Where is your file located!?

[Guest Vector]

Storage card :roll:

[Guest ambro]

you have to remove the two reg keys that you put in the first place and then reinstall..

or change them to the new location of the program as in

Storage CardProgram FilesPockettv ect

[Guest Vector]

Ok, thanks, i'll do that now :wink:

[Guest The PocketTV Team]

When you install from the CAB file on a clean phone, the CAB file should create all the keys.

But if you created keys manually and previously run PocketTV, itwill not create the clean keys that it normally creates on its first run.

So can probably fix that by going in PocketTV Menu and select

Options > Files > File Association

[Guest Vector]

It still says "file not found" :cry:

[Guest ambro]

Options > Files > File Association feature does not always work

as it says most of the time that its already linked to the program when its not at times. i had the same problem.. i manually changed the keys, because i installed it by accident on the phone instead of the storage card. when i reinstalled the program it still had the reg keys set to ipsm...

when i tried using the file association feature then it still said that it was already linked together

[Guest Vector]

And the little tv symbol is not showing by the ice age.mpeg :roll:

[Guest The PocketTV Team]

1) Remove PocketTV (you can leave the Smart Explorer)

2) Re-install PocketTV (on the Storage Card)

3) Run PocketTV from the Home Programs menu

4) Select Menu > Options > File > File Associations

If asked a question, say Yes.

That should fix any registry problem.

You may need to turn the phone off, then on in order to see the little icon.

That's because this option only sets the keys like .mpg like .mpeg for the file association. Thos are the keys that may be changed when you install another application (e.g. PocketDivX).

The key pockettv_mpgfile is set by the CAB installer, so you should not move an application after you install it.

Instead, you should remove it, and re-install it somewhere else, this way all the keys (several) created by the CAB installer will be updated correctly.

[Guest ambro]

if you still get the same problem after that then use this file after

it resets the keys and directs the two keys to Storage CardProgram FilesPocketTVPocketTV.exe

Reg.zip

[Guest mattat]

OK - I used the CAB installer (this was the first time I've tried this program), and put the files on the storage card and I am now getting the file not found error.

Any suggestions!

[Guest ambro]

yeah thats wot i did removed the files....

then i went to reinstall it again and it said do you want to remove the previous version and it carried on...

then installed it to the storage card and it still had ipsm refrence there..

I had no problem installing PocketTV in the Phone (for testing), then removing it, then re-installing on the Storage Card.

Just don't mess with the registry. If you created any keys, remove them. If you want to make a clean PocketTV installation, you should also remove the key HKCUSoftwareMpegTVPocketTV (note: if you remove it, you will have to re-register PocketTV to obtain a new registration key)

Having installed the CAB on a clean phone and it not working (despite having rebooted phone), I then uninstalled Pocket TV and then reinstalled it - did the file association thing, tried to open the file - it didn't work - file not found, then rebooted and it still doesn't work - any further ideas?

[Guest ambro]

4) Re-install PocketTV (on the Storage Card)

If asked a question, say Yes.
