ok,

App manager not functioning, repositorys are gone and says i have no apps installed and gives operation failed message when i try to move around.

In the More... menu some Apps don't work anymore and some icons are missing but there is a blank space where they should be.

Conky no longer works.

When i try to do a back-up restore it failes because there is not enough space.

Main menu transitions sometimes mess up.

In settings, memory, 572.9 MB is available for applications.

I have noticed that when browsing through the system directorys using cuteexplorer every app i ever installed is still there in /home/opt/ and can be run, even when i uninstalled some of these apps using the app manger.

Restarting the n900 does not fix the problem.

Advice please, thanks...

Did you do anything (like install something, or maybe play with system commands that you dont have knowledge of) after which all this started happening or you just restarted the device one day and found this behavior?
Consider reflashing the device?

I did install some apps the previous evening but did not notice any problems until later today, i was using my phone a lot this morning and everything was ok.

How can i reflash and completely remove everything using windows 7.

Thanks

lol Ashley, everything is ok... the good thing about the N900 is that if everything fails... flashing the device is your best friend..

here's how you flash the firmware: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware
