The Exchange server is being upgraded to 2007 tomorrow, and we were only at SP4.

Everything looked fine until the final restart of services -- now the MDS service fails to start. Same error as outlined here: Could not start the BlackBerry Mobile Data Service on Local Computer. Error 203 The system could not find the environment option that was entered

However, none of the suggested fixes in that KB article are working. Java appears to be installed correctly (version 6 release 15), and the path in the registry key looks good.

The application error in the event log isn't helping either:

If you have come to blackberryforums.com looking for help with your blackberry, here are some tips to help you get your answer and make it easier on those who want to help you:

• If your blackberry has just started acting weird for no apparent reason, do a hard reset. Remove the battery for 30 seconds or so. This will usually correct most odd blackberry behavior that you encounter.
• If the hard reset doesn't work, make a mental list of what you have done recently. If you are getting an error message, pay attention, read it, remember it, write it down if you have to.
• Search. Search the internet using your favorite search engine. Also try another search engine. Search the forum using the search function at the top of the page. Check BlackBerry FAQ - BlackBerryFAQ. Look at the threads that are stickied at the tops of the subforums. Search on the exact error message text, if you are getting an error message. Use the information in your mental list of what you've been doing to help focus your search. The odds are infitesimal that you are the first with your problem or question.
• If you've done the above and still haven't fixed your problem you are ready to compose your question. And I mean compose. State your problem clearly, completely, and as briefly as you can, in a way that people can read and understand, to the best of your ability. A long post with slang abbreviations and no sentence structure may get you some response, but it makes it damn hard for the people who want to understand you and help. I'm writing this to those of you for whom English is your first and only language. If you want help, do your best to make yourself understood.
• Include all relevant information. If in doubt, include it. Cite the things you've done outside of regular everyday use, things you've noticed, and what you have already tried to do to fix the problem. Again, if you have installed a third-party theme, some new application, your moisture indicator is pink, you bought a knock-off battery for $2.99, you installed a leaked beta operating system, whatever, do not wait to mention it. Don't wait until post #8 in your thread to mention something important.
• Post once. Post in the appropriate subforum. Use a descriptive title. Maybe you are not sure where your post belongs, and that's ok. But do stop and think where your post is more likely to be seen by the people who will know how to answer. There's a reason for multiple subforums. And don't post on the same issue multiple times. Post once and give it some time. A discriptive title will draw the eyes of someone who knows your issue. Trust me, there are people competing to correctly answer your question before anyone else.
• Finally, post an update. If you solve your problem, post the fix, even if it is only to say, "Thanks, I removed the memory card and all is good now." If you try some things that don't work, post that information too. Don't leave people hanging. Give the people who later come across your thread the benefit of your experience, whether you found the fix or have identified things that seem promising but don't work.

One final note. Don't PM forum members for blackberry help. There's no guarantee they'll answer, no guarantee that they are knowledgeable about your particular problem, and even if they do answer, others are deprived of the information. The forum is here for everyone to learn.

And enjoy the forum. This is a fun place. Hang around and you'll learn things. ]]> Rants and Raves Forum aiharkness http://www.blackberryforums.com/rants-raves-forum/211353-you-here-looking-help.html http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8300-series-discussion-curve/211350-locked-password.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:33:17 GMT Sorry i typed my question in the wrong box, but i found the right one now so here goes... i got a blackberry curve yesterday and my brother was...

Everything is pretty good. Not really laggy as some say so, overall I'm pretty satisfied but I have a few minor problems.

1. When I try to compose a text. I hit the letter for the persons name options then compose text, it goes to my email messages, and then when I go back to my sms messages, the new chat box isn't even there with that persons name?

So i have to go to sms messages, compose new, then have to find the name, and it just takes a lot longer time.

Any shortcuts for this?

And 2. This really isn't a problem but, like on the Tour, there is the normal Blackberry browser, but in runs in html like Bolt. Is there anyway I can get this for my 8330?
Since it runs html the page is a lot better, and the Blackberry browser is the only one I am able to watch videos on.

Notes
This is a gently used BlackBerry Bold 9000 originally on AT&T's network. The phone is now UNLOCKED and can be used on any network that uses GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (for example Rogers Wireless in Canada). Each sale (I have two similar packages for sale) includes the BlackBerry Bold 9000, the original charger, the original case, the original (unused) USB cable, the original (unused) headphones, and the original box and manuals. This sale also includes a Seidio holster, a 4GB SanDisk microSD memory card, and the BlackBerry 9000 desktop charging stand. I am selling these items because I am a technology junkie, so I am going to get another BlackBerry device to use for a while, and I am going to get my girlfriend another one as well. Everything about this phone works perfectly, and it has been updated to the latest OS available at the time this sale was posted. There is no damage to the screen or the body of the phone, with the exception of scuffs on the chrome bezel around the edge of the phone. They are small, but I have replacement OEM bezels on the way which are scheduled to arrive this Monday, and the bezel will be replaced before the item ships. If the buyer prefers, however, I can simply send the replacement bezel along with the phone so that the new owner can install the bezel when the package arrives.

I have these items listed on eBay as well under the same username as I use here (ifonline). You can also check out my eBay feedback as reference if you wish, but for simplicity, my feedback is 100% for 139 ratings with 4.8 and 4.9 out of 5.0 for detailed ratings.

Thank you for looking.
