BlackBerry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close. (I am sick of seeing this!)

Can anyone help me? Does not matter if I use the version on disk or download the one from the site, I get the above message every time. I tried using 5.0 and it worked, but was daft enough to update when asked. Is there anything I can do? I am using XP on my Samsung V25 laptop.
Regards Paul

So here's how I fixed my issue.
Delete the Rim.Desktop.exception.log located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data
Run the application, it will crash with the error message above and create a new Rim.Desktop.exception.log file. Open it in notepad and look through it.
In my case the exception was this.
Exception message is: The current build operation (build key Build Key[Rim.Desktop.Shell.MyBlackBerryApplication, null]) failed: Could not load file or assembly 'Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager, Version=6.0.2.44, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies
I followed the suggestion of renaming the file C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\Modules\Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManger.dll to Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManger.dll.old
I then tried to lauch the application and it crashed, you must do this! renaming it back without this step will not work. Then I went back and renamed the dll file back to it's original name Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManger.dll and sure enough the application worked.
Must be some messed up reference somewhere, it's stupid and RIM should figure this out before releasing updates. Obviously your issue may be different but the exception.log file should point you in the right direction.

Blackberry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close

When I try to open Blackberry Desktop the message I get is that Blackberry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and as a result I cannot sync. Does this mean I need to uninstall and reinstall? If I reinstall will I lose the update that I have on my phone that has changed the interface? Will I have to reinstall that as well?
Thanks for any help or advice you can give me.

I suggest this thread:

It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Also, for XP users, please be sure you are on SP3...that is the current minimum level required with the latest Desktop Software.
Good luck!

Windows XP gives message "BlackBerry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close." when trying to start Desktop Manager

I apologize if this issue has already been handled in others' posts; I just can't locate my specific issue, and I'm a newbie with this.
I first encountered the Windows crash shown in subject yesterday when trying to sync my Blackberry. Message is displayed after the program churns for awhile, but hasn't even detected a remote device or shown that it is doing any work.
I vaguely recall agreeing to an update a few days back. Perhaps Windows has updated recently as well?
I have uninstalled and installed most recent Desktop version several times, rebooting in between. I have tried installing original version as well - Desktop at least starts then, but bombs before syncing anything. I also have rolled back my Windows system to before last Windows update.
Here is the error message that I believe is associated with this problem:
Sunday, December 26, 2010
.NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting
EventType clr20r3, P1 rim.desktop.exe, P2 6.0.1.18, P3 4cfdab9c, P4 microsoft.practices.composite, P5 2.0.1.0, P6 4c58abaf, P7 12b, P8 50, P9 sclhiaanmqhkf4zdfpvvwejkphn1z uj, P10 NIL.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Bold 9650 running on Windows XP
I finally solved my problem with blackberry desktop manager 6.0.1 by going bck to 6.0 version and here is how I did it, since the 6.0 version is not available on blackberry's website or on a disk and I have spent over 30 hours with BB tech support all to no avail in fixing 6.0.1 and enabling it to open.
1) Removed any Blackberry desktop software from my computer via the add/remove program in the control panel. No need to deal with a clean uninstall in terms of registry cleaner, etc.
2) Installed 6.0 which i was lucky enough to have backed up the intallation files from several months ago when I backed up my entire system to an external drive.
3) Opened BB desktop mananager and connected my device and configured my sysn with outlook and all worked out.
If anyone needs BB Desktop Manager 6.0 to go back to a version that once worked for you, please let me know and I will email it to you via yousendit.com since it is a 95mb file.

BB Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close

I installed BB Desktop V 6.1 (610_b034_multilanguage) on my laptop that runs Windows XP. Installation completes. When I attempt to open the program, it gives me "BB Desktop software has encountered a problem and needs to close." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've rebooted. I've closed all other programs before install and before running the program.
Thoughts on how to fix?
Thanks,
Randy

I'm having the same problem after upgrade from 5.1 to 6.0. AMy Blackberry Bold 9700, just bought this morning. Appreciate any assistance. Thanks

Lotus Notes 8 + BB DM 5.0.1: BB Desktop Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I just purchased a Bold 9700 and am trying to sync my Lotus Notes 8 calendar to my BB. I am using Desktop Manager 5.0.1. I appear to have set up the syncronization properly because it starts but when it reaches record 1057, I receive a message that reads "BlackBerry Desktop Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." When I click on "details" I see the following information: Error Signature. AppName: Desktopmgr.exe   AppVer: 5.0.1.37   ModName: Insections.dll   ModVer: 7.1.1.129 Offset: 001a32ed. How can I successfully sync my calendar and BB?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Here is an article that may be pertinent:
KB10340 "BlackBerry Desktop Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." during the synchronization process
Otherwise, I would think that record 1057 is a bad record and is causing this problem. You might try figuring out which item that is and deleting it, then trying again.
You also could try activating advanced logging and seeing it that provides more details to help you:
KB01451 How to turn on advanced synchronization logging if a wired synchronization fails
Hopefully something there is helpful!
Cheers!

Desktop Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close.

My system was working fine until today. Now after I sync my BB Pearl with Outlook i get this message and my Desktop Mgr shuts down. I am running Desktop v4.2.2.14. The syncing operation seems to be workign just fine but then the Desktop Mgr shutsdown about 15 seconds after the sync is complete.
I am running Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP Version 5.0.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software with no improvement. Any other ideas?

Have spent 6 months being bounced from company help desk to Blackberry help within my company to Verizon etc. First time I found this forum. Good to know I'm not the only person having major issues. My sync worked perfectly until I did a recommended software upgrade. Now I cannot sync my calendar to my Lotus Notes calendar. Contacts sync works fine but the calendar was my primary reason for moving to a smartphone. Will try backing down to the old ServicePak. Thanks.

When trying to start Firefox Iget this message "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close". How do I solve this?

I downloaded and installed FF with no problem. But it will not run. I get the above message everytime. IE runs -no problem! Google Chrome does the same as Firefox!
What can be the problem?

Hey lenharris,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down ''shift'' while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

"(program).exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Hi, I was using Tweetdeck for the past few months without any problems. Recently, the application still works fine.. it opens as normal, all posts I am following appear etc., but when I try to send a tweet the application closes and I get the error
"tweetdeck.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I uninstalled tweetdeck and reinstalled it many times. Sometimes it would work for twenty minutes, other times not at all. I got fed up trying, so uninstalled it and downloaded Seesmic. This new application opened perfectly, all users I am following and their tweets updated perfectly, until again I went to post a tweet and it closes and I get the error
"seesmic desktop.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
As these are the only two applications I have used that give me this error, and are also the only two applications I have used that are related to Adobe AIR, I can only assume the problem is connected somehow?
I was wondering if any of you might have any suggestions on how I could fix this? I am not the most tech saavy guy, so any help would be greatly appreciated as I am starting to lose patience with it!
Thanks in advance.

You might try uninstalling the AIR runtime and re-installing it. You might also try contacting the developers of these applications to find out whether the problem is related to issues they already know about.

Gaming issue - exe has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hi everyone
I was wondering if there was anyone out there that could help me.
I can load a game onto my laptop (nothing demanding, just football manager) however when I then go to open the game when loaded i get the following message
"(whatever the game is).exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for this inconvience.
Can anyone recommend a way of sorting this out?
Thanks in advance
Rich

Hi Rich
Try to contact game manufacturer. They must know why this message occurs. In my opinion there is some problem with software (if xxx.exe makes problem). They must have enough experience with own products.
Bye and good luck!
