I'm posting a strange problem along with a solution I've found, just in case someone has encountered the same thing.
I'm running WM6.1 on my HP iPAQ hx4700 and use it mainly for dictionaries. Yesterday I did a general system backup using Spb Backup. After it completed copying data it soft-resetted my device and, somehow, deleted all the data on my device. I thought I should just use my backup to restore everything, but the backup was somehow corrupted and I bricked the device. I had to reflash the rom and do the restore again. Everything seemed fine, until I tried to run Pleco. It didn't (for reasons unknown) start, in fact, it did nothing. I copied the .cab installers (I hate ActiveSync) onto the SD card, to a folder named "Pleco". I reinstalled the dictionary, but the symptoms persisted. I tried everything I could think of (manually deleting files, removing Pleco residue from the registry, reinstalling one thing at a time), except doing a clean reset and manually restoring every program I had previously had installed. In the process, I did not notice the folder name on the SD card changed from "Pleco" to "PLECO" (who pays attention to capitals, right?). Finally, out of desperation I pulled out the SD and run the dictionary. It worked. Turns out you can't install the dictionary in the onboard memory and still have a folder named "PLECO" on the SD. It confuses the hell out of PlecoDict
Hope this will help someone. I know it would have saved me a lot of time and stress if I knew what the problem is right away. I'm addicted to PlecoDict, as I'm a 5th year sinology student, and I'm really looking forward to the 2.0! Keep up the good work (and I will keep paying you money )!
