Title: Installation problems, "Select Skin" blank in conf
Post by: kinos on December 19, 2003, 10:59:10 AM
Hello

When I run the config util, in the general tab it won't show anything in the Select Skin (DLL) dropdown menu. I'm guessing this is the reason why I only get a blank screen in the program itself. All the other config tabs work just fine. I've tried uninstalling, checking for references to TP in the registry, soft resetting and then installing again. To no avail :cry: . It seems to save some info somewhere cause all the other config info is pre-filled when I first launch the config util after a reinstall? This is probably just a stupid new user error. Running 0.11.0 on a clean 4155.

Oh, and what is 'POOM'?

Any help much appreciated,

Kinos

Did you set the base path in the config to Program Files TodayPlus?

I have the same or a similar problem.  I initially set the skin in the config.exe file.  There was a list of all the skins in the directory and I chose one.  Now, after doing other things in the config.exe file, the select skin box is empty, and it is blued out and impossible to write in anything.  The base path is set to the TodayPlus, I also tried setting it to the skins subdirectory, but it still doesn't work.  Help please.  scott51

You should wait for the GURU of this board to help before following steps below.

To clear the registry you need a registry editor. Then follow these steps. But remember any fooling around in the registry can be dangerous, unless you are very careful.  These steps remove regestry entries. But you should remove the program first from ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS. Then follow the steps and reinstall.

1. Load regestry editor

2. go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER

3. Then SOFTWARE

4. Then SRSSoft

5. Then Delete SRSSoft

I have followed this carefully as it is also happening to me. Uninstalling doesn't seem to fix my problem which brings me to one question

"Load Registry Editor"? Where? What? Is this some extra software I have to install or something already on my iPaq?

The registry editor is a freeware program, I am posting the link. Like I had said before, be careful.
