I was having the same issue as everyone else with getting that error message, and then I did as jakeisgreat, I reopened my desktop manager and there it was! In the list to be installed...
If you just disable the ColorPearl program then you should get only the white LED. If the program is uninstalled then the light should work as it did before installing the program.

When I did disable it I would get no backlight at all, I tried to uninstall and same thing no back light.
I plugged it in and tried to do a restore but still no backlight without the colorpearl app installed.
My question is, why would they have this feature disabled altogether in the first place? Also, I don't know if it's mentioned in this thread, but if you have the Ringtone/Trackball LED enabled, it turns the LED's back off when it's done ringing. Then you have to disable and re-enable the ColorPearl.

so there is no way of changing the track ball colors on the 8120? i think I saw it mention on another forum somewhere but that was before I had my 8120.
has anyone thought this could be a virus? i put on the soft reset and color change tracball programs with no problems but the auto lock kept trying to access my phone log. luckily my phone alerted me! is this a case of bad programming or malicious software? anyone else have problems?
No....it's not a virus or malicious software. It needs access to the phone app (phone logs) in order to not lock the device when you're on the phone. It has to be able to talk to the phone app to know when you're on the phone. It's a trustworthy app.
ok so how do i know which version my pearl is and how to i get the trackball to change color? Can i please have a step by step instruction..email me at
