Hi Everybody,
Today I have simply tried to have a look at my recent photo's but apparently the standard picture viewer doesn't start up. How can this be screwed up, it sits in the ROM, isn't it ? Maybe it has an INI or other config. file which is corrupted/missing ?? I was trying to search the forum for such a problem, but nothing found...
Please give me a hint if you can.
This is ONLY a hint because I have a Wizard...O2 XDA Mini S...and my Pics and Videos viewer stopped working. I eventually discovered it was because I'd installed the Eten dialer on my phone.
Don't know how this may help but hope it gives some clue.
iainmann,
Thanks for the hint but unfortunately it is not my case.. Other idea anyone ?
Good if you could list out the recent installed software

If youre tapping on the program icon and its not starting then try searching for the actual program (Normally in \windows), and try launching that way.
If youre tapping on a picture and its not starting then have a search on the web for some kind of file association program - perhaps the photo file extension has become dis-associated from the picture viewer.

Hard reset?
Start "Explorer", go to "/windows" and find "pimg" file. Try to start it. If it won't run, then you got virus (or bug

first of all: thanks for all the replies, just to summarize what I did already:
1. I have tried to launch the "pimg.exe" directly - the same thing (nothing) happens.
2. Hard reset - no way ! The problem is not the kind where I would consider a hard reset. I have installed a free picture viewer for the time beeing.
3. I have the "jpg" files associated with "pimg" in Resco explorer, but it didn't make any difference.
If somebody would still come up with a new idea, I would really appreciate :? .
If the program won't start I would check that the program hasn't been overwritten. With Resco make sure that it has a tick in the "In ROM" box in Properties. If not, delete it and the ROM version will be restored.
With File Associations you have two registry keys for each filetype.
HKCR\.jpg - pointing the extension to the filetype and handler
HKCR\jpegimage - telling the OS which icon and program to use for the file.
Other entries exist too like HKCR\.jpeg, for the same file with different extension, and HKCR\jpegfile which is empty on my device.
The HKCR\jpegimage\Shell\Open\Command on mine is (Default) = pimage.exe "%1"
Is yours any different?
Resco has a built in viewer for images and other file types, which you can set as the default action when you click a file.
Hope this helps.
PReDiTor,
Thanks for the hints, I went through the points but nothing suspicious found. I have set now Resco's internal viewer as photo viewer, so I will leave the proble for now. Let's see further after the next hard reset.... :wink:
its a dll file that is screwing up..
search up the thread on saman's wm5 new menu and there is a dll switcher there..
Ok found ICSinstall.cab on here and installed it, soft reset, and attempted to install the latest version of the WMWifiRouter program (which I finally succeeded in sourcing!).
However I get a message telling me cryptically that it 'cannot be installed' after attempting install. I wonder if this is related to ICS...
I now have the InShrUI.exe file in /windows/ *but* attempting to run it gives:
'The file 'IntShrUI' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.'
I reinstalled it over itself (i.e. ran the cab again) same error.
:-/
Was this the right file? I seem to remember it was dated 11th January 2008??
Thanks again for hte help folks!
I should say I'm running Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0 (OS5.1.195 (build 14955.2.3.0).
Lastly I should say I've started a new topic as the last one was getting a bit off topic my original concern having been answered :-D (thanks guys!)
probably you only opened a shortcut (*.ink) and the shortcut pointed to a not existing file. Another thing is that it also was intsalled correctly (the *.exe), but the dll's or whatever are not installed.
Regards
Thanks. I'll try redownloading and repeating.
I was wondering if the file needed signed with some unique private key or something?
Anyways will give it a shot and report back

Thanks for your suggestion I'm now a tiny bit further on.
On soft resetting the PPC I get the following error:
'Pocket PC Networking
Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings.'
InShrUI is still giving the same error as before (and it's definately the .exe file I'm clicking).
However the improvement is: This time WMWifiRouter succeeded in installing...
However the same PPC networking error occurred during the install. I could probably tweak whatever is causing that error to use a static IP address rather than DHCP probably...but it's kind of dodging the problem.
And as said before I can't launch IntShrUI without getting that error. This time there is a shortcut to it though in program files.
I should also say that neither the executable or the shortcut has an Icon Image (i.e. it's the default no icon blank) so I suppose it might be the .exe file that's corrupt (since the shortcut get's it's icon from there I think?).
Last but not least:
WMWifiRouter reads:
Code:
'Not Connected'
Waiting for connection
I suspect the problem must lie with InShrUI but then again I'm a noob so I'll wait for the XDA gods to come and share their wisdom!

Is there no1 who can answer this? Anyone got any ideas?
Device is a hermes (T-mobile Vario-II) running WM5.....
There's one MAN point up for grabs for whoever can solve it!
I tried installing WMWifiRouter 0.89 onto a ROM which didn't have ICS included (which meant I had to try the same route you did) onto my Vario 2... I just couldn't get it to work, and I spent a while trying to make it work too.
I'm figuring that there's some deep-seated DLL or system association which ICS needs, which isn't configured if ICS is stripped out of the ROM - I ended up just reflashing with another ROM (the T-Mobile WM6.0 official ROM) and ICS and WMWifiRouter works fine.
Sorry that's not a solution, but it's the only way I could get it to work. Not an expert ROM cooker, so my knowledge of how ICS is stripped / included in ROMs is fairly limited, though I understand the concepts and techniques.
Thanks for your help Christopher.
I considered flashing a working ROM. My worry is about losing all the programs I have installed on the device (it took a long time to get it *this* customised ;-) ) is there any way to flash the new ROM while keeping the old registry entries etc. for registering my programs (Especially those I've bought such as Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine - which I cannot register anymore)? ...
Or could I somehow back up the registry and restore it later (I know that's likely to be a dangerous idea...perhaps simply the file associations and programs stuff -the windows mobile section?)
Thanks bro!

Bumping as no replies for ages
Anyone?
Bumping again as no replies for a week or so
Bumping again to ask if anyone knows a way of slving this without having to reinstall all my programs, re register them, and reconfigure everything? (which I suspect installing a different ROM will do?) is it possible to back up the registry entries for all of my programs then do the ROM upgrade and restore the registry entries from my other programsMost of my programs are installed on the microSD card anyway (i didn't want to use up the main memory and slow the device up).??
If so how?
Thanks again folks !
I have the same problem...
I cant seem to find the answer but will continue to try.
if your programs are installed on your memory card then chances are you should be able to past shortcuts into the programs directory after reflashing. I tend to do this BUT I have found some programs that need to be re-installed or re-registered. Backing up registries can cause SERIOUS problems in itself so I would 1st do a full backup of your system (try spb backup, it backs up EVERYTHING on the phone then re-installs the lot so it seems like you never had a problem..) then flash. Try putting on shortcuts and if you have no luck you have the choice to start again on the new os or reflash to old and then restore backup (old problems wil still be there). Hope this helps.
Ps. I use resco explorer instead of the crap file explorer on the phone. It allows MUCH more versatility to do as I want. Cheers....
Oops. Can anyone help please.
After installing opera 9.5 beta, I realised that it hijacked html files and stopped PIE from loading them. Since I couldnt uninstall the opera, I removed the files and registry entries.
But no matter what I try to do, PIE wont load html files I have stored.
It connects to the web without trouble
Does anyone know how to fix this, or have I messed up.
Thanks
Option 1: Hard Reset
Option 2: Use Total Commander and long click on an HTML file to get Properties, then navigate to the associate tab
Other Options: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=252799
I tried the associate using tc and resco but it makes no difference.
Is there a way to re-install just the pie?

not trying to be smart, but i believe a hard-reset is the only way to reinstall PIE.

If it helps anyone out there, IEP looks like its in an infinite loop when trying to load a local html file.

Hi Guys,
As you are aware we are waiting for the HardSPL, but in the mean time, can you share what Theme you are using which has no issues on your TP2...a cab file would be nice.
This way we know what works on our Vodafone UK branded phones.
Thanks in Advance....
There are a few threads on here dealing with this. But the gist is:
Download this
http://www.4shared.com/file/109330961/b9be5561/TF3DIIBlack.html
Before installing it copy the "2330fc3c_manila" file from the windows directory and put it back after installation. When installing DO NOT let your screen turn off!!! and it takes AGES to install, about 20-30 minutes.
Once it is installed, reboot and you have the default HTC black TF3D theme, with white fonts. You can then install any theme you want without CFC compression

Thanks Stunno, I have done this, but I think I have cocked up slightly, I did not re-install the manilla file before re-booting, my weather is in French, I assume this would have changed it?

Use Total Commander or the Resco file manager to copy the file
I copied a couple of times and also got the permission errors, but I think it did actually copy, when I went back into weather it was in English (may have soft reset in the interim)

Just to confirm to people that the above works like a dream. BUT FOLLOW / READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
For users that dont want to twinker to much in regards to copy this file, save this file, cut this file, paste the file...install another app etc.... USE THIS.
Simple install and a simple tweak and thats it. You are up and running.
I used MaxTT but for me I'm happy with Stunno's method.
Once again thanks for the guys who have posted !!
Thanks Stunno.
Works perfectly.
People might like to make a note of the programs they have on their quick launch "start page" as these need to be setup again.

I'm having trouble with reestablishing Facbook,
I can edit the first of the reg files, but the next two won't open for some reason. I'm using total Commander to edit them.
I've managed to change facebook.disable value to 0, but that's about it, any help appreciated!
I followed the instructions given in these threads, except I copied the manila file after installing. I disabled TF3D, copied the manila, restarted TF3D. It works beautifully.
I also installed from the numerous icon packs and different background from the HDwall collection and my TP2 doesn't look at all like the one shipped by VF.
Go for it guys. Just go for it.

The clue's in the error message (and the 1st post in the BsB Tweaks thread).
You need to download and install .Net 3.5.
I believe there's a link for it in the BsB Tweaks thread.

Also make sure your phone is using the 3.5 as default and not 2.0. Go here: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Next Change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.

Snerkler,
Your learning curve is a steep one but let's battle on.
I have just gone to the same thread/post and downloaded the file you should have downloaded. If that's not what you have, go back and download the correct file type. Its a zipped file with a load of other files in it. This type of zipped file is called a cab file.
Connect your phone to your pc via activsync (read the manual, it tells you how), then copy this cab file (do not extract it, just copy it across as it is) to your phone.
Next, open file explorer on your phone (you will find this tool if you click Start at the top left of your phone and scroll down), find the cab file, double tap on it and it will install.
Job done.

Thanks. Got the .cab file this time. I have no trouble installing .cab files but for somereason it didn't extract first time, therefore I thought I had to do something with all the other files :-/
I've got BsB tweaks up and running now, but it still doesn't seem to function properly. It doesn't seem to have changed opera in the sense that I still can't click links unless I zoom in. I do have the opera link click turned on.
Also when I check the boxes for the programs I want to use rotation for they uncheck themselves everytime I leave the menu. I will have a look at that BSB tweaks thread and see if anyone else has had these issues.

You definitely need to read up on BsB, because you're expecting something that's not correct.
