[HELP] Spinning Wheel of Death after uninstalling HWPEN!

Hi I uninstalled the HWPEN application as it seems utterly useless to me and now my iphone keeps restarting and restarting and restarting and does not stop at all. I really need to get my phone to work without having to restore it again because I haven't even backed up my files / pics / phonebook yet. I'm on Windows right now and if anyone has a solution to this, please help me out here. I am desperate for help at this moment

try the hard reset that worked for me when I uninstalled that app.
hold the home button and power button until the apple sign pops up
if that doesn't work it is probably your springboard.plist. I'll hook u up with one when I get back from school right now

Yea im sure the springboard.plist would work but how can you turn on your wifi...??

I'm in a similar situation - I haven't actually uninstalled HWPen yet but i intend to and i'm bracing for the worst.
