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:

Active Sync over BT

Hi there,
i need some help with the topic mentioned above. I read a lot through this forum and the Internet but couldnt get any clue how to achieve it. I actually want to use MSN and ICQ via ActiveSync/BT
I have a German O² XDA mini with R1.12.00, G1337.42, D1.12.01GER (is there a way to update the ROM? This german document on the xda developer ftp isnt available). I am running XP Home with SP2 and use a MSI BT Stick.
It seems that the key uses tis BlueSolei Software from ITV from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18537
but i cant manage to get ActiveSnyc running... my XDA and Windows are pairing but i cant sync...
I am also too noobish to configure my COM Ports in the Pocket PC. They are always blank, so i cant choose any ports?!
When i sync with the ppc sync tool it says:
Connection cant be established. Check dfü & proxy settings and. Then Try again...
Thanks in Advance...
smurf

same Problem.
Can anyone help please ?

ok, i solved my problem. Dont know exactly how but i can post what i did...
First i deleted all COM ports in the Device Manager of windows (except COM1&2). I deinstalled my BT Stick and restarted Windows.
i then installed the bt stick again and then installed and deinstalled this bluesolei software for ppc about 10 times :evil:
after that everthing worked fine. AS over BT, MSN, ICQ, PAN and so on...
....

I tried to Install the PPC software on the magician but it installs only on the pc and not on the PPC,
where did you download the software for PPC ?

Theres an excellent guide for this over at Modaco in the smartphone forums somwehere.
The method is exactly the same, i did it on my MDA and it worked flawlessly! Just follow the procedure to the letter... even including restarts!

The thing is when I try to install the software on my ppc it's not really installed.
when the installation process is over it pops up the AS add/remove winow saying that the app would be downloaded next time I connect it (when it's connected already), so I disconnect and reconnect it

reply yes and then it just closes without installing anything on the PPC..

Finally got this this going !

Guys, you don't actually need the bluesoil stack to have messaging and internet over bluetooth. I have a guide here that will tell you everything you need to know about setting up active sync over bluetooth (which let's you access the net) including how to remove hidden com ports on your PC if your port number for active sync is above 9.

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.

Outlook Express and Outlook are not the same application. Outlook Express is an email only application; Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes.

The tool you have should do the trick. when I switched to ROM 3.16 I used it to restore my entire device. It installed everything that was on my device with 2.17. I mean everything!

When you run the software it already has the basics things like contacts selected for backup, you can stick to the default or you can select a custom folder and add that to the list. I selected the root of all folders (usually depicted as "\" and backed it all up to my Storage Card. If you do not know what you want to keep, keep it all. I maintain all my large full system backups on my SD card that came with the mogul and use my 4GB card just for incremental backups once a week. The key is to read everything before you click.

Google Mail Application - Intalled but where?

My first post, but I promise I have searched this forum to see if there is an answer to this question!
I'm having difficulty with Google Mail application on this device. I have Googlemail working fine in the pop/imap programme, but this does not seem to give all the functionality I want - for example being able to search all mails ever sent/received.
I therefore downlaoded and installed (twice) the Google Mail application. When prompted I changed the install folder from "Root" to "Applications". It installed fine, and can be run from the "run application now" link which appears at the end of the installation process.
However when I want to run the application again, or set a shortcut to it on my home screen it is nowhere to be found!
Am I doing something stupid? Can anyone help?
Thanks

Start Java.
It's a java app and doesn't put a shortcut to any installed java applets into the standard start menu.
There's a shortcut called JBLEND in startmenu tools folder (about halfway down) to start java

Thanks for that - found it and it works. Really annoying though that I can't get an icon for it. Strikes me a little anti-competitive of Microsoft to do that! I had an icon fine for it on my old Nokia.
Let's hope a fix comes along.
Thanks very much

Huh? That makes no sense.

Why do you use java app on Windows Mobile, better is use gmail via active sync? Emails, contacts, calendar?
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo

ok... I have activesync tied up with work's echange server... I normally use the Java Gmail app. However smy latest attempts to install, say the install .jad file is corrupt...
I am install directly from the website... gmail.com/app
I am using IE not opera to navigate there, the install link appears, however it gets half way through the install and then advises me the install program is corrupt...
since I have never had this problem before, I would guess it is more likely something to do with the Java client in my Laurentius ROM... anyone have any hints on how to get the app installed correctly?

I have given up on Jblend. Do a search for esmertec Java VGA version and install that Java manager. Works really well with the Java Gmail App.

OK can anyone help with this error?
ran java client esmertec...
