Problem reinstalling Tomtom

Hi,
I installed Tomtom3 but he didn't installed the voices
I uninstalled it and now I'm trying to reinstall it but the only thing he wants to do is reinstall the maps
I un/reinstall active sync, I did a hard reset and the PDA, same thing
any clue where this problem could come from ?
thx

strange story.
For these cases I have saved the appropiate cabs for TomTom: Navigator, GPS, Voice, Wizard.
I can now re-install without my PC.
Saving the cabs is possible when you do the install without the pocketPC connected and the search your machine for any cab files.
Remeber to put a file with the act code for TomTom if you really want to be independent for re-installing

first of all, thanks for the answerwell, can you be a little more explicit
I just tried what you told me and I can't find the installation files (cab) for the application
and actually the cd menu, is telling me to install the application first, but it doesn't give me the choice to do it
I guess there is a file somewhere, telling the navigator.exe is already installed
I don't get it

you should uninstall tomtom completely.
If not possible i suggest a hard-reset.
Then run the ttn3 SETUP.
Its ok to have the device connected, but DO NOT acklowledge the question on installing in the activesync application manager.
Do a global search on your machine for *.cab
The names are indiative

two (hopefully) simple issues.

Ok i've just thought of two things that are getting kinda irritating on my M5000.
Firstly the fact that no programs seem to un-install, Every time i try to remove any progs i get an error telling me that the uninstall was unsucsessful and asking if i wish to remove it fromt the list of installed progs.
Anyone else have this problem? is there anything we can do about it or is it a case of manually removing everything?
the other thing is the hotmail email account, i dont ever use hotmail and it annoys me having to scroll through the extra account in messaging. is there a way to remove the hotmail account?

Regarding your uninstalling problem. If it happens on all programs you try to uninstall, then your uninstaller is corrupted. If it only happens on one program, then it's probably just that the uninstall information of that program is corrupted. You may want to try other utilities to do the uninstalling (eg. SKTools).
About the hotmail, well, that's easy. Go to Messaging -> Tools -> Options, tap and hold on Hotmail, then Delete.

Have you deleted some files from "windows\appmgr" ??

I've not deleted or changed any files at all. i've had this prob with all three handsets i've had and never been able to remove programs. even since brand new. programs include sbp pocket plus sbp gprs, tom tom, code north irc, resco explorer.
i've just done a hard reset but not installed any exrom cab's so in the next few days i might figure out whats wrong.
i'm sure i've tried to delete the hotmail account before iirc the delete option was greyed out. again i'll have a look when i'm home.

FIRST: If the files have today plug-ins, you first need to disable those plug-ins prior to uninstalling.
SECOND: Have you ever tried changing your bootsplash screen using EnableRapi.CAB? If your answer is YES, then that is the culprit.
To bypass these problems, try to install the same file again, your Universal will show a window stating you need to uninstall the program 1st, press YES, then your Universal will also ask you later where to install it. You can cancel the install if all you want is REMOVE the application completely, or install the UPDATED application if that was what your initial intention.

Is anyone else having issues with slow device after installing some prgs?

I've described this before under different topics, but some cabs and exe files that I install make my whole phone like 50% slower. And you cannot restore the speed by uninstalling the programs - you have to do a hard reset. I finally wised up and bought a backup software so I don't have to reinstall, reset, and rerecord voice tags all over again. I go ahead and do a backup with Sprite and I've found that I cannot live without this program now. It's REALLY good. I know some people don't believe in backup programs like Sprite and SPB, but I will never be without this program.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else is having this problem besides me. I usually get into trouble because every new cab file I see, I try to download and run. So far these are the programs that I've identified that cause this:
HTC Home cab (old one)
HTC Album
Voice Commander
Touch Keyboard
There may be a few more (or combinations of programs that cause this), but those are the ones I remember. Also, was wondering if anyone was able to restore the speed of the device without hard resetting.
BTW, I'm using Meschle's Premium Plus ROM.

yes i did but i soft reset and all was ok for me

Deleting from the Program list

I have used Settings>System>Remove Programs to remove a game but it did not totally remove everything and the program name still exists in the program list displayed in the Remove Programs app. Can I access the list and manually delete it?

Think you need to navigate to WINDOWS->START MENU->PROGRAMS there should be a bunch on .lnk files those lnk files drive the program list

nope, that doesn't do it
The .lnk files seem to be shortcuts to the main programs. The program I'm trying to delete from the Program list that appears in the Remove Programs app doesn't even have a shortcut there. Meaning that this Program list must be located somewhere else. Does anyone know where?

What happens when you try to uninstall it again?

I get a message that reads "...was not completely removed. Do you wish to remove it from the list of installed programs?" If I say "Yes", it still does not remove it.

you may want to give the program a try:
Tms Uninstaller: Will allow you to delete programs that don't show up in the normal remove programs. Direct download in link. (freeware) ~ Thanks Senax
I stumbled across that the other day while trolling for apps n tweaks...you can find the info and cab file here in the 1st post of " Software worth installing on the TP2 *Continuously Updated, links in thread* [Nov 25] " Thread:

I havent used the program...i just remembered seeing it and thought mabe it could help ya...
Peace...

Thanks
Thanks. That program did it. Nice little app for removing programs. It said it had to delete something from the Registry. Maybe the Program list is there somehow??

No. It's back!
Spoke too soon. That app seemed to remove the program from the list but it's reappeared! Can anyone help?

lmao...that sucks...attempt to reinstall it then delete it...

You've got company
I too am dealing w/this issue. I've even resorted to deleting everything related in the registry to no avail! Now I cannot find the cab for DHR CommMgrPro. I was going to try to installing & uninstalling again. POOP!!

How do you Uninstall apps that won't go away?

I am trying to re-install mskip's program to record both sides of a phone conversation in order to reset the relevant registry entries after a device hard reset. A message states that the old version of the program will be removed first. The next message says that the program was not fully removed and that the new installation failed. I can neither remove the remnants of it nor install a fresh version. I have tried manually deleting all references to the program with Resco Explorer and also tried to Uninstall with TMS Uninstaller but without success. Can you help?

Try removing it with SKTools.

I have this prg called clear temp on my old tilt and it works on my tilt 2 as well. has an opt to clean bad uninstalls. u can try it.
