Can't install programs

[ryano2121]

I have tried installing a bunch of different programs using both cab and active sync methods and always the installation is unsuccessful. I tried re-installing programs using cabs I used before and they don't work either. What is wrong?

After doing a lot of reading, it appears I am going to have to hard reset.

I am running a custom ROM. If I hard reset, do I have to re-flash the custom ROM?

If I run a backup program, will that re-load all my programs?

A hard reset brings your phone back to the exact way it was either out-of-box or on your most recent flash. It resets your ROM (either custom or stock_ back to it's original state. You will lose all programs (except for OEMs cooked in to the ROM), settings, messages, mail, calendar items, contacts, etc. Make sure you back up the information and cabs you need.
If you are having such a bad conflict, I would recommend not using a back up program to automatically re-do all of your settings. You are most likely going to set yourself up to see the same errors.
Take your time and put the programs and settings back one by one.

Good luck!

You may want to check how much program space you have left on your phone. It may simply be you need to make room but removing an old/unused program. I did the same thing just last week
