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:

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.

Deck1
Deck2
Just copy the pegcards.96 to your windows directory or install the cab file

Deck 2 works like a charme
Thanks
Can someone see if deck 1 works to?

Gee...what made you try out Deck 2 over Deck 1 first?
But yeah...I'll try both of them....

lollll it's nice idée, thank you very much

I dropped the dll in my windows folder and then even restarted the phone but it was no good.
I noticed that the current dll in windows is pegcards.dll and not pegcards96.dll will that have something to do with it.
Maybe I have a different version of solitaire.
I'm using a T-Mobile Wing with Aserg's Rom v12

thankssssssssssssss

I have these on my fuze and enjoy these greatly, but one quick question. Is there anyway to get the cards separated just a hair? You know like once they are flipped face up.
For example in the top pick. The 4th row from the left, the queen, jack. ten. Is there anyways to get the cards separated just a tad more so you can see the under lying cards better? In this case the queen and jack symbols.

Do you have an tutorial ready yet?

Any chance of getting a VGA version? I like deck2

Can you post a VGA pegcards.dll or PM it to me i will try when i get time
Also someone asked how this was done well you need a few tools all availible on this forum (Unsigner,signer,reshacker,search for file suite
1:
Remove any Attributes from the Dll you want to edit ie.. read only,hidden ect..
This can be done easily in windows by right clicking the file and unticking all the file attribute boxes
2:
Next you must Unsign the file you want to edit! Just go into the Unsign dir and drop the file over UnSigner.exe.
A Command Prompt Window will popup for a short time, saying the file is now unsigned! (if this fails go back to stage 1)
3:
Now you can edit the file make your changes to the Graphics or Text.
4:
Now you must resign the file open siggner.exe. Then choose the file you edited and take the "SDKSamplePrivDeveloper" Certificate.
Press "Start sign process" a text file should be created with the name of the file you just edited ,Read this text file to make sure the file you edited was signed successfully
5:
Remember to replace the attributes (read only,ect...) for the file you edited make sure that you do this stage last and not before trying to sign the file or your signing will fail
Thanks to schreda for putting together all you need in one package
Download the tools here:

Home screen direct link (TaskMgr) unremovable

My current problem is that the TaskMgr.exe disappears from the start menu, after a soft reset. Is there a reason/fix for this?
The other problem caused by this is, that my shortcut in the home screen becomes a dead link and is not removable. If I go to "menu->remove direct link->mark the task manager shortcut->finish" it simply stays there.
Even if I copy the taskmgr.exe to the start menu and the link is working again it wont be removable.
Is this a known issue and what can I do? Any help is much appreciated.
The whole thing looks like this:

Try
Go to:
Registry Key:
HKLM/Software/Htc/Manila/Home/11
(If I counted correctly, this is the 12th item, and numbering begins with 0)
There should be some Values specifying the IconPath
and ProgramPath
They usually point to some *.lnk file
See if this file exists,
and if the Lnk file exists, see if the program it points to also exists.
(I dont remember how to check where a .LNK file point too,
maybe Edit would do)
Edit:
Oh, Yes, see if the Value
IsSet (under the same key) is set to 1.

Thanks very much,
editing programm path and link path did the trick that now the Icon is back there and the link works even after a soft reset.
Though I still cant delete the link from the home screeen. There is no error message or anything. The Icon just stays there after clicking "Finish" to delete it.
EDIT: IsSet is set to 1.

Well . . .

I had a problem deleting element after playing a bit with the registry, and leaving an item all set, but with "IsSet" set to 0.
In that case - everything showed, but I could not delete the element.
(There is another value there - I think "IsExist"
maybe that has something to do with it as well,
or maybe - just play a bit with the other values in theis key, and compare them to values in keys (like 0,1,2 . . .), and see if something changed
Or -
As some say
If it works (for your needs) - dont touch it)
