I was experiencing the HTC sense launcher error on my Incredible 2, and did not want to have to factory reset. Fortunately I found a way around it. None of my screen icons would function, as well as none of the soft touch buttons on the phone. However, I found that I could drag down the icon status bar at the top of the screen. From there I could access the settings menu, and then the running services menu. I just closed and uninstalled the process (clock widget) that was causinig the problem.
I hope this helps
