Desktop software 4.6 stops recognizin​g Curve until system restart

Hi--New here, but not new to bberrys. I have an 8320, T-mobile, with version 4.5.0.81. Desktop is Vista Premium, with Desktop manager 4.6. Once unplugged, the computer intermittently stops recognizing bb. Nothing, including closing and re-opening desktop manager works. A computer restart and it recognizes it again. Doesn't matter which port it is plugged into, or if in cradle or plugged in direct.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, loving this curve. Best bb ever.

hello,
do I understand your issue ?
you have installed the BB USB drivers, and after that the Desktop Manager 4.6.
you launch a Windows session.
when you plug your device with the USB cable, and then use the Desktop Manager, everything is fine.
then you close the Desktop Manager entirely, including the Device Software,
and use the windows USB manager to disconnect the BB device.
when you plug the device in the same USB port, and then open the Desktop Manager again, the DM does not see the device, but you can use Windows Explorer to browse the content of the media card inside your BlackBerry.

  • Desktop software 6.0 stops responding

    New desktop software keeps locking up and stops responding when I open it?

    Try this - and it may work with other computer apps as well: Hit Control, Alt, Delete. When the Control Panel window pops up simply "X" it closed. Then things just may work again. I often have to do this - I don't know why, but it's one of those quirky little moves that you pick up.

  • Stops rendering to media until I restart the program - when exporting to H.264

    When exporting to media, sequences in Premiere Pro CS6 sometime just stop rendering to media (with no error warning)...until I restart the program. Other times the same sequence will report an "error" for "unknown" causes. This generally happens on a 2 pass variable export rendering to H.264.... but almost never on a CBR renderings. It is almost always solved with restarting Premiere.
    I'm not sure if this is related, but I just built a new system with a terabyte solid state drive and reinstalled CS6 when it seems that these errors began. The preview renderings are being saved to a partition on this drive, but the export renderings go to a different normal spinning Sata drive.
    Any suggestions?

    Others have reported the same thing, and I saw it happen once but can't tell what combination of factors is causing the encoder library to fault. Queuing the sequence into AME doesn't seem to help, nor does rendering with previews.
    The 'workaround' is to export from Premiere in another, high-quality format (e.g. Cineform AVI) then use Media Encoder to convert to H.264. I can't make it crash in standalone mode, even with VBR2.

    Hey there
    This looks like the error I was getting and I explained in details how I solved it in the following topic:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Sof​tware-for-PC/ATTENTION-Desktop-Manager-Has-stopped​...
    Can a forum admin please sticky my topic to help others with this issue or at least make an office topic with the problem and solution?
    Anyway, just to summarize the solution, just go to the following path on your blackberry (link it to your PC, select use as USB storage) and go to the following folder:
    F:\BlackBerry\system\
    You should see a file named "media sync". Rename it to anything else and then create a folder named "media sync".
    After doing this, try opening Desktop Manager again and it should work without any errors

  • Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop...

    I have a Tour 9630 and just installed v6.0 and receiving an error window "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem as caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  I have not received any message from Windows after 2 days.  Has anyone experienced this problem?  If so, I would appreciate any guidance.  I have Windows 7, if that matters. Thank you. in advance.

    Hi somewhatstock
    How far did you get with them? Did they have any ideas what might be causing the problem? Trying to work on it myself, so trying to eliminate what others might have tried. Curious why it works on my Desktop however. Losing tethering really causes problems as I rely on tethering with my laptop quite a lot.  
    Any information most welcome,
    regards,
    John

  • Desktop Software Stopped working all of the sudden..

    All of the sudden I got a windows message saying "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working" (A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.) I un-installed and re-installed the program and the same thing continues to happen. I have no idea what's going on. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Can someone help me out?

    It happens to me too just now. I just had my laptop upgraded.  before, i have it installed successfully without any problems encountered. in fact I was able to use it early yesterday before i upgraded my laptop. just now, when im trying to install the pc software, while installig it, it just gives a notification that it stopped. but later will show that i have successfully installed. but once you click to open the icon, it shows "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working". same with you i uninstall reinstall for 4x now, but still it isnt working.I even though it might be with my net connection, but it is not. I hope someone could help us. 

  • Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working

    Blackberry Torch 9850 on the Verizon Wireless Network
    Blackberry OS: 7.1 Bundle 1737 (v 7.1.0.580, Platform 5.1.0.429)
    Windows 7 Home Premium, SP11 with an full admin account
    HP Desktop computer
    For some unknown reason whenever I attempt to execute Blackberry Desktop Software version 7.1 the application returns the following error: "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working: A problem caused the program and notify you if a solution is available." The last successful use of DM was on Sunday, October 7, 2012 when I synched my phone and did a backup of the device.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed the application; uninstalled Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5 and 4.0 then re-installed .Net Framework; then re-installed DM under a new admin account and still getting the same problem. I even went as far as uninstalling Office and re-installing office and still getting the same problem. Whenever I uninstalled DM I did a manual uninstall where I removed all registry keys associated with Research in Motion including folders and still getting the same problem. I Googled the error and the articles worth reading I have already the things they mentioned.
    NOTE: I have done a lot more troubleshooting that is listed. But since I did so much to get this to work it will take me an entire novel to list all the things I have done to get this app to work again.
    Called VZW and they got me in contact with RIM. RIM did pretty much the same things I did and after spending 7 hours on the phone with them they concluded I need to reformat my drive. When the tech made that suggested I wanted to reach thru the phone and knock her teach out of her mouth. Suffice to say I am not able to get DM to work on my machine and there appears to be no apparent reason why the software will stop working. Not have DM work means I cannot synch my phone. I have one personal computer and I am not going to install DM on my laptop because it will do me no good since I need to synch it with Outlook which is on my personal desktop. I cannot install my personal copy of office on my work laptop because it will probably cause other issues.
    Anyone have any suggestions how I can get this application working on my desktop. It was working before and all of a sudden it stopped  working

  • Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1.0.35 fails to launch with "BlackBerry Desktop Software has stopped working"

    OS: Windows 7 32bit
    BB Desktop Manager version: 6.1.0.35
    I bought a new notebook a few days ago and tried to install the above software (latest version) from Blackberry's website. The whole thing installed fine but when I tried to launch it after installation, I get the message:
    "BlackBerry Desktop Software has stopped working"
    I tried the clean uninstall with removal of folders and registry entries, rebooting it, running regsvr32 atl.dll and then reinstalling it and still I have the same problem.
    I had experienced a similar issue with my previous computer which I fixed by changing the permission and ownership of two registry keys "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion" and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion". But this time round, I found that:
    1) There is no "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion"
    2) I can't find a  "Desktop.log" in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop" but I did find it in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\Logs"

    I have scanned through it and I can't find anything that says "fatal".
    Any suggestions? I am at my wits end after combing through this forum and other BB forums for the past few long days and nights.
    HELP!

    Well folks. I've had enough.
    The 9780 is a great phone, it's easy to use, practical and dependable. However, the Desktop Manager software has been giving me too many sleepless nights. On two occassions I must add: once at the end of last year when I bought it and only managed to solve it by myself after 4 weeks of trawling through online forums, blogs and other BB help sites and the recent one was last week when I tried to install it on my new Windows 7 notebook.
    I know this is not entirely the fault of RIM, Microsoft also has a part to play. But considering the state of technology these days, it shouldn't have to be so difficult. I want a phone and software that makes my life easier and not have to be a slave to it by trying days and nights to solve its problems.
    Hence, I have officially decom my phone and gotten an iPhone 4 instead. The switch ain't that difficult for me as I have always been platform neutral. As long it fits my needs, does it job well and doesn't give me too much headache, I'm cool with it.
    Ciao folks!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software - Stops working at the end of synchronization

    During synchronization, the same handful of calendar conflicts come up.  After clearing them, and at the very end of synchronization, I get a pop up that "Desktop Software stopped working"...info fades out and the only option is to hit a CLOSE button which shuts down the software. 
    I no longer receive the synchronization report and although most data does sync, I am trying to determine the cause of this.
    This is the only forum I can find.  I do not see a Blackberry support anywhere...

    Hello,
    What is the version of the BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    Have you tried to uninstall the Desktop Software and download and re-install the newest version of BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    BlackBerry Desktop Software:
    http://ca.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/

    I have edited the post, the previous post indicated "Device" Software which was a typo for "Desktop" Software.

  • Can't get Desktop Software to link up with Curve 8330

    All the following is from running Win XP in VirtualBox.
    When I hook up my Curve 8330 to the computer via USB the computer recognizes it: I'm asked to enter the Cuve's password, the Blackberry Device Manager pops up in the task bar to tell me that the Curve is connected and I can even browse the device via Explorer, but when I open the Blackberry Desktop Software (6.1.0.35) it just endlessly says it's "Connecting" without ever actually connecting.  Also, when I hook it up, the Curve's screen very briefly goes to the white "Connected to Desktop" splash before returning to normal. Mass storage mode is turned on. 
    Please, if you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated; I've had some close calls recently and need to backup my numbers and data. I can't find any posts with people having similar problems.
    Curve 8330
    Boost Mobile
    v5.0.0.438

    Hello Atimkelly,
    First check your default services on the device under Options, Device, Advanced System Settings, default services.
    If the default services are configured correctly I would suggest try creating a new MAPI profile as outlined in this article http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02083 and then reconfigure the Desktop Software as shown here http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17022
    Cheers.

  • Curve 8900 not connecting to Desktop Software version 6.0.0.40

    I am not able to connect my Curve 8900 to the BlackBerry Desktop Software Version 6.0.0.40.  When I connect via USB it asks for the password  and then it says connecting in the bottom right corner - it never connects.  I also have the Blackberry Device Manager version 6.0.0.11 running at startup but it does say that the device is connected.  There are no errors in the device manager.  I am running Windows XP SP3.

    No one else replied, but I seem to have solved the problem, more or less, so I thought I'd report back.  See previous message for the setup.
    1) First attack - make a concerted effort to truly undelete the 2 old versions of Desktop Manager.  The typical list of "how to cleanly uninstall" (link above) is incomplete.  This document is much better: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206 . 
    The part that matters is near the bottom, under Additional Information.  Basically, take a shovel to the Registry and start digging out absolutely every reference to "Research In Motion" using the Edit/Find.  I added to that recommendation a search on "BlackBerry" and even, for good measure, all the Roxio software (and removed the Roxio folders just like the Research In Motion folders).  I can't say which part did the trick, but I could see some of the Install and Uninstall list items go by.
    This finally killed the zombie entries in the Add/Remove Programs list, and prevented the Windows Installer attempts on unfindable .msi files.
    2) Problems: In killing Roxio, I may have accidentally munged a Sonic registry entry.  When I installed the Desktop Manager fresh from the CD, it complained about a registry-style confusion with Sonic software.  It allowed me to continue past that point anyway.
    I can't fix that, but I will be swapping in new PCs in a couple of months and can live with whatever reduced functionality might be involved.
    When I started the Desktop Manager for the first time, I could see Windows Installer popups fly by in the background, but none of them stayed open, and perhaps that will be a one-time problem.  Otherwise, if related to the Sonic issue, at least it's not a functional problem that prevents me from using the Desktop Manager.
    3) I can now connect to the Desktop Manager via USB, but am unable to successfully update the device software.  It goes through the backup process apparently successfully, but issues an error message about "Fatal error" before installing much (any?) of the new software.  Seems to be a benigh error - phone still works.  Because this will be reinstalled on a clean PC in a couple of months, I can pass on upgrading the device software until then.
    4) All I care about is the ability to synch the contact and calendar data and, by god, that seems to be working!!!  And it's much faster than my older BB.
    If you're reading this, it's because you have an ongoing nightmare...  You have my sympathy. 

  • Desktop software version 6.0 won't sync with Curve 8310

    I adore my Blackberry Curve 8310, but the desktop software has been a nightmare.  I have tried to download new versions, but the only one that will sync with my device is the one that came on a disk with the phone, version 4.2.2, which I have in my desktop computer.  I have a new laptop with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010 installed.  I downloaded the Desktop Software 6.0 from the Blackberry website, and when I try to configure the settings for syncing with Outlook, it gives me the message "The operation terminated unsuccessfully."  I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and updated my device software, but nothing works.  HELP! 

    Hi staceyw,
    Is your Outlook 32 bit or 64 bit? Currently only 32 bit is supported with BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0.
    I would recommend a clean uninstall then reinstall of the Desktop software following this KB article. http://bbry.lv/bvwP5D
    Thanks,

  • Blackberry Desktop Software Error "Blackberry Desktop Software Has Stopped Working"

    Hi everyone,
    I’ve had a Blackberry Playbook (PB) for almost a year now. Recently I decided I was going to back my data up, but the Blackberry desktop software I was using was 5.0... Something. So I went to http://uk.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html to update the software. I uninstalled the old one and installed the new one.
    When I tried to open the newly installed software I got this error "Blackberry Desktop Software Has Stopped Working." So I did my research and found that this was happening to other people.
    These are the methods I used to try to fix the problem.
    - Clean Uninstall
    - Removing registry
    - Deleting research in motion (appdata)
    - Restarting my computer about 5 times
    I went into event properties this is what i got.
