Crash - Now dutty/htc touch keypad causes reboot failures

[andyb2000]

After a pretty nasty crash recently (screen turned to interference then total power off), I restored from my SPB backup (thank goodness for that software!)

Since then, the Dutty and HTC touch keyboard + default keyboard haven't worked right, and even re-installing the cab's seems to cause it not to be sorted.
Moreso, if I try and reboot after trying to re-install then the device locks up and never gets to the windows mobile boot screen, so I assume something is getting corrupted somewhere and causing windows not to boot.

So, can anyone please advise how to manually (since the uninstall/remove programs doesn't work in this case) remove the applications:
'duttythroy Default TouchKeyboard.cab'
'HTC Touch Keyboard + Keypad.cab'

Or advise how to extract the cabs and figure this problem out!

A bit of extra info, if it 'thinks' the keyboard/keypad is installed, I can see it in the list of keyboards available to me, but if I pick it, I get the default keyboard and the menu jumps back (I'm guessing it realised the touch keyboard/keypad wasn't working so defaulted back).

Thanks for any advise!

To me, it sounds like your backup is the problem. Hard-reset and use the keyboards without restoring your files first. If they work then some application/file in your backup is causing the problem.
