I use skype on my XDA IIs and as I travel a lot I find it a cheap and easy way to chat to my kids.

The problem is that every time I turn on my phone or it gets any kind of message or connects to my wireless router to sync with my laptop I get the following message.

'cannot execute \storage card\skype technologies s.a. 1.0\skype.exe'

Thing is there's nowt wrong with the storage card, now I've uninstalled skype it still says that. I even bought SK Tools to try to rid myself of this but it remains and the damn thing means now I wake up to a flat battery every morning.

Can someone point me towards the file I have to edit to stop this and of course a suitable editor. I am guessing the initial problem was caused by me installing skype to the storage card.

hey! maybe you should look again into the "Notifiy Que" in SK Tools. Look attentively at every entry there and remove everything that has got to do with skype.

Alternatively you may reinstall skype, do softrest (take attention not to run the skype app after restart!) and uninstall skype again via SK Tools --> Uninstall App

The PDA2k seems to be slow in initially picking up the Storage Card on a power on.

People who use MP3 ringtones from their Storage card have the same access problem.

The SD drivers are known to be slow at both reset and power on, there is a definate lag - this is documented by WebIS (the Pocket Informant people) and Spb Software House. It is recommended that anything the can be considered a system service or which interacts with the Today screen be installed to the Main Memory.
