BB Desktop Software will not launch

PC, running Windows XP  - Upgraded to new BB Desktop Software.  Was working for about a month.  Now, Will NOT launch - getting Windows Error
Error Signature:
EventType : clr20r3     P1 : rim.desktop.exe     P2 : 6.0.1.18     P3 : 4cfdab9c

I re-connected to BB and loaded the "fix" versus the fuill version and still cannot load.
From the Windows Control Panel - Removed the BB Desktop Software and re-booted the PC.  Re-Loaded the full Desktop Software from the BB website.  Still NOTHING - except for the Windows errror.
Dead in the water.  Cannot launch the BB Software to connect and synch BB Storm!  iPhone on Verizon is looking better and better.  Mid-February is NOT coming soon enough. 
Help!

 No one is "dueling" , we are tying to fix your problem.
Re-stating my Problem:
1.  I had loaded BB DM6 on a Windows XP PC about 3 months ago with no problems.  In fact, it linked with all aspects of Outlook that I needed  (Calendar, Task and Contacts).  Yeah!!  This did not happen with the 'original' BB DM that I loaded January 2009 when I bought the BB Storm from Verizon, but I lived with this short coming of BB.  Built my calendar and contacts directly into the BB Storm.
 So the original installation of the desktop manager software loaded in January 2009 did not correctly function with Outlook.
2.  OK.  So something happened last week and the BB DM6 will not launch without getting the error message that I put in my 1st Posting of this Problem.
"So something happened". We can only go on your description of the problem. If you have no idea what happened  i couldn't possibly know.  The only "guess" would be an there was an auto update to existing software or you have added software.
3.  I went to BB and loaded the "Fix" for PC.  Also, this did not Launch BB DM6.
4.  Unloaded the BB DM6 with the Windows XP Control Panel "Remove Program".  Re-Booted the PC.  Then, went to BB and reloaded the BB DM6.  Same error message and no Launch.
Try using the repair/modify option in the Remove Program function on the DM installation currently loaded on the PC.
5.  I am far from the "Techie" that the respondants to this Problem are!!  I am a SIMPLE End User of this BB Storm having mucho problems ... all of a sudden ... last week after using BB DM6 without the problems.
6.  What can a SIMPLE, non-techie End User do?  From the Respondants Postings .. I am reading about Loading Roxio for BB DM from the Roxio website?  Also, reading about that the Unload from the Windows XP Control Panel, Remove Programs, is incomplete for the removal of the BB DM6.  I am being directed to removing 'hidden' files/keys as directed in a BB Problem Solving Posting for the CLEAN Removal of BB DM6--- which is surely not written for the SIMPLE, non-techie End User!!
The error indicates a problem with some Roxio software. If you were using DM with Media manager prior Roxio was a part of that software, or you are running Roxio software.The Roxio information I gave you was to remove Roxio drivers not load Roxio software.
In your description of the January 2009 install  there were problems with the install that were never correctly addressed. What we are suggesting is to remove all traces of the Various installation of desktop manager which includes editing the registry. That is why using Windows remove programs is not sufficient.
Once complete you will be installing a fresh copy of DM on your system, this will ensure that the DM software can correctly integrate wit both Windows and MS Outlook
The install procedure is SUGGESTED as the best resolution to your problem. Whether you run it or not is your decision.
7.  In simple non-Techie language for this SIMPLE, non-techie End User ... what can I do to fix the problem and be able to launch BB DM6 from my Windows XP PC??
 This is as plain "non-techie" as I can write it.
Thanks,

  • Blackberry Desktop Software will not Sync with Outlook

    Hello,
    I recently installed Blackberry Desktop Manager 7.1 for Windows on a PC and it will not allow me to sync with outlook calendar, memos and contacts.  It will however sync windows Contacts, if I try to select the option to sync with calendar or memos it gives me an error that now compatible software can be found and to visit blackberry.com/desktop/docs.  I am running Outlook 2010 32bit in Windows 7 with the latest Blackberry desktop software.  I am not to familiar with Blackberry so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Well I believe I have figured out the answer to my own question, I ended up having to do a repair installation for Office 2010 and I was able to sync from outlook to the Blackberry.

  • Desktop Software will not open in WIndows 7 64 bit

    Hello
    I have downloaded versions 6.0.1, 6.0.2 and 6.1 of BlackBerry Desktop SOftware separately and after uninstalling the version I set up. In each case set up goes fine and a shortcut comes up and I select to start automatically after the setup, but when the program starts it hangs on the bb logo and goes no further. It is not even listed in the Task Manager as running. The same happens when I double click on the shortcut. I try running it in all the compatibility modes from WIndows XP SP 3 to Vista SP2 and the program just hangs without opening. I clean my Registry and I run the same downloaded program (transfer via flash drive) on another computer running WIndows vista SP 2 and it opens perfectly on that other computer so the downloaded fiel is fine.. I do not have another windows 7 64 bit computer to try to see if there is something on my computer that is causing the problem. Help!

    Hello
    I am using a Windows 7 64 bit computer which is why i said , "I do not have another windows 7 64 bit computer to try to see if there is something on my computer". The fact that it worked on yours suggests there is something on my computer that is causing the problem. Did you run it as administrator and in Window 7 compatibility mode, or as downloaded (which is Windows XP SP 3 by default)?
    Thanks

    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Quick Time Pro will not launch

    10/04/10: I downloaded Quick Time 7 and purchased a key for Pro. I can open video files with QT7Pro but I cannot launch Quick Time from either the short cut that was created or from the All Programs. The only thing that happens is that the Apple Quick Time logo and name appear in the bottom of the screen as though the program was shrunk down. It will not launch. Right clicking on the icon only provides the capability to "move" "minimuze" or "close." Maximize is grayed out and so is "restore."
    I'd like to use the software I purchased to edit my videos and use some of the other features of Quick Time Pro.
    What could be the issue? HELP.
    Bill N. in Sarasota, Florida

    That sounds a bit like a blown-out QuickTime preference file, Bill.
    First we'll try rebuilding the QuickTime.qtp file, to see if that helps with the launch.
    Quit QuickTime if the button is currently showing in your Taskbar.
    We'll now have to set you up to view hidden files and folders.
    (1) Quit Safari if you have it open
    (2) Go Start > Open.
    (3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    (4) Click the View tab.
    (5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
    (6) Click OK.
    Now look for a QuickTime folder in one of the following two locations (where "UserAccountName" is the name of the user account in which QuickTime isn't launching correctly):
    C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
    ... or:
    C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
    Drag the entire QuickTime folder out onto your Desktop.
    Now launch the QuickTime Player again. (This should rebuild the folder and contained preference files.)
    Does the Player launch properly this time? Or do you still get the same trouble?

  • Lightroom 3 Will not launch

    Windows 7 with lots of ram and I7 proc.
    LR3 has worked for years on this system.
    I have deleted the preference file.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, both from the origional disc and download from adobe.
    The software still will not launch.  How can I fix this?

    Well, it certainly sounds as though there's a possible problem within your user profile. How you proceed will largely be dependent upon the effort involved in moving all your settings (i.e. for all your other applications) over to a new account. For me it would be a bit of a PITA, though maybe something like WET (Windows Easy Transfer) could be used (it's intended use is to copy all your settings to a new installation, but it may be possible to use it in this context). Maybe a repair re-install of Windows 7 might fix it. Other than that, I'm fresh out of ideas, but maybe try the Windows 7 Forums, as this seems more of a Windows issue than a Lightroom problem?
    One last thought: does your own user account have admin privileges? Even if it does, have you tried right-clicking on the desktop icon for Lightroom and selecting "Run as administrator"?

  • 10.4.10 Update - Finder will not launch

    Hi all,
    I updated to 10.4.10 using Software Update.
    (I know, I know! I'll never do it again! Promise.)
    Now the Finder will not launch and neither of my internal drives will appear on the desktop (I assume because the Finder won't launch). When I try to launch it manually, nothing happens.
    According to prescription, I have tried the following:
    • Reset the PRAM.
    • Tried another User Login.
    • Tried Safe Boot.
    • Tried to force prebinding in Terminal, but get an error (see below).
    • Deleted the Finder and Sidebar prefs.
    • Downloaded and installed the combo updater.
    • Eliminated third-party contextual menu items and startup items.
    I am loathe to Archive and Reinstall a new system. I just did this a few months back and all my Pro apps quit working, so I had to start from scratch with a clean harddrive and brand new system.
    Error when trying to force prebinding:
    update_prebinding: error: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib

    I guess that means there is a problem with a library, but I don't know how to fix it.

    I did the update using the auto software update. I didn't know that it wasn't a good idea.
    My finder launches, but the Apple menu seems to have double options [Restart... and Restart] [Shut down... and Shut down. I also keep getting a black box around items I've selected.
    When I did the listing in Terminal this is what I get:

    Should I have the -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2267176 Mar 14 2006 /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.0.3.dylib AND -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2001208 Jun 25 11:15 /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.0.4.dylib?

  • Sound card Installer will not launch

    Hello folks,
    I've downloaded & tried to install a Roland UA-1EX USB sound card driver for OS 9 and the installer will not launch.
    I already use the unit with OSX.
    Usually these are VISE installers with a blue icon but this one decompresses into a white generic document.
    I have had exchanges with technical support & whilst being helpful he swears the file is ok.
    I used Filetyper to look at the file to see if I could correct the filetype & tried comparing to other similar installers but with no success.
    I have a ResEdit to but don't know how to use it.
    I went to the ftp site & downloaded it from there as opposed to the support site, still no joy.
    I've tried different ways of decompressing & checked on my other computers but I can't get it to launch.
    I get the feeling he is not actually loading it up on an OS machine but I haven't come out & said it...
    Can anyone help?
    here's a screenshot of the windows...

    I found that download off a link on this page:
    http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=743
    It is full of warnings that it cannot be used or installed under Classic.
    I must also give you the usual warning that any Mac software (Applications and some other files) unpacked on a PC will be damaged beyond repair. Final unpacking MUST be done on a Mac.
    When I unpack the .sit file, I get an Installer vise 3.6 Lite Installer file, plus the other files shown in your windows. They do not have blank Icons.
    Have you tried rebuilding the OS 9 Desktop File lately ? (Hold down Command and Option when the Finder is starting up.) This sometimes solves such problems.

  • Iphoto will not launch anymore

    My Powerbook G4 was not shutting down automatically. After trying to troubleshoot the issue with Apple Support, the tech suggested reinstalling MAC OS X. After reinstalling the OS, the Powerbook started shutting down properly (although it's back to that state again after installing software updates). Im most concerned that iPHOTO will not launch anymore. When I open Finder, there are no pictures in the Photo Library. Only the folders that I saved to the desktop contain photos. I do see my entire library of photos when I go into the Desktop and ScreenSaver options. I've reinstalled the bundled software package from Disc 1 and 2 that came with the Powerbook. Any idea how to resolve this? By the way, iDVD and GarageBand will not launch either now. Please Help?

    Sandie,
    It is likely that a separate user account was created and so your pictures are not in the user account you are using, which is why they do not show up in your account. Go to users and you will probably see several accounts, Your iPhoto pictures are probably in another account.
