configuring today plus...?

[Blazingwolf]

Give joelw135's idea a shot and let us know what happens. If you can't get it working we might have to create the registry section from scratch.

well, it seems that perhaps the real problem is that my config program wont run, and that is what I'm assuming would properly build all these registry keys for me.

Perhaps I can just enter them in by hand.
Anyone care to export their entire TodayPlus key (with all subkeys) for me?? and post here?

[Blazingwolf]

Yes I am more then willing to do that. However, try deleting the srssoft key and reinstalling first. If for no other reason then to humor me. I would really like to know if that works or not. Thanks.

Here you go.

It's not really a zip file - just change the extension from .zip to .reg

Gotta go for tonight.

Good luck.........Scotty

ok, well playing with that registry file just screwed my whole device, so I reset from scratch.
The darn config program still doesn't work, believe it or not. It just wont run.
When I check the registry, the only subfolder under TodayPlus is 'uptime'

[Scotty]

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

I can't imagine what's wrong - I have NO reference to SRSSoft or TP under my HKLM - only under HKCU.....

If you PPC has just been reset, just import the registry and try from there.  If not try to download a new TodayPlus, maybe you have a corrupt download.

[jk74]

Ive tried all of this. Is there an older version I should try? Will it have been expired by now?

[jk74]

the problem with importing the registry is that it doesn't merge. It seems to overwrite the whole thing, so when your device soft-resets, it totally goes bonkers.
I would recommend against doing that, unless you specifically have a merge function on your registry program.

I'm using PHM RegEdit, btw.

furthermore, can someone reply with the correct order of procedures to configure this software?
Once you install it, it seems that it is automatically selected as an ITEM within the Today screen selection of Items. Do you first run the program, or do you first run config, or what?
Do you need to reset at all?
I find this so frustrating, as it seems that there is some type of problem getting this to run on Toshiba e755 hardware.

Is there anyone else out there with a Toshiba e755 running Windows Mobile 2003 who is using this software?

[jk74]

also, as another point of note, I first had the .NET stuff installed, but since that didn't help me, and since I read somewhere else that 2003 comes with the .NET stuff installed already, I want to mention that I've deleted it and still, the config program doesn't work.

However, with the software loaded it seems that the program tried to run (I get an hourglass for a few seconds), but when the .NET stuff isn't loaded, config does nothing at all.

[jk74]

also, if I try to run TodayPlus out of the program files folder by itself (as an executable), it blanks out my screen (with the exception of the input selection method in the lower right-hand corner. However, it seems like it's running as ICBar shows it to be in memory (running), and its program close button also works, but that's about it.

[Blazingwolf]

Since you are running WM2003 you should not have to install the update to the .net compact framework. For the instillation you should be able to copy the cab file to your PPC then tap on it to install. I then usually go into the config file so that I can set up which skin I want to use and make sure that the base path is set to the correct area.

For whatever reason the registry is not being setup correctly on your unit. Have you tried to add each line to the registry by hand instead of doing an import? This is the hard way but since you have tried everything else I don't see any other options.

There have been other people with similar problems as yours but a hard reset seems to have taken care of the problem. Do search  for one of those threads and see if they mention something that might help you.

[jk74]

Thanks Blazingwolf.
Do you think that you could provide me with the details for the registry so that I can set it up manually?
I've started, but since I dont have any of the keys, I have to create them all manually. I managed to get the skin up and running. It seems that it took a few minutes for the today page to be updated, but its there now...with little or no information however.

I need the detail for what goes under the TodayPlus folder in the registry and what goes into each sub-folder. I know this is a pain in the butt...
How can I change the city for the weather as well?
I've downloaded the LTwisted0.11.0 skin, which may be a bit bold on my part...but at the very least I need the basic config for battery, icons, city, coords, calendarfilter, etc???
I'm just referencing the screen shot you posted yesterday, btw.

Hi jk74

Yesterday, I posted the exported registry file for todayplus. You installed it, but said it messed up your machine.  However, if you just rename the file to a txt extension (for example, change the name to SRSSoft.txt), then you can open it in Notepad - and you'll see all the contents of the registry in ASCII.

I just did it (DL'd the file from the previous page in this thread, renamed it to txt, & opened it). I attach a screen cap of the top part of the file.....

Good luck

Scotty
