If you cant get DM to start,

Go to your c drive, common files, research in motion, app loader, and click the loader icon, the one that looks like a lil cell phone thing, and it should force the start.

Also, make sure you downloaded the right OS for your device. If you downloaded the 8330 OS it won't load no matter what you do.

[rachel0179]

[bigbluecatfan]

In your PC c drive, programs, you see two BB things, one is a desktop and one device?

[bigbluecatfan]

i go to program files common files rim and im lost from there

[rachel0179]

no no, on your PC, that the actual file is installed.. c drive, programs etc, where you see what all is installed on your computer.

[bigbluecatfan]

no idea i am lost rachel. maybe i need to start over. i dl'd the update and im pretty sure i installed it right but i cant find it anywhere. is this update good enough and worth it to mess with all of this

Easier to look in Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs. See if you have multiple copies of Blackberry Device Software installed on your PC. If you do, uninstall the older OS and leave just the one you are trying to install.
