configuring today plus...?

[jk74]

I just downloaded and installed Today Plus v11 to my Toshiba e755. For some reason, when selected it doens't show up on my Today screen, and when I try to run the configuration program it just shows me an hourglass for about 5 seconds and then goes away (like the program tried to run, but terminated).

I loaded the .NET stuff like requested as well...

Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks.

Have you tried a soft-reset yet?

[jk74]

absolutely I have done several soft resets, and even reloaded the program. Nothing helps.

It's strange as I had this working before, but I had to relaod my PPC and now its just not working for me.

Did you try to run install over the top of the old installation?
I hate to say this, but you should use a registry editor and remove the TodayPlus entry, and of course uninstall the program. Then start a new install. That I think is the only way to go.

[jk74]

ok  -  i just tried that and it didnt solve the problem. All I deleted however was the HKLM/Software key found at Apps/SSR Today Plus.
Any other suggestions?

[joelw135]

Do you have any other plug-ins running? If you do turn them off.

[jk74]

nah, nothing else running. the today screen just comes up blank when I have TodayPlus selected under 'Items' by itself.

I do have a few other plug ins loaded, but they're not selected.

Should I mention that i'm running WM2003?

Try using the registry editor to go to srssoft/todayplus. When you tap on the todayplus you should see a line called "skin". Make sure that it says skins\"the name of the skin you want to use.txt" . If it doesn't change it so it says the skin you want. For example mine says:

Skins\CalendarPlus111.txt

Hope this helps.

First of all, thanks for the info.
What I see in my registry however under HKLM/Software/Apps is

SRSSoft TodayPlus

not srsssoft/todayplus

In other words, there is no TodayPlus subfolder.
Can you please confirm and be more specific? When you put a "/" character in the string of text used to define a registry entry, you are usually suggesting that the text after the / is the name of the folder one level down in the hierarchy. Is that what you are suggesting?

Also, in my "SRSSoft Todayplus" folder, there is no skins key.

What kind of key should it be? A string value?

Why is this so difficult?

[jk74]

oh, and other thing i'm noticing, is that my device will sometimes soft-reset when I select the TodayPlus item for the today screen and click 'OK'

very odd

this software doesnt seem all that stable to me

It looks like this -SRSSoft
------------------------TodayPlus

In the sub directory TodayPlus there is a key that looks like this, don't mind the dashes, I need them for spacing.

skin--------------------------Skins\CalendarPlus

Look for that entry, and where I have CalendarPlus, you put the name of the skin you have on your PPC and you want to use there after the Skins\

Here is a screen capture of what I am talking about. Does your registry look like this? Just so you know I am using rescoe's registry editor.

Hi folks

Iwas just about to post the same as BW (so I'll post it anyway   )

This is using PHM regedit... my skin name is "JLW calendar skin" ( it is a modification of BW's excellent skin) and you can see the first few characters.....

And (like you, JK74) I am running WM2003, so that shouldn't be the issue.

[jk74]

ok, I think I know the issue here. I was talking about the HKLM hive.
It seems you guys are using HKCU (current user)

I have the TodayPlus folder, but no skin subfolder
I only have:

battery and uptime subfolders within

If blazingwolf comes back he mite have other ideas, but I would try to delete all the keys in SRSSoft and try to reinstall Blazingwolf mite be back in a little while.
