so i have had this problem before, with many different roms.
i goto inbox press an email, doesn't open!
well sort of it opens but doesn't display anything.It seems to be a graphical glitch or something
its doing my head in now tried all the possible fixes here on xda that's been posted.
grrrrrr
don't want to have to hardreset again!
press main menu and lock screen. when u will unlock it, emails will open as usual.
tried it
done that already check the registry as well, other than hardreset it won't come on
really really enoying
nobody have any inclinations on this, I'm an experienced wm user with many flashes on different devices and this one has me stumped

Hey all has anybody else experienced this? when I open up outlook to check emails or text messages outlook's background doesn't load up, I can see on the top bar the name of the inbox I'm currently supposed to be looking at but the background is my today screen. I can send new messages but basically I can't read new ones if I try to touch the screen I activate whatever I hit on my today screen. I took off all my today screen plugins, but nothing, if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, I would appreciate it.
Sounds obvious and stupid but have you turned the device (hold power button) and back on again? This happens to me sometimes and after a reboot it seems to fix it.
Yeah I do the same thing, the only problem is that it's doing it too often and it's a pain to reset my phone 3 - 4 times a day.
Oh i see. Mine has never done it that often, sorry I can't help any more!
You have a software conflict somewhere - it will be v hard to track down. You could try uninstalling some especially if you have spb products installed as they often are the culprits. But you probably need to hard reset and add programs one by one to find the one.
I had this problem in the past (with old ROMs though)
The way I managed to overcome this is to keep outlook running in the background.
I'm using the Spb Pocket Plus and in the "close button configuration" I added the outlook to the exceptions list. By keeping it running, it always come back with a complete screen (not just top and bottom).
But then again, I didn't see this behavior since I upgraded the ROM; I'm on the 2.26 ROM now.
@gilbnx
Yeah was just thinking of doing something like that more or less.
@meschle
The only spb software I have is spb backup, I always works at first it's just at some point after I've been using the system for a while that it starts doing it. It could be after opening some application and I just haven't noticed. I'll try opening one application at a time and checking to see if it stops working after a certain one, yes tedious I know, but tell you the truth I don't use a whole lotta applications, so I'll stick to the ones I usually open up.
For those of you having this problem, if you are using smartkey, make sure outlook, MMS, Text messaging, are set to be ignored, just like it is in the default smartkey.ini. I had altered the ini and taken out all the programs since I wanted them all to close, but I noticed it started happening after closing outlook with smartkey, so I put it back on ignore and haven't had any problems since (and I hope I won't).
My exec has gone nuts.
First, alarms stopped displaying the message boxes, and as I couldn't dismiss them, they went on for ages.
Now, I get my reminders through from weeks ago through, with no messages, all at once, in a mishmash of notification beeps, and voice command reading them out.
I really have no idea what could be wrong.
I haven't changed anything.
I'd love a fix which doesnt involve hard reset (and yes, I have soft reset it!)
Thanks,
Skelly

Check out MamMaid it has an option for clearing notifications.
Read my step by step guide in the following thread to fix your device - this guide does NOT involve a hard reset.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60036
And do not use the built-in Clock/Alarm application any more, it is VERY buggy and almost certainly what has caused your problems (as it did on mine).
Thanks: it helped me also: at last solved a irritating problem. You are a great help!
What do people recommend as the best alarm clock program to use?
My alarm clocks stopped working so relying on the Universal atm to wake me up every morning but today one of my calendar reminders didn't go off and I nearly missed a 3 hour conf call (tragedy I know!!!).
G
I'm using SPB Time, a bit bloated at over 3MB just for what is basically a clock but it has everything you will need (clock, WORKING alarm, stopwatch, etc).
Seriously people stop using the built in clock/alarms app completely, it messes up your notifications queue over time making reminders not go off properly and all sorts of other unpleasant bugs which just get worse as your device gets older, which is why I suspect we are seeing more and more of these cases a year after the device was originally released.
It is unknown at this time whether or not these bugs are fixed in later WM5 ROM releases, although I suspect not...

Ho YES I know this problem well!!! It is a total Pain in the But.
I have tried most tings and the only thing thatw orked for me was a hard reset a finaly a ROM upgrade seems to have stopped the problem coming back AGAIn & AGIN . Well for now anyway.
I think SL9 has the answer I have not tried the exact method given But Did try Memmaid and It did not help. I did not however deselect the alarms first and did not do a Soft reset straight after. These may be the secrets to success. I have not had the problem recently (please NO MORE) so unable to try SL9 method but seems to have worked for many
Here is SL9s method Good luck and thanks to SL9
================================
Yes, I had this problem also. You can perform a hard reset, that will solve it but then you loose all your data and it is a pain! So I spent all day trying to find out how to fix it without doing a hard reset, and here are the results:
1. Open the Clock & Alarms app, and click on the Alarms tab. Make sure everything is unticked and unselected.
2. Install and launch MemMaid (http://www.dinarsoft.com/ - Note: MemMaid is shareware that expires after something like 30 days, or you might use another app which allows you to edit the notifications queue), and then press the Jump To softkey and click on the the Notification Queue option.
3. Press the Find Duplicate button, and make sure you say yes to deleting all duplicates.
4. Now you have to scroll through the list slowly, you must find all the ones which have this text in them and check the tickbox: \Windows\clock.exe.
5. Now you have located the rogue alarm notifications and ticked them, press the Delete button and confirm in the next step. Make sure you have NOT ticked/selected any other notifications except the clock.exe ones before you do this step, otherwise it can easily make your phone stop working!
6. Soft reset your device. When it has finished booting, you should notice that it doesn't vibrate madly with alarms for 20 minutes like it used to do before, and you should have a flashing green LED on the right instead of orange
7. Stop using the built-in clock & alarms app if you don't want this to happen again - it is too buggy! Find a replacement alarm app, there are loads of free ones out there!

I've searched and this is too generic of a search to find a definitive answer.
It doesn't seem to matter what chef's ROM I use but when I click on call history, 90% of the time, I get a major minute or minute and a half lag before the screen appears.
Like I said, I've tried 2 or 3 different ROMs from different chefs but I always seem to get the same result.
With Dutty's ROM, I was getting the same lag everytime I would click on the calendar tab on the home screen. (however, if I clicked on calendar on the home page (not the tab, the link below the clock) I didn't have any lag in calendar.
With David's ROM, I don't get the lag with calendar but as with Dutty's, I get a lag on call history.
When I installed the ROMs, I did the usual hard reset and always seem to get the same result.... a lagging call history.
Anyone have this problem or know a cure? I use this phone for my business and it's extremely annoying to have to wait a minute or so just to get a screen up to read my call history.
Thanks,
Mark
Sounds strange but maybe its a fault in the Radio Module or could it be a corrupted bootloader, I've never experienced that and tried most available ROM's, I suggest flash an official ROM, restore SPL and then see if problem exists. Did the problem occur in old versions of Manila?
Honestly, I don't remember at what point it started. Because I started flashing the day I got the phone, I didn't spend much time on any one ROM.
I will try your suggestion and see what happens.
Thanks,
Mark
Got an idea. When I install a new ROM, I always let windows mobile device center reinstall my contacts.
Having said that, as my PIM updates, I just copy and paste it so when I install a new ROM, all I do is paste the new PIM into the main root directory on the storage card.
Point is, PIM.VOL is at 3.27M
Doesn't that seem a little much?
I've got roughly 350-400 contacts in my phone so I don't know if the PIM is a little much at 3.27M.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark
Okay, I reverted back to a nothing PIM and started from stratch.
Also, I downgraded to an older radio, flashed the rom and did a hard reset.
The call history tab pulls up pretty quick, the calendar still LAGS....
Not sure what the deal is...
I'm gonna go check out Regedit.
Mark
i believe this error appears if one changes default location of htc shortcuts /or shortcuts in start menu ......
how ever reverting short cuts does not solve problem ...and some icons of shortcuts lost like in my case htc calender icon is lost ....
now services .exe error is coming again on every reboot ...
so any one can confirm this scenario ....
I have the same problem. No idea why at this point
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance!
MadSci
I also get this message but it doesnt seem to affect anything.still a pain in the arse though.....
It affects something...when Service.exe problem occurs, you need to reboot your phone, otherwise you are not able to receive SMS messages!
I have had this occur on a few occasions after messing with software. Can't say it caused any problem other than the annoying boot up message. Only a hard reset ever resolved it.
My experance with Services.exe
I found that i always, and only ever get services.exe error on boot up when i have TouchTools installed and the only way to fix it is to hard reset!!
Not come across this before, but can tell you I move all my short-cuts around when I have flashed a ROM and I never had this happen so nothing to do with that,
couple for you to have a look through

http://www.htchd2forum.com/general-htc-hd2-discussion/error-with-services-exe/
like demon_man said, i've moved all the htc shortcuts (and lost a few) also have touchtools installed and have never had this error, I know that doesn't help you guys but I don't think its caused by either of those 2 things.
It seems it has to do with the installation of more than one app without performing a soft reset.
If you always perform a soft reset after installing an application you can minimize the risk of getting this error, maybe you can even avoid the error.

I have reflashed the phone about three times with the stock rom and now have moved to custom ones which seem to be working a little better, but I am honestly getting annoyed with how much this phone freezes while in the text window. I have to do a battery pull every time because none of the hard buttons respond either. I have seen many posts and was wondering if anyone has found a fix to this. I might, however, have a bad phone. I did not but it from T-mobile, so if I brought it in to them would they even be able to replace it or how do I go about doing that?

The SMS freezing issue is widespread in this phone, I honestly don't think you have a bad piece of hardware.
One of the solutions that seems to work most frequently is to keep the number of text messages retained in your phone down to an absolute minimum (like 50 or less) at all times. Clearing them out regularly (and from the deleted folder as well) seems to have eliminated the issue for a bunch of people. If it's critical for you to retain messages longer than that would allow, I'd suggest just backing your messages up with myphone or something similar that allows you to access them off the phone.
I know that's not an ideal solution, but it seems to work. That's the strategy I use all the time, and I've never once had the sms lagging or lockup issues that so many others report.
I've been deleting all my texts as soon as they get over 20 just to minimalize the problem, everything else will start lagging as well if I let this happen. Thanks though. I hope they get a fix for this because I love this phone.
I was haVing the same issues but not as bad as you...you can also try changing the messages too standard not threaded. you can do that by selecting all messages then menu then options...also try running titanium. go to settings/all settings then select windows default I trash mine like that for a while. but what seems to have fixed my problems was just un installing cookies home tab...I mentioned to sirphunkee that in a few days I would install cookies again to see if my problems came back.
I think this MIGHT help you id the problem.
See if removing the memory card helps.
My first unit seemed as bad as yours, if not worse.
Whenever I removed the memory card, it would run SUPER smooth, so I thought to myself, maybe a higher class sdhc would do the trick?
Nope.
There is just something defective about all the TMOUS HD2s...they just fail imho.
