Repair IE after Opera Mobile 9 beta uninstall? - Mogul, XV6800 General

I had a version of Opera Mobile 9 beta installed and found it to be pretty bad so I uninstalled it and it made it so that clicking on URLs in SMSs and emails don't work. I then tried a registry repair with SKTools and blindly accepted what it wanted to do (which was a bad idea, I know). So now I have some missing registry entries (including the one for the default browser).
Is there any way to repair my phone without clearing the memory and reinstalling everything? It's been awhile since I did a backup so that wouldn't really work...
I'm running DCD's WM6.1 ROM. Maybe if someone could send me a .reg file with the IE-related registry settings it would repair it?
Thanks.

Oh nevermind. I just noticed DCD 3.0.4 is out anyway so I'll just reflash.

for anyone who wants to know how to fix this...install opera mobile 8.5 make it default, then uncheck default and uninstall opera and it will go back to pie as default

Good to know. Thanks!

... but what can one do if they have opera 8.65 installed and the eval period has expired? opera will no longer start so you can't undo the setting and uninstalling doesn't seem do clean up opera's settings and default back to ie.

Hi, I have installed Opera 9.5 and cant see any options in the Remove Program to uninstall it. Any idea how to proceed with the uninstall?
Many Thanks
Ayan

To remove opera 9.5 file associations and icon problems run this cab.
****This does not remove Opera 9.33/5. It only restores the file associations/icons****

Maybe its running in the background when you uninstall it/ or if you have it there (installed) in the storage card it creates problems getting uninstalled.
Try to close the program fully By shutting it down from the Task manager..With the task manager open
Go to MENU>VIEW>CHANGE MODE
See if any instance of World mate is running there.
If you have partially uninstalled it, try reinstalling it and perform a reset.
Try to uninstall it by going to Add Remove Progs. in the phone.
If the problem persists, try removing it thru the Add remove progs. in the active sync.
All the best.
You are right jeasbe. I have installed my Worldmate to my storage card. I'm currently not using any task manager program. What would you recommend? Is memmaid one of these? I also tried uninstalling after the soft reset thing just to clean that worldmate was'nt running but to no avail of success in deleting it. Also looked at the running programs before deletion just to make sure it is not running. I even accidentally deleted the list from the rmove programs, and the program was still there. Is there any way to manually delete these files thru registry?

Literally Speaking the best method still would be to DELETE the folder from your \storage\Program Files\world mate (or whatever)
Then perform a fresh Install, this time in the Phone memory.
Then go for a soft reset.
Do not open World mate.
The world mate shall be there in the ADD REMOVE prog list By now.
Go to add-remove progs and perform a Remove.
Hopefully this shall delete the traces of world mate from your Phone.
U can manually delete the folder safely from ProgramFiles\world mate (from the phone memory this time)
Before U try anything stupid I suggest..Please do take a backup...
I take risks with my Data coz I have it spread over my other O2Xda as well as On My outlook....
All the Best
If I have to unistall some program I use the MemMaid. These program really erase what you want.
Thanks

Can't Preview in Gmail

FIXED!!! SEE END OF POST.
Using the latest RC30 mod from JesusFreke, everything works swell (cache to sd card, autorotate, multitouch, etc).
However I can't preview anything but .txt files in gmail! If I try to preview a .doc or .pdf file it crashes (Gmail has stopped unexpectedly) every time.
Not sure what is causing it, I believe it should be calling HTML Viewer and then maybe doesn't find it? I can view things with HTML Viewer though (txt files through ASTRO, etc).
I recently installed Linda File Manager as it adds a plugin to the Browser that enables the downloading of any content, however I've removed this app (and ASTRO) but haven't seen any results. I also reset the "defaults" on pretty much all involved apps.... At the moment I can't view pdfs through gmail and I really need to for work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
hey did you find a fix for this?? im experiencing the same exact thing....
concerning pdfs I had the same experience...
I noticed that my test license of jetcet pdf had expired. I uninstalled, reinstalled...
and it works again.
I am on JF 1.4.1 RC8
I fixed the problem by loading a nandroid backup from the previous day. then i opened gmail and when it asked me what default viewer i would like to use I chose HTML viewer
although it gave me the option of setting ASTRO instead. what i dont get is, why didn't the problem go away after i reset all programs to default and uninstalled ASTRO? mmaybe i should have restarted or something.
im on a stock rc 30 so im guessing id have to get root with one of JFs modded roms before i can do that nandroid? the jetcet program solved the pdf issue but im still force closing when trying to preview docs....html viewer opens independently but not through gmail...really annoying!
i would suggest clearing your defaults for gmail.... also root gives you nandroid yes but yu also need the sdk to flaah the backups. use mybackup as well!
no defaults are set....i guess i have to root to get it to work...
My problem came back! I uninstalled ASTRO, rebooted, and it is still here. No defaults to clear.
Using JF's version of RC33 now.
Also: you don't need root to reset defaults, but if you know how to do it via CLI, tell me! I can't fix it and I am afraid that if I go back to my old backup, update to RC33, it will come back!
getting really frustrated with this...im on a stock rc33 now and i still cant preview docs with html viewer through gmail....i have no idea what to do...i've reset the defaults and nothing?? does anyone have any other possible solutions?
thanks.
Still having the same problem.... I thought it was astro but it wasn't... what do we do?
Yeah, I don't even have Astro installed and it's having this problem. I have Linda File Manager and UnZip installed and that's about all I see that might be interfering...
Not only can I not view PDFs through Gmail, but I can't view any attachments at all.
I hope we find a fix for this...
Hey maybe it's Linda! I did have that installed a while back. I'm gonna do a nandroid backup and the reflash and see what happens.
Well I reflashed (finally got time) and the problem persists--- although I didn't install Linda. Astro is installed, but since you don't have it installed, it must be something else.
Very frustrating; it takes an hour to rebuild my phone (I could just re-flash the backup, but still) and I really want to see this problem resolved.
OKAY I FOUND WHAT CAUSES THE CRASH!!!!
It is an app called download crutch/download crutch lite.
It is a useful app, lets you download files from the browser that it might not recognize (ie zip files).
Anyways uninstall it, then delete the gmail storage/gmail settings from the app uninstaller--- then search for a .doc or .pdf file.
worked for me.
if you DO NOT have this app installed, then I have no idea. This worked for me on a clean install!!!
thanks

Youtube APP error

Since yesterday I am getting a warning "Storage is full" when I use youtube app on my HTC HD2. I tried clearing all the files in windows/youtube and I am still getting the error. Is there any another solution? Can I reinstall the APP?
I have the same problem :'(
For me, it seems that this issue simply comes from not having enough free storage RAM (I think you need around 5mb minimum).
Try deleting things off your device (eg/ Opera cache, old cabs... etc - ie, not just Youtube files).
go into the task manager and shut down all running apps, makes the world of difference
sorrybut I'm new to this .
How do I delete opera caches , and if i delete a cab file after i've installed it , will it affect it's function ?
In opera settings, and no, cab not needed after install.

it's worth keeping a folder of cabs on your sd card for use if you are forced to hard reset.
Alright thank you so much !

Having problems

Hey im having some problems my Hd2
Is there anyway of removing programs off the phone so that they dont
appear on remove program list. I have several programs that i just cant get off my phone.
And i dont want to factory reset.
programs that are there by default when you hard reset are built into the rom and cannot be removed.
i knoe im just refering to recent installs like cht editor and cookies home tab

Two things that work for me:
1) Use MemMaid...it has options in its cleaning cycle that can clear out junk that should have been uninstalled, it sometimes helps in these cases.
2) Run the cab to install the app (CHT or whatever) again...it will tell you it needs to uninstall the previous verison, then it will say it can't uninstall the previous version...just click ok and let it go through the full process again. It will look like it's installing, but if you soft-reset when it's done, you'll likely find that the app is gone, and it's not in your uninstall list anymore either. Don't ask me why this works, but I've used it succesfully many times.
EDIT: Also, for the future, make sure that when you're uninstalling (and even installing) apps like CHT that alter sense in some way, that you turn sense off beforehand.
