Hi,
please detail about the installation process: did you install it on the device or on the sdcard? what files are present in
start->Program Files\Teksoft\Smartbar?

we would advice you to try closing the power plugin, and also to try to run smartbar from programs.tell us what effect do these actions have?

I never install plugins on a SD card, always in main This error was AFTER it was installed with the installer from the PC ont5o the device.
The app wasn't started yet!

thanks for the details.
do you receive the same message if you start smart.exe from total commander?

As I wrote. I haven't start anything, yet! The error occurred after installing! At the moment I soft reset the device and I get the below as suspected.

Starting from TCP gives the same error.

Hi krab,

Thanks for your feedback.

The error is caused by a missing .dll or by a .dll that is too old.

We suggest you install a newer firmware (RUU) on your device.

by **krab** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 10:37 pm

I have the latest firmware ( version 1.01.11B (8 Mar 05) on my device.

Al the other software I have installed, and that's a lot work fine.

Hi Teksoft,
Can you please give a brief description of what Smartbar in fact is? I guess it's a today plugin, like iLauncher, SPB Pocket Plus etc, but is it so? If so, I guess I could give it a try on my Hima, upgraded with WM5, and give you some feedback later :roll:

Cheers

Here is a first review from Menneisyys on PocketPC Magazine:

to make a better idea of the features.

Cheers,

Oluck,

a complete description would be:

As you might know the term of "Window" comes together with the Windows operating system (not only), pointing to some informational structures that allow a user to access and modify his data, int the same way he would interfeer with a bidimensional table containing various elements.

Your Today Screen is a window. It is, if you want, the equivalent of the Desktop on the Windows XP, 9X... . The Today Screen is a big window that contains other small windows (the plugins).

Smartbar is not a plugin, but a separate window, that would push the original Today Screen to make some space for itself. Actually the Smartbar and the Today Screen have the same parent window.

Still, a component of Smartbar, The PowerPlugin is indeed a Today Screen Plugin, as it resides in the Today Screen and has the approapiate internal structure.

I hope this explains everything :lol:

One must be able to "absorb" critisisme too. That's something which can be learned too:D
I am sorry guys. I like to buy but therefor the product has to work.

krab I can't follow. You quoted my answer towards Menneisyys 's review.
And I just said that the review seemed objective (as in showing both good and bad parts of the reviewed app.), because there were non-sense talks like why does the setup download take I don't know how much time or why is the register mechanism built the way it is etc... (which I would call subjective, as in : each has his own experience with things arround him :roll:

)

For your questions we don;t have an answer yet but we'll post here when we do.
Sorry for any missunderstanding.
