Have a wonderful new year to evryone one the forum

It does not matter where I have the program install it gives me the same problem.
I've try installing it on the SD Card the Main memory everytime I go to remove it from the remove list I get error Its has not been completely removed do you what to remove it from the list you say yes the only thing it removes is the name of the program from the removal list but the program is still where it was install with all the icons.
So please can anyone help or I have to do a Hard Rest which I real do not what to do.
I'm trying to unistall Phatspell 1.4.
I've deleted the directory with all the dictionary but I have an Icon left in the settings folder which I do not known how to remove.
Look in the system folder with Total Commander but it is empty like all the icons are hide.

Thank you once again.

I had the same problem. As hotfix is SKTools the best choice in my opinion, but after a hardreset was the problem gone. I'm able now to deinstall the programms cleanly.

Icons missing on the Start Menu

I have put some applications on the Start Menu using the Start/Settings/Menus progra. The applications are all installed on the SD card. the problem is that sometimes the correct items are shown and other times they are the default 'windows program' icon. Is this something to do with them being on the SD card? is there a fix for this?
Thanks.

same thing happens to me. they work though...

Some programs don't have icons.
It's as simple as that.
Cheers

I have the same problem. I suppose it could be problem of newer version of WM5torage. Did you install it too?

pls help !!! strange problem

everytime i delete a file from my sd card it reappears after a soft reset !!!!
i m really bugged with this issue !!!
could ne 1 pls help me
thanks

What file in particular is it?
Some programs need certain data files and if they are not present then it will recreate them.
Also, do you have any programs installed that give a kind of "Recycle Bin" functionality?

It happens with all files ie: from a text file to an exe...don't have ne apps installed on the device..also did a hard reset twice but no use
another problem that i discovered was that the programes that r installed on the sd card donot function after a soft rest...
pls help
thanks

[B]xHelp how do i I unlock "Sufficient System Permissions" [/B]

Hi,
I have a cingular 8525 with the default cingular ROM ( will change it later want to wait a litle while)
I am trying to install a Cab and i get this notification:
the installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions
I know this is a simple registry hack and i seen a couple but I have not seen anything specific to hermes.
Please give me a link to directions
Thank You

Here... Install this CAB to the phone

This did not help
I installed the Remove Security Cab and it installed with no problem, but when i try to install: CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.CAB
I still get the same notification.
Thanks

Did more searching still cant solve it
I read some more posts and found that making sure processes are not running might solve the problem.
I went to memory and stoped all programs and I sitll can't install the: CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.CAB
Are there like system processes which are not showing up in memory - running programs ? Maybe I need to get into those and stop them?
Any other sugestions?
Please point me into the right direction.
Thank You

Purely on the point of running processes - these will not show up in programmes in memory (except in very broad terms). An application such as sktools will show running processes.
(I am not saying this will solve your problem though)
Mike

ok i will try getting a prog and stoping more stuff to see if i can install?
Any other sugestions?

Tried using SKtools to stop everyhing possible still cant install the CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.CAB
Is there anyone out there that knows how to fix this problem???
Please Help
thanks

Is there a way maybe to instead of installing this cab file to do it manualy??
Can I somehow modify registry to do the same as this cab is doing?
thanks

As a general rule, if I have an "unstoppable" process, I power cycle the phone and then execute the cab without opening ANYTHING else (like the comm manager in this case). Give it a shot.

I just tried that turning it off and on and trying to install, also doing soft reset and trying to install. Nothing works as soon as I click on it in a second i get "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
Please tell me what else I can try??

Finaly got what I wanted
I never got the stupid cab to install, but I found a different cab which let you assign vibrate to anything ( http://www.8525software.com/)utilities so when i hold PTT button it switches to Vibrate
Thanks for all that tried to help me.

Try
\Program Files\[<Your program's Developer>\]<Your Program Name>
(Start-> File Explorer -> Up (lower left corner)->Up->Up->Up->. . . .->Up->Program Files . . .)

Also if you still cant find it, hook it up to your pc, and then use the windows (if you have windows) built in search, and then search for the file name and then you'll know where it is in the future

Some of the shortcuts in the start menu are actually folders (Multimedia, for example.)
Have you looked in them for the apps you installed? Also, some apps don't have shortcuts in the programs folder. TouchResponse, for example, just runs all the time. There's a shortcut in settings, but nothing in the start menu root.
You probably just need to hunt round. If you could tell us for sure what you're missing then someone on here will definitely have installed it previously and be able to help you.

ok, sorry...
