Qtopia Uninstall problem?
« on: June 05, 2003, 09:16:56 am »
Ok my saga goes on.  Have the Zaurus running ROM 3.10 now, but when I am trying to upgrade to version 3 PC software keeps telling me that I need to uninstall the Qtopia Desktop.  How do I get this done.  I have watched it go throught its uninstall porcess 3+ times now.  It\'s not showing up in the windows Add and Remove programs anymore.  I have hacked the registry for Qtopia, Sharp, and Zaurus.  I have rebooted no luck :cry: .

Ok, I had a problem with the upgrade as well. This fixed my issue:

Plug in your Z and make sure it is on
Go to the Device Manager and look under network adapters
Remove the SL  Series (NDIS 5) driver
Disconnect you Z and reboot
Try installing Qtopia again

This worked for me.  Let me know how it goes and good luck!

(I hope you didn\'t already reinstall your OS. I didn\'t see your first message last week. Sorry!)

I did that exactly three times and same thing over and over called sharp and they said a product specialist would call me back in 24 hours.  Still waiting for the called back from opening the ticket with them on June 5.  I did do a OS reinstall already and my problem is now resolved.  Thanks for taking time to reply maybe it will save someone else from the nightmare that I went through.

My father always tells me that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing multiple times and expecting different results...    

If anyone gets it to work, post a reply. Phantom Stranger? I know you were having the same problem a couple weeks ago....
