard reset. I know it is a pain to reconfigure the xda and re-install all the programs but the phone profiles really bugged me.

uninstall instruction
1. uncheck the phone profiles named item from the list of start\settings\today\items\
2. do the soft-resetting
3. now you can uninstall it in the usually way: start\settings\remove
if you still get the error "cannot delete...." some file, like font, you can manually delete such a file now
sorry for any unconveniences
Well after applying a couple tweaks to my KJAM. I have a problem now, I cant uninstall any program. I go to add remove and select remove it then says cant remove, do i want to delete from program list. I also cant reinstall the same app...unless i delete the old directory manually. It seems to me that it is some form of read only protection. any ideas ??
I'm getting the same error as well. I used to have an app on my Jam that would uninstall files and its better then the built in uninstaller. Right now i'm lookin for it but can't remember its name..
i got the same problem
Same here :twisted:
I have had that problem as well. I have found that if I soft reset the device, then run the uninstall, the program is conmpletely removed without issue. I believe that this error is caused by something related to the program still running in the background.

Tried using ActiveSync to add/remove programs?
I too have the same problem and i soft reset to properly uninstall anything.
You can use SKtools 2.3.30 at http://s-k-tools.com/ to uninstall any program you wish to
works well? thanks for the suggestion

Maybe its running in the background when you uninstall it/ or if you have it there (installed) in the storage card it creates problems getting uninstalled.
Try to close the program fully By shutting it down from the Task manager..With the task manager open
Go to MENU>VIEW>CHANGE MODE
See if any instance of World mate is running there.
If you have partially uninstalled it, try reinstalling it and perform a reset.
Try to uninstall it by going to Add Remove Progs. in the phone.
If the problem persists, try removing it thru the Add remove progs. in the active sync.
All the best.
You are right jeasbe. I have installed my Worldmate to my storage card. I'm currently not using any task manager program. What would you recommend? Is memmaid one of these? I also tried uninstalling after the soft reset thing just to clean that worldmate was'nt running but to no avail of success in deleting it. Also looked at the running programs before deletion just to make sure it is not running. I even accidentally deleted the list from the rmove programs, and the program was still there. Is there any way to manually delete these files thru registry?

Literally Speaking the best method still would be to DELETE the folder from your \storage\Program Files\world mate (or whatever)
Then perform a fresh Install, this time in the Phone memory.
Then go for a soft reset.
Do not open World mate.
The world mate shall be there in the ADD REMOVE prog list By now.
Go to add-remove progs and perform a Remove.
Hopefully this shall delete the traces of world mate from your Phone.
U can manually delete the folder safely from ProgramFiles\world mate (from the phone memory this time)
Before U try anything stupid I suggest..Please do take a backup...
I take risks with my Data coz I have it spread over my other O2Xda as well as On My outlook....
All the Best
If I have to unistall some program I use the MemMaid. These program really erase what you want.
Thanks
Hi guys, got my TP2 about a week ago but having trouble installing anything. The facebook app installed no problem but since then I can't get anything to install. I have 200mb of space left so that shouldn't be an issue. I have tried via active sync and sending a .cab to the phone but nada.
When using a .cab I navigate to it using file explorer and select it but nothing happens at all. With active sync it tries to install, but when I check the phone it hasn't.
Any ideas?
(The apps I'm trying a pocketwitter, skyfire, skype)
Cheers.
If you've only recently got it and so havent loaded it up with stuff, try hard resetting it (or use clear storage in settings) to start again, and see if the facebook install was the problem.
If you only have only the one app installed you have nothing to lose from trying it, and it may fix the issue.
If after reinstalling the facebook app it then prevents you from installing any more, I would suspect the app or it's install is faulty, and screwing up the device: do another hard reset & maybe try downloading a fresh copy/another version etc.
Assuming you have your contacts & appointments backed up via Activesync it wont take long to restore them.
hope this helps

I tried to install Bandswitch except for some reason it didn't work so I tried to uninstall it, it said that it was not completely removed and if I want to remove it from the list of installed programs, but the app still shows up in the uninstall list and I try to install the latest version it says it can't since there is a version already installed, it also tries to replace it but gives me an installation unsuccessful message.
Is there any way of completely getting rid of this and then being able to install the latest version.
sounds like you might need to hard reset unless you speak to the developer of the app you are having problems with.
unless... try installing the same version again?

Hi. You can use SK Tools to uninstall the app, and also use Memmaid to delete the shortcut(icon).
No hard reset needed
Windows Mobile can be a ***** for uninstalling apps. Usually if there is a process still running for the app when you try to uninstall it you will run into trouble.
Soft Reset between using an app and trying to remove it. Of course if the app loads itself on Start-up this will be futile
In this case it may be a Hard-Reset to fix the isue. Sorry.

Agreed, if you are using the "remove programs" option that comes with the phone, its not good.
I use Memmaid and it always removes it completely for me so as mentioned give that a go first before a hard reset.

Are you trying to uninstall via ActineSync/WinMODeviceCenter?
Do it from the phone and install by copying your cabs to the mem card and ruuning the installer from there.
Then you won't have a history of installed apps that builds up with AS/WMDC.
