Replacing Messenger sound

All,
is it possible to change the sound in Messenger when a contact goes online ? I have located the sound (Msgbox.wav) in the windows folder however its protected so I cant just replace it.
Any ideas ?
Cheers
Jakob
Just rename the file whichever u want to assign by this same name & then try to replace it with this file .
Ive tried to rename the file but its some kind of system file and protected for changes.
Use file explorer like total commander go to properties uncheck the readme only abd system tabs and then try again.
Tried changing the settings in total commander....but doesnt work :-(

How to install .XML files??

How to install the .xml files bundled in the cabs.rar?? I do not know how to make the extrom run automatically after the HR so i have to install each cab file 1 by 1, can anyone help??
Use the ones in cabs2. Also make sure you know what are those .xml for (they are replaced with .cab (s) in cabs2)
xml files are a typicaly a formatted text file like html
not really binary exe programs files
some programs use xml files to store settings and data
maybe they need to be in a location the program in question
will look for them

Did you mean copy the .xml files to the location of the program file ??
use HTCustom1.7.cab
yup...
I am having the same issue. I keep seeing these .xml files. I am not a computer guru lol. Do I cut and paste it somewhere on my phone or what? I am so lost please help.
Same thing here on my side mixtape_butcha. I'm subscibed in an Universal forum and have to install a USB switch which is a folder containing an xml file. I asked many time a guide on how to use it but nothing came back.
If you happen to know how to handle it, let me know. I'l do the same with you.

first of all it is nice that you looked up a matching post yourself and obviously searched for a solution there, but...
if i get your problem right, it doesn't match the ones before. they were talking about .xml files that came with a cab file and stored the settings on how to install and execute.
you, however, talk about a subscribtion to a thread, meaning your xml file is an RSS feed, for which you need a special reader, since PIE is not a proper desktop browser and therefore does not handle feeds. but there is a lot of software out there to handle rss feeds. i personally use spb online 1.2, but there is also freeware, like this: http://www.dewantoro.net/search/pda+rss+reader+cab
i don't get the point with the usb switch though, maybe if that didn't solve your problem you should post further details about that issue and maybe post filenames or screenshots so we all know exactly what you are about to do.
You need not worry to install xml file if it comes with a cab. Cab file should be designed to use it automatically. xml files store usually configurable settings, it may be worth opening those files using any text editor like note pad or even IE to check the contents, that may help if any change is needed. But 99% chances are that you need not do any thing with those xml files.
I have found some people run in to this problem when they download a .cab file from the internet and once downloaded it is a .rar so you extract the .rar to find NOT .cab but .xml
Here is more about it and how to fix it.

I am trying to install a game on my MDA Vario IV , it does have .xml file. But no .cab files , only .000 file , .002 , .003 , and .004 files. How do i install this game then ? The installer is the .xml file.
EDIT : Nvm , fixed it , i needed not the files within the .cab file , but just the .cab file itself to extract in on my mobile.

Couple of things:
You are in the wrong subforum. This section is for the Blue Angel. You should look for the Blackstone (aka Touch HD) section.
Now, the file that you opened is a cab file. You don't need to extract the contents of a cab file. Just copy it to your device and click on it one. The cab will install everything, including the settings in the xml.
Good luck!

can't unzip files with the device and can't play .wav files

Hi Everyone,
I am running the original rom downloaded from htc website wm6 and wierd that I can't unzip files and I have tried more than one progie and I can't play .wav files with wm player, it tells me that it is unsupported file type error. on unziping part, it tells me that can't find a directory and it is currupt file. if I d/l file with desktop it opens up fine and the wav file plays in wm player also fine.
Please help with this bug... it is driving me insane.
Thanx all.
tried total commander for zips ?
D/l and tried TC the file does not open.... for some reason the unit utilizes zip mobile instead of TC, but that what I am trying to open the file with. I hope this makes sense.
Also any one on the .wav problem?
start TC and then browse to the file, and open it from TC
I did that and it didn't work... I gave me the same error as before.
i know u said u downloaded the same file on ur pc and it works fine. try copying the file from the phone to the desktop and then test it, *maybe* the zip file that you're trying to open on the phone is corrupted

[Q] how to install games

hi guys
i know i may sound like a dim wit but how do i install games on my touch2 from the computer.
if its just a .cab file im able to install but if its a jar file or a zip file with more than one file then how do i install it from my comp.
pls pls pls pls someone help me!!
i will be very thankful.
thanks in advance.
edit: actually im not able to install .cab file either.
First assume you have your mobile connected to PC via activesync.
Transfer cab file to your phone through file explorer. In file explorer of your phone under "my documents" you find cab file. Double tab on it and file opens. Say "yes" when asked if you want to install program.
A winzip file you have to unzip and after that there is another cab file or a file you have to open from your PC. In many cases there is a readme file included.
A jar file you can open with program winrar or pocketrar. Than propably you find a readme file aswell with more instructions.
If not clear let us know.
