However, that will, of course, destroy all your data. The backup utility is supposed to save and restore GPE data but that feature was broken in some versions of GPE (it is working again in the latest version). So, I do not recommend re-flashing. If you have not used the command line before I suggest your best option is to use the Application Installer. See http://maemo.org/community/wiki/applicationmanagerredpillmode/ for instructions on how to enable red pill mode. Once you have red pill mode enabled, click on the button to show all installed applications -- quite a long list. Go through the packages I mentioned below (gpe-calendar, gpe-contacts, etc.), click on each one and select "uninstall". I may not have the right order, in which case you may not be able to uninstall some of them until you have uninstalled some later ones. It is also possible that some of these packages are used by other applications as well: when you get the "Unable to uninstall" dialog box, click on "details" to see which other packages depend on the one you are trying to uninstall. Once you have them all uninstalled, you should be able to install GPE. You can disable red pill mode (select blue pill mode) once the uninstallation is complete. > In eIther case how do you get to the command line? See http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howto_easily_becomeroot/. However, be aware that it is possible, using the command line, to damage your software configuration so that your tablet won't boot and will need to be re-flashed (destroying all your data).
