Scheduled programs not running

[silverpal]

Hi,

I have a problem running scheduled programs on my device. Let me explain further. I installed a third party alarm program (third one so far) on the storage card and set it to ring the alarm at a certain time. When I tested it manually, it worked without a hitch. But the next morning, instead of ringing as it was scheduled to, I got a "cannot execute "/Storage Card/<exe name>".

The same problem happened when I scheduled PIMBackup. I set it to back up my device everyday. On the first day, it would show "cannot execute /Storage Card/<exe name>", and it would not show anything subsequent days and it still doesn't run.

I tried putting PIMBackup on the device instead of the Storage Card, but the same problem occurs.

I have no idea what is wrong or what is interfering with the scheduler but the same thing doesn't happen to others apparently.

Any expert can help me out here?

I'm using a HTC prophet (dopod 818pro)
WM5, ROM 2.2

Getting schedule items in Storage Card is generally a 'no no' thing to do, as it takes time for the storage card to switch on. Hence, you'll get messages as said. Anyway, as for your stuff not running on the device, I would suggest you to uninstall your PIMBackup and check the notification queue yourself (e.g. using Task Manager) for any possible PIMBackup that may be pointing to the storage card again. Then reinstall and try again.

Hey, you're right. I removed PIMBackup from the Storage Card and reset the scedule from the device itself, and now it runs without error. I never knew there was a problem running scheduled items from the storage card, but now I know. Thanks for your advice!

Sounds like a shortcut was created in the windows/start up folder. See if this holds true, and delete from the start up folder if the executable is there. Installing on your storage card should not be a problem. All my programs that are scheduled to run at certain times are installed on my storage card.You may need to re-install the program/s.
