Happy New Year and a tip

General - January 5th, 2007 - Written by Peter Harbeson

Is everyone back from the holidays? Happy New Year from the Browsary!

Apropos of nothing, really, here’s a tip that might be helpful to some. There are a few cases in which you might try to start the browser and get a message that it can’t start because the phone thinks it’s already running even though it isn’t.

This was fixed a long time ago, but depending on your phone, the particular build of your browser, and possibly the phase of the moon, it might happen. If it happens to you, you’ll need a third-party application that lets you interact with the processes on the phone. Look for and kill one of these tasks: Browser.exe (0×10008D39) or BrowserNG.exe (0×1020724D).

If you have no idea what that previous paragraph is talking about, not to worry; this problem is pretty rare. Thanks to reader yajtoh for reminding me about it!

    I acutally ran into this problem some weeks ago. The only solution I could find was to do a hard reset. So, your tip is too late for me :-)
