I screwed up my left soft key need help

On the Cingular 8125 I was trying to change the left soft key to open start menu. Found out it didn't work. Now I go back to the registry under 112 key and type the old default "\Windows\calendar.exe", wait a while, then soft reset.
Now I get an error message saying:
The file 'calendar' 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 fie.
Any ideas on what I screwed up? I can access the calendar from the programs page no problems.

I figured it out. I was told the string needed to be in "" but I tired it without and it's back to working fine again.

Need Help With This, Too!!
Exactly what is it you did to eliminate the problem. Everytime I press the left soft key, I also get that error message that HTCCalendar cannot start.

\Windows\calender.exe
That's what string I typed in

Not installing cabs (+ Q about locking)

Hiya
Just got my htc touch hd, installed a few cabs (Fennec, skyfire and what not), however when I now click on other cab files i have put onto my storage card, they will not install. The green highlight bar just flashes when i click it and the "Up" and "menu" at the bottom flash and disappear. I have tried double clicks, single clicks - the whole lot! Does anyone know why it is doing this and how it can be resolved please - without a hard reset lol.
Furthermore, my end key does not lock the device when I hold it, despite the settings saying it should. I have downloaded pocketsheild so hopefully wil;l; that fix it in a way? However I cannot install it!!!!!
All help appretiated, have searched but not much luck
Deren

soft reset fixed it! any ideas about lock?

I just did the following in my phone:

Then put in "/Windows"the file named "shellres.96.dll.****.mui"
**** is the localization code of your ppc's rom (040C for France and 0409 for US/UK)
The files you'll find in the folder are in 040C so change them if you're not french.
And Soft reset
This operation will replace too your wait cursor by the wait cursor vista by Marshall if you want to keep your cursor follow the How-to instructions to extract and modify your shellres.96.dll file.
If you want to put your original system just erase your shellres.96.dll.****.mui file and soft reset.

but now my phone keeps getting stuck to the yellow windows startup screen..
please help, I've tried a hard reset, but no luck....

sorry, I was mistaken about the hard rest.... I thought the Hard reset was the button on the back, but that's not correct (thanks HTC for the o so good Dutch manual were they don't tell how to hard reset)....
It works again luckily....

Ihave the same problem... how did you repair it?

Okay, firstly, if you dont even know how to perform a hard reset there is no damn way you should be messing with system files. Lesson learned.
the easiest way to perform a hard reset is, when the power is off hold down both volume control buttons and turn on the power while they are pressed, follow the onscreen prompts.

Installed swype...where is it?

The old keyboard still comes up. I installed the .CAB file and I don't know what else to do. help me Please be patient with me. Just switched from G1 to this phone literally 1 day ago. Still not used to 6.5 WinMO.

you have to either hold down the arrow key next to the keyboard button or hold down the button itself. When I first got my TMOUS HD2 I had to hold down the arrow key. But after flashing it to kumar, I just had to hold down the keyboard button.

it works! As simple as that seemed, I feel like a completely dumbass noob.

I installed Swype 3.9 and everything worked fine. I accidentally uninstalled it because some skin cab I installed didn't work so I was trying to delete that file but instead I deleted Swype program file through file explorer. I know, dumb.
I tried to re-install the swype cab but everytime I try, program file folder doesn't install and the keyboard doesn't appear. I have no idea why it doesn't install program file folder. Anyone have solution to my problem?

AHHH, Swype is gone...

I installed Swype 3.9 and it worked initially. I can access the menu through keyboard icon. I accidentally uninstalled it because wm7 skin cab I installed didn't work so I was trying to delete that file but instead I deleted Swype program file through file explorer. I know, dumb.
I tried to re-install the swype cab but everytime I try, program file folder doesn't install and the keyboard doesn't appear nether does keyboard menu. I have no idea why it doesn't install program file folder. Anyone have any idea to my problem? Anything can help.
Thanks!!

Let me know which one works best.

i tried both of them, but still doesn't work. I think the problem is either me unable to delete the program completely so the re installing program can't install the cab fully.
The program appears in application list as"swype-inc" but still doesn't create "Swype" folder in Program File listing in File Explorer. I don't know if that's the reason why the keyboard doesn't appearing
Hope that make sense.

Download PIM backup or whatever you use to backup your phone and save your contacts, messages, and whatever you need. Then do a hardset.

Sounds like your registry is corrupted.

MemMaid is a 3rd-party app that helps clean memory among other things...one of the features it claims it has is the ability to clean out the remnants of bad uninstalls...give it a shot and see if it clears out the old crap so you can fully install it again. Cab is attached, I think it's a trial version (time-limited).

I never done hard reset before. What does it affect? Would hard reset make all the programs currently installed in the device go away? or does it reset to original factory configuration? How about stuff in SD card? does it affect any data in the SD card as well?

It doesn't mess with your storage cards data one bit. You'll go completely back to stock on your phone like the day you bought it. Backup your contacts and what not using myphone or any other backup program you want. PIM Backup worked best for me.

How to perform a HardReset
Hard Resetting deletes ALL personal data and settings and restores your phone to factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing.
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

First of all, Thanks for all the advices guys.
I did the hard reset. I installed the swype cab file and it says it was successfully installed then did the soft reset. Unfortunately it didn't work. I have no idea why but holding the keyboard icon won't show the swype menu.... I'm so lost..... is this mean my hd2 is ruined for swype usage?
For some reason, after the hard reset, things are little different from when I turned HD2 for the first time... odd

This is the last cab I've got for swype. It's a long shot but give it a try.

Wait. You did a hard-reset and Swype wasn't already available?
What ROM are you running then? 'Cause all of 'em I've seen had Swype pre-installed.
If you did a true hard-reset, you should have to install Swype...
