Recommended Posts

HI I have a shiny new C600 and I am well impressed (you can even use it as a phone!!!) I installed Theme Changer and did not like it, it changed things round and messed up the apperance. I then removed the program and there seems to have been something left behind, I get this message when I turn on the phone

notification error

cannot execute\storage card\program files\themechanger\themechanger.exe

How do I get rid!

many thanks to all you brain boxes out there

well this sounds like it has left something in the startup box!, ok wot i need you to do is

open, storage\windows\startup,

is there somthing in the folder called themechanger?

if there is just delete it.

Basically if i am correct the your phone is trying to open a file which isnt there causing an error to occur!

Had a look there is nothing there in the storage card

I am going to try an install and then uninstall to see what happens.

I'm having the same exact problem... very very annoying. I'm having the issue on my windows mobile 2003 on my MPX200. anyone found a solution yet? there's nothing in the startup folder in the storage either so I'm guessing maybe its a registry setting that needs to be cleaned out? Anyone have a solution?

Has anyone found a solution to this? I also have this problem on my US T-Mobile SDA.

UPDATE: I was able to get this fixed, but it requires some work. It involves installing a PPC app that allows you to edit event logs. To run the app you need to install a utility called fakecursor, because the app will only respond to cursor inputs. Check out this thread for fake cursor: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=231575&st=0

Follow the instructions and it will work, but it can get tricky. Make sure to run the app the first time through the file manager, then the hotkey will work. I used the same hotkey that the author of the app used to make it simpler.

This thread will give you a link the the PPC app that you need and how to get it to work: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=222945

After you run the PPC app from your PC, you have to find the CAB that was extracted into the Activesync folder on the PC. Double-click the CAB and copy out the XXX.001 file...rename to XXX.exe and copy it to your program files folder on your phone. Then you can run it from there using a file manager.

When you get everything working, you have to delete the themechanger.exe entry in the event manager. Double click and a popup will say "delete." Click on this. You will get a confirmation dialog, but you won't be able to confirm because fakecursor disables all the other keys. So, push the hotkey to exit fakecursor. This will take you to the homescreen. Use the back key to go back to the confirmation dialog. Then you can use the softkey to click "yes." I also ran the "clear" button at the top of PPC app screen, but I don't know if it's necessary. You can then exit the PPC app by using a task manager.

It is some work, but it fixed the problem.

Good luck.
