Hi everyone,
I have a stange problem with my WM taskmanager. I've set it up to close programs by tapping the x button. Since a day or twothe x-button doe not do what he's suppose to do. After tapping the x, programs like explorer, messages and the like do not shutdown anymore and have to be stopped manually. Programs that have the exit or shutdown probability doe not suffer from this issue, only programs with no exit feature.
Does anyone have a solution for this strange behaviour?
thanks in advance, Kuzibri
Hi, no one??? A search on the internet did nor help me at all, so you people at XDA are my hope!! Of course can I run Memmaid to close all running programs, but I do not like it when something does not do what it is supposed to do.
regards, Kuzibri

I'm a big fan of SPB's pocket plus, but the 3.0 version has some conflicts with the I-Mate K-Jam. While I can wait for them to work those out in most instances, I REALLY miss the ability to completely close tasks via the "X" in the upper right corner of the screen.
Has anyone found a compatible program that allows users to COMPLETELY close programs using the "X" button?
Thanks for any advice!
(As an aside, you'd think that after 5 versions and all the problems with programs/memory in WM2003PE, Microsoft would have included this feature in the OS.... but.... nooooo....)
wisbar advance 2
works for me.
NOT REALLY
IT WORKED FINE FOR ME TOO BUT.............
THE NAJOR PROBLEM THE WHOLE DEVICE HANGS UP AFTER A SOFT RESET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you install SPB + 3.0 go to settings for SPB and uncheck "Safe Mode on Soft Reset" This is what causes it to hang. When you uncheck that everything runs fine
I have SPB + on my K-Jam
Me 2
yes but my k-jam don´t lets to install pocket plus ?¿?
regards?¿?
I installed Magic Button - worked fine when I actually tap the "X" icon. For some reason, though, it doesn't seem to work when using a hardware button assigned to OK / Close.
Any ideas?

Well, forgetting the broken English, I am having this same problem, too -- the CAB file only installs 10-15%, then just craps out, and the Windows "unsuccessful install" message pops up.
Any thoughts? Have I corrupted some registry entry or something, that after the first bad one, does not allow the Pocket Plus CAB to properly install?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
bit of an extreme suggestion, do a hard reset and re-install from scratch,
sorry all i can suggest. :?
i do but, it´s imposible
I put smartskey and omap onto my mda...it wasn't working properly so I uninstalled it....
there are no visible signs of the programs on my device but everytime my device wakes up or powers on i get this:
Notification Error
Cannot execute "windows/start/menu/newfoldr/smarskey.exe"
then behind it i get
Notification Error
Cannot execute "smartskey/snartskey.exe"
I just want this to be off of my device since it has been so much trouble. Can someone please help me figure out how to get rid of this without having to do a hard reset?
\windows\startup
remove it from there...
and also remove the smartskey folder where you installed it from...
i did that...nm i ended up doing a hard reset. I deleted the program and folder...there were no visible traces...idk what happened
I had this problem too. Extremely frustrating especially since I had removed all traces (so I thought) of smartskey.
Turns out, Smartskey leaves behind a notification message that gets queued up even if you remove the program and it's shortcut from the startup menu. You need a program like MemMaid to clear the notification message.
Annoying Smartskey issue, PLEASE help

I also have this problem on a Wizard and a Prophet. Even though you remove 'all traces' of Smartskey it keeps coming up wuth the queued notification message. Does anyone have a fix for this?
I tried using MemMaid demo about a week ago but it wouldn't install on the Wizard. I might try it on the Prophet. Can anyone confirm that if I buy the full MemMaid software it will remove this annoying issue i.e. does it run & install on WM5 XDA's?

MemMaid is WM5 compatible. I use it on my Wizard without problem.
EDIT:
Re uninstalling smartskey - I thought there was a specific way to uninstall it mentioned in the smartskey thread? Does this not work?

Just tried MemMaid (demo) on the Prophet. It cleared the problem straight away. Went back to the Wizard and MemMaid also worked on that, both machines now clean of the Smartskey notification message. Now that I know how to remove the message I might play around with Smartskey some more. The Smartskey concept is quite good but it seems to interface badly with Omapclock (might just be Microsoft's buggy notification software).
MemMaid also looks a good utility for $15. I think originally I might have been trying to run the MemMaid (installation) exe from the Wizard rather than installing over ActiveSync.
hi, i use smartskey and omap together and they both work beautifully with each other, my device is quicker thanks to omap clock and the wizard is excellent as a one handed device thanks to the shortcuts it creates just like the prophet device where it creates ur soft keys to be the start button and OK button as well.....its like having 2 extra keys just like the prophet.......you can also use the software Check Notifications 1.9 by ScaryBearSoftware to get rid of the smartskey.exe from the notifications queue......
MemMaid v. Smartskey
I installed Smartskey, and it was unhappy. Then the bloody "Notification Error..." started popping up consistantly.
Reinstalled Smartskey, no help.
Uninstalled, No Help.
Looked it up here, Installed MemMaid
Problem Solved.
BTW- Reinstalled Smartskey and OmapClock and they work wonderfully. My initial eror was installing to the SD Card and not main memory.
Thanks for the fix.
hi,
I want to make my app realy exit when user taps on the x button in the upper-right area of the screen, so what msg should I handle to do this?
I am using MFC eVC++ 4.0
Thanks

I don't remember the exact link right now, but on the same site I gave you before (www.pocketpcdn.com) there is an article about handling "smart minimize".
Just do a search.
there is already a program out there called wclose.exe when you hit the x it will ask you if you want to close, if you choose yes it shuts it down, if you choose no it just minimizes it
and there are plenty of other programs, but I don't remember their names.
I however remember that Wisbar Advance and SPB Pocket Plus has them
There's also MagickButton, but mohgdeisat is looking to incorporate this functionality in to a program he is writing, not to use a 3rd party app.
By the way, here is the link to the article:
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/close_app.html
Thanks guys,
I got the topic and I am reading it, hope it works.
and a special thank you for levenum
Mohammad
be careful using such applications on some programs
not sure if it's the case with wm2005 but with 2003
closing outlook that way just after a sms would sendt
would result in a stuck sms icon and 2 sms's sendt
A anyone got link for wclose i cant seem to find it anywhere :?
Thanks
MagicButton or wclose?
Which is better MagicButton or wclose? I am using MB but sometimes it kind of makes prog go in a loop they don't shut down keep popping up. This is happening after the ROM upgrade... any help on which is the best prog for close app jobs?
wclose.exe

look at the third post from the top...
I use Vbar on my Magician and it just works very well.
Can't remember where I got it from so here it is :-
hi everybody!
I have a problem...
Everytime, i wakeup my hermes, there is a message (i have to translate it into english
"Canot execute \Program Files\Liakeridge\Wisbar advance desktop\wakeup.exe"
thats funny, becaus i tryed wisbar desktop and deleted it directly... so i havn't installed it so far...
I tryed to rename an other app to "wakeup.exe" and put it there...
It works, but its not the best way when you wakeup your hermes and an useless app starts directly.
can you help me, how to fix this?
Sorry for my bad english
u said u deleted it? it seems to me that you installed wisbar advance and wakeup.exe was one of the parts to it that started up when you woke it up.
did you uninstall/remove wisbar properly? or just delete it? because that seems that there are still links to it in the registry.
UNINSTALL through 'remove programs' (or install it and then uninstall. see if that works.)
hey.
Thank you for your fast help, but i deinstalled the programm properly...
I only use the normal wisbar advance, and i tryed the desktopversion for 5 min and removed it than with the activsync tool.
Do someone has an other idea?
It sounds like de-installing the Wisbar Advance Desktop app might've messed something up with Wisbar Advance 2.
There are several things you might do to correct the situation, but without direct knowledge regarding what WAD needs installed vs what WA2 needs, I think it would probably be best to bring this question to the programs' author, Chris McKay.
Try reaching him on one of the forums he keeps at http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=23

Yes, SKTools Cleaning wizard will remove broken shortcuts, and that is the problem that you described. The question comes to mind, though, as to whether WA2 needed the app that the particular shortcut pointed to.
I guess in your case, it did not, and as such, WA2 is still working satisfactorily.

Try to replace the magicbutton software with HTC X-button - it can be configured to shut down programs completely by hitting the "x".....
