I have downloaded a couple of things including SPB pocket plus version 3.0 and Billiardmaster 1.21 onto my desktop - they are both in zip winrar files - -what do I do next -please.
Idiot's guide ( novice)
You need to unzip the files first using winrar, winzip or winace. You will also need activesync installed on your pc. Plug your phone into usb cradle/cable, this will launch activesync, run the exe file from unzipped folder on your pc, this will install the program to your phone.
By the way, Billiards master is a brilliant game.
My xda now says that the game was intended for a previous version of Windows Mobile but it still seems to play well !
Can you suggest any other games?
I fancy a snooker game OR pool where you have just 2 set of colours ( red and green I think).
There is a colin McRae game Vrsion 4 and 5 but it is £5 ( which is ok) but I don't know if it will work on my pay as you go sim.
Anybody there ?

Absurd that everything in my calender and email syncs up - but after owning this phone now for over a month I still have not managed to figure out how to move other data or install programs.
It must be really easy. I just don't have a manual for the phone. Is there a site with the user manual?
Sorry for this stupid question...
try doing a google search for xda manual pdf i'm sure it's out there in plenty
you install programs if they are pc install programs but running the exe file on the pc then it will install using activesync
you install programs in form of cab files by double clicking on them on your device
you run exe files made for pda's by clicking on the pda they dont need installs
you get data to the pda by
1 putting the files in my pocketpc documents or what ever it's called in your my doc dir
2 clicking on the explore device button in activesync or clicking on the pda icon in my computer
thank you for that explanation. it worked! I did find the user manual as a pdf file. It was helpfull - but this forum seems ahead of the curve.
One last question - have most people on this forum with the XDA II upgraded to the magneto OS?
i havent
it being beta i'm waiting to see how stable and compatible it wil be when buzz and people are don with it
sure it's a toy but it's also a tool and my current rom does work for my current needs
my comp won't let me download real pocket player. any other apps that will work?
anyone else having a problem installing realone player for PPC? i've tried both the regular and beta version, and on 2 computers both giving the same error that I need to install ActiveSync 3.1 or later. I have ActiveSync 4.1 on both of my PCs and I keep getting the error. my Activesync is working fine. I copied the executable file to my 8125 but it can't run/installed like that. any ideas?
thx
bump
which file did you try and install? i got the same error you did with the activesync when i tried this file... "RealPlayer for Pocket PC 1.1 Preview Release"
its beta im guessing and its a bug. but i installe dthe current stable one.... "RealPlayer for Pocket PC 1.0" and worked fine. i got the links here.....

Guys, if you don't want to install additional software, you can add your PPC as a device to RealPlayer and sync Real files to play on WM10.
When I try to install it Im getting a message...
Realoneplayerppc is not a valid pocket pc applicatiopn

'cause you're supposed to run that file on your desktop not the phone.
I installed Real player through AS 4.1 with no problems. Great for bbc radio broadcasts.
I got it installed and it wont play the file! Ah well. Do I need to convert it somehow?
On the BBC radio site where is has a link that says listen using stand alone real player, right click and copy that link to your wizard. Clicking on that file should open real player and begin to play your broadcast.
Will it not play videos though? I want it to play my south park vids
RealPlayer Link
Here is the link to download the CAB file so you can install Realplayer on your WM5 device without activesync.
http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=7160593
Copy the file to your Pocket PC and click on it to install.
CAB files within the exe file
If you start to use the realplayer executable file while connected through Activesync but do not complete the install process ie while the install screen is still open go to
START/RUN and type %TMP%
This will open the install directory. Look for a sub dir call ~rmsetup. Within that sub directory you will find the REALPLAYER.CAB file you need. Just copy into your temp directory on wizard and run as usual. It works for both the basic Realplayer and Realplayer with video beta downloadable from their site.
Hope I've explained it clearly enough.
There is also an explanation of how to make the exe file work with activesysnc on the Realplayer forum but I found the above solutions easier.

Ive got it installed but cant play my South Park rm files? Will it only play upto a certain version or something? Any patches available?
Dear Reader,
I have downloaded a PDF software from the followin site for my XDA IIi,
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readerforppc.html
but it says 'AdbeRdr20_ppc_enu' is not a valid Pocket PC application. Kindly help me out. I need this software in my PC.
Thanks & Regards,
That's the installer .exe - you have to ActiveSync your PPC and run the .exe on your desktop PC.
Need your help
Now let me know what do i have to do if I need PDF software in Mobile?
Thanks & Regards,
Well, maybe I was too short in my first answer (or am _I_ getting *you* wrong?) ... anyway:
the thing that you downloaded from Adobe in fact _is_ the reader software for PocetPCs - _but_ it's not an exe, you simply copy onto your device (or maybe you downloaded it directly onto the PPC?), and it would run there.
Shure, it's an .exe file - but not for PPC. It's one for Windows, to be run on your desktop computer - as an installer for the PPC.
So, if you don't have it already on your workstation, move it there;
connect your XDA with ActiveSync to your desktop machine;
start the downloaded .exe on your desktop;
let the upcoming install shield lead you through some dialogs;
then that program will do the installation of Acrobat Reader 2.0 for PPC onto your XDA;
if the XDA asks you something, answer accordingly;
done.
It also installs some converter into ActiveSync, that tries to optimize transferred .pdf files for display on mobile devices (well, I switched it off ...).
But beware: as good as the Reader for PPC is (at least imho), it needs a lot of space (some 8MB).
Let me know, if I understood you completely wrong.
Greetings.
Thank You it's working now
Hi Dear,
Thank you very much it's working now in my mobile.
Thanks & Regards,
I downloaded a lot of windows pocketpc applications for my Xperia and none of the worked... The following message comes up: "Is not a valid pocketpc application"
I had a lot of 2003, windows 5, and 6 applications, and games and they cant install or open!
How can I fix this?
RE:
Did you just copy the applications straight to your Xpreia then run the files? If so, you need to run most pocket apps on a PC first, then when you connect your Xperia to a PC then a window will pop up showing you the applications that need to be installed onto your Xperia. This is all Automatic, as long as you have installed the Phone onto your PC.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, that's the only real stupid crap on WM.
I could install any app on Symbian right on phone.
Why the hell they don't make all .CAB's??
I understand with big files, but with 100kB thing is plain stupid,
the whole idea of mobility dies with this.
P.S. I also have some apps like that, so what do I do?
Install it first on PC? And than what, uninstall it after installing on phone??
If you have it "install" on your pc only, it always leaves a .cab file somewhere to be downloaded to your phone later. That's how I extracted the CAB files from the executables I have anyway.
99% of apps can be obtained as cab. Only few I had to install manually (ie there was no CAB or PC EXE installer).
Most are avaialble also aso PC exe, but if someone bothers with EXE installer, he usually has CAB too (in fact he has to, since the PC installation shows some funky windows and then it simply copies the CAB to WM device).
Which is also where you can get the CAB. Unpack the EXE installer (very often possible, Total Commander can do that for example), locate the CAB inside it, and install the CAB manually.

So you had plain luck,
50% of the apps which I want are these f**n .exe. Without any .CAB inside.
But I still didn't get how is the standard operation from PC.
What do I do first? Install the .exe on my computer and than connect phone? And what than?
sync your mobile with activeSync, install the application through pc, activeSync will start the installation on your mobile
Connect the phone to the PC via ActiveSync.
Run the exe on the PC. It installs on PC and copies the cab installer to the phone via ActiveSync. The phone should start the installation automatically.
I still wonder .. what applications are those ?

Great, thanks guys for replies.
I assume while installing I can choose the place of installation (phone/card....)
P.S. Can the .cab installer stay on device, for quick reinstall after upgrade?
Or you have to connect to PC again?
I have dowloaded the Pocket RAR but can't find one that isn't for a PPC. I'm willing to pay for a full version or better yet a freeware
Might be worth checking out.

Hi,
Mmmmh, I am no genius, but a 1 min search gave me that :

Free software, for winmo, from the developpers of WinRar.
Thanks for your replies. No, those don't work on the Dash. I downloaded almost everything I found from those pages and its all for pocket pc. I get a "Not a valid windows ce application"
from all of the apps I've found off google
