Notification Error

Ok, here's the deal. My brother (not a member of Aximsite) has an Axim with MM2003 on it. I have been trying to help him figure out this problem, and I can't figure out what is happening. Evertime he turns on the Axim, he get the following. Notification Error: Cannot execute /Program Files/Keyboard/Keyboard.exe. We were trying to get my Pocketop to work on his MM2003, and tried out all the different IR keyboard drivers on it. I have removed all of them through the Remove Programs, and checked through Activesync to be sure it was fully removed. Using File Explorer, I made sure that there was no Keyboard.exe anywhere, including Program Files. Any ideas?

I used to get a similar message on my Ax (w/2K2) after I uninstalled Pocket Matix. I never could figure out what else I was supposed to delete to keep my Ax from looking for that program. I ended up doing a hard reset.

You might want to try downloading a registry error and seeing what files are set to run at startup (and check the "\Windows\Start Menu\Startup" folder). My bet is that you're getting that message because it is trying to run keyboard.exe, but the file was removed when you uninstalled a certain piece of software.

Thanks guys. I know a hard reset would probably work, but that is the last resort for me. Doing good so far as Mods!

1. download and install freeware application PHC Power Toys

2. run the scheduled tasks applet

3. delete the offending entry

Bam! Worked for me. YMMV

Thanks. We figured out a solution. Oddly enough, we made a backup, did a hard reset, then restored from the backup, and the error stopped coming up. It seems like whatever was causing the error would have been backed up to, but it wasn't.
