Now cannot load programs from flash drive? = Help

[andyjp7]

Dear all
I've had my htc advantage x7510 for a month or so now, just got it set up all lovely and now completely randomly it won't load many of the applications i have installed on the flash drive. I get the cannot load xxxx file as its not signed or one of the components is missing.

I can see the flash drive in explorer and copy and delete files to and from it, but i can't even uninstall any of the problematic programs or resinstall them as it fails each time.

Is this a WM6 error needing a hard reset (tried a soft reset and no good) or is it something to do with WM6 now not fully seeing the flash drive?

Help - god this is damn frustrating.

Regards
Andy

Do you have an SD Card? Seems to me there is something strange with the registry settings.

I remember having a similar problem back when I was using my Universal. For some reason the Storage Card got renamed so none of my applications would launch.

You might have to do a Hard Reset and a full install from scratch. This time invest on SPB Backup and make sure you keep a fresh copy.

If it is only a matter of changed (for any reason) name of the disk, then you can manualy change back the name of the disk and then softreset. It should be named "Flash Disk" (if we are talking about 16GB disk).

The system won't allow you to simply rename it.

Back then I found out the cause was WM5torage. I had to find a way to disable WM5torage first, delete Storage Card folder (newly created), and simply soft reset. Renaming the Storage Card 2 to it's original name "Storage Card" did not work, the system won't allow me.

I never had a problem with Flash disk, but few times had a problem with Storage Card.
If one of your programs uses it (i.e. your poutlook saves your attachments on it) and your card is out or not working then the system automatically creates a folder in main memory named "Storage Card".
Next, when your real storage card starts to work again, the system names it "Storage Card2", and you are in a trouble, cause all your programs using it, can not reach their folders on "Storage Card".

The solution:
Delete the "Storage Card" folder (using proper explorer: Resco or Total Commander), and then either rename your Storage Card2 to Storage Card, or just softreset.
I've done it many times.

I assume similarly could happen with Flash disk if for any reason (somebody fiddling with registry, in.eg.).

I have Total Commander installed in my Storage Card back then. Even now, all my applications are installed in my Flash Disk. So Total Commander did not work either when that happened to me. I had to use File Explorer, and as you know it is not capable of doing that as I found out. I assume you have Total Commander and Resco Explorer installed in the Main Memory.

I am just glad back then that I was able to sort it out and not do a Hard Reset, although I was VERY close to doing it from frustration. :( Maybe I need to follow your tip, install Total Commander in the Main Memory. :) Just in case.
