 Win CE6 error message - VxFan
I was wondering if any of you computer bods could help with this one?

My aftermarket stereo in the car uses the Win CE6 operating system, which among other things has Bluetooth, media player, and Sat Nav.
It's a similar system to this one. youtu.be/ElNlehukmfk (this is the later model)

When it tries to boot up I get the following message on the touch screen.

"application start.exe encountered a serious error and must shut down"

The touch screen still works, as I can see the "ok" and "x" boxes in the corner of the message respond, but the message doesn't go away.

I've tried a factory reboot via the pin hole in the corner of the cowling. I've tried disconnecting the car battery for half an hour, and also holding my finger on the "ok" and "x" before powering up the unit.

Not much info via a Google search.

The reversing camera still works, but that's about it. The car stereo still works as it's the factory fit one and uses the aftermarket unit's screen to mirror what was on the original factory fit screen, which is now hidden behind the dash somewhere. Trouble is, I no longer have any info displayed on the aftermarket screen, other than this error message. I've lost the time/date, radio stations, CD tracks, and climate control indicated settings from the controls elsewhere on the dash.

Not sure what to do, other than remove it and reinstate the original display for now, and then think about buying an android unit instead, which will have loads more features on it.
