Which OS do you have?
Which ROM are you using?
Which clocks did you try install?
Why didnt you use a proper title, ie descriptive of topic? ("need help" is not a topic title)
what you've done is extracted the cab files.
download them again, take the files that you downloaded and run them on your phone, they might look like zip or .rar files but they aren't they are cab files which you should just place on your sd card an tap to run them.
always install clocks and things to main memory..
hope that helps...
thats what i did but everytime i open the file it keeps taking me to opera
can you give us a link to the thread you downloaded from or attach the files you downloaded to a post in this thread...
also for some reason i cant drag and drop to main memory, always just memory card, i dont get that

thats probably because your selecting the usb storage option when you connect to the pc. if you choose activesync them you can access the device memory....
you don't need to store the cabs in main memory, just install them to main memory when prompted during the installation process....
Rawrscary's Neon Sliders2.zip is the file

ok the cabs are inside the folders named by colour so if you want the blue one then open up "blue" place the cab on your device and tap on it....
I guarantee you those cabs are fine because I've been using them for a looooong time....

Hi -
This is driving me crazy and I can't find anywhere to answer it (I'm sure it's trivial to most of you).
I copied a game (just the .exe file - not a .cab) into the \program files\games folder. The game icon is in that folder and it runs just fine - from that folder.
How do I get the icon to display whenever I Start/Programs/Games ? I'm guessing that it must be that I did not formally install and register it as a .cab but I am not that familiar with this OS to be sure.
TIA
Thats why it doesnt show up, because it's not installed. One thing you can do is get something like iLauncher and make the .exe a shortcut... and the icon will show up on your today screen.
Thank you! Is there a way to package the .exe in to a .cab file such that it properly registers as a game in to the game folder? Again, let me guess - get an existing .cab file and decipher it and use my .exe instead of the one that's in the .cab? Just a guess.

I have no idea how to make a CAB file... why not just find the game online, download the installer.. install it, and replace the .exe file with yours.
Hmmm.. Not trying to set the cat amoung the pigeons, but I'm not sure you need something installed to have an icon.
A few months back, I downloaded a battleships game that was just an .exe. I copied the exe onto my storage card, then placed a shortcut to it in the Windows/Start Menu/Games folder. When I open the Start > Programs > Games folder the icon showed up nicely.
Sorry, I've got no definitive answer on this, or even anything constructive to add, just concerned that I think you might be heading down the wrong path with the "cab needed" thing.
Ok, cool - I can try that - thanks! Right now it's not on the storage card and the program, not a shortcut is in the games folder in main storage.

I found instructions on how to create a cab file on MSDN (Microsoft Developers Network). Search MDSN for "cab wizard".
As for installing one program, and replacing its exe with another, I'd be careful about doing that - there may be checksums, registry entries, other required system files, etc. which may not play well with the new exe.
In the old days, you could get away with things like that. Today, you don't have a clue what and where a cab file places system entries. There are .ini files, .xml files, etc. involved in a cab file and I wouldn't want to second guess what is supposed to go where. (Open one with winrar and check it out).

Hello I am very new to this and i am having trouble putting programs on my wing. I wanted to do the page pool and the iphone theme but i don't know how to put the files on my phone once i downloaded them. I have my phone synced to my laptop. i tried to copy and paste them put when i go to my phone the paste option is not available... i need help an im sorry if i sound dumb. I was able to put battery status on my phone fine, but that was because it installed itself...
If i'm not mistaken, you can just drag them and nothing bad will happen.
In ActiveSync, click the "explore" button, then click "my windows device", go to program files, make a new folder for the respective applications, then copy them there.
You can then run the .cab's from your phone via the File explorer
it still won't let me. when i try to drag the .cab file into the folder the no sign is displayed....
What folder are you trying to drag it into?
Screenshots? Probably unneeded, good to have.
Hi guys. First of all, I'm new to WMO. I've downloaded Gyrator 2, PCMKeyboard, and the TuneUp file. Now, I've transfered these to the phone, both on the SD-card, and in the internal memory. However, when I try to run them, from File Explorer, it opens them in what I think, is Opera. And the screen stays white, nothing happens. This goes for all the files. Can anyone explain me, in an easy way, how you do this?
you could be reading the link in my sig and let me know if it helps...
Thanks - but that didn't help. I actually did it exactly like you wrote it.
For those of you with Gyrator 2 installed, this is what happens to me:
I copy it to the storage card, then open the gyrator file. Files list up, like this:
_setup
00Events
0Gyrator
0Gyrator
And much more. The only file working, is of course the _setup file, which shows with a Opera-ikon, for some reason. So, if I try to run the _setup, a white screen appears, and nothing happens. If I try to run any of the other files, which shows with a Windows-ikon, I get an error, telling me to first open Gyrator 2, then run the file via the program.
For running gyrator you need also Net compact framework 3.5 installed.

I've installed gyrator in this way:
copied the gyrator install file to storage card
run the file using file explorer
after that I've installed also Net compact framework from the link above in the same way

It does indeed (I'll update the wiki page, cheers for that )
Bungieman - the SD tuneup .cab doesn't need it though - what happens when you try to run that?
Same thing, two files, one with "_setup", which has a Opera - ikon.
If this were PC windows, I'd say that somehow the .cab files had been associated to the wrong program.
Clicking a .cab ought to run it, not open it up and show you what is inside!
There should be no need to run the _setup manually - simply clicking the .cab should take care of all that...
I take it you haven't managed to install anything yet?
The HD is as it arrived in the box?
I had similar issue with another program. I saw opera setup icon, run it and there was only white screen in opera browser...
What I did wrong, was that I unpacked the .cab file on the phone's card - the PC showed me that it is packed file, like .zip or .rar and I extracted it to the phone.
So I had only to copy .cab file to phone's memory card and run it there (using file explorer) without extracting it. Then the program installed succesfully
You do know that you can just use your phones browser, find the file and click on it and then save it direct to your SD card? Much easier and then you just go to file explorer and click on the file and it installs. That is as long as it is a cab file, if its a msi file like the net framework thing is then you need to run it from your pc with ur phone connnected.
The reason why Opera being brought up running the "_setup.xml", is you don't need to extract the contents in the .cab file to begin the installation..
Just copy the .cab file to the SD card and run it thru File Explorer.
If you're not sure if it's a .cab file, open it in WinRAR to see the Address Bar what it shows, or turn on the option in the Windows Explorer for showing file extensions..
I am having trouble instaling .cab file I install them on to my memory card the use file explorer to find them tap on set up them it goes to my opera browser and then to a white screen and then nothing can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or guide me to where I can get help

It sounds like you had first opened the cab file (on your PC desktop maybe?) and are trying to run the setup.xml file inside the cab, instead of the cab itself. Copy JUST the single .cab file over to your phone's card, and click that to run it.
yeah like sirphunkee said, do not unzip the downloaded files before transferring them to your phone.
TRANSFER THE FILE AS IT IS, and RUN ONLY THE .cab files from the phone. No other extensions.
Thanks for the help that is what I was doing wrong I was unpacking them again thanks for the help

np, that one happens all the time
so how do you unistall a cab file..im new to winmo as far as tweaks i come from blackberry, so what i did is i installed a clock cab. but its not like i thot so i cant unistiall can i get some help?
i got it, my add/remove programs wasnt showing...resolved on my end thanks.
So I tried to search but couldnt find what I was looking for.
How do you exactly install apps, themes or games properly on this phone. The only program I found that somewhat worked was Omarket. Reading here in the forums people suggested that all the apps or themes I would need were here. I found both apps and themes I like but cannot get them on the phone to work.
I download the the theme or app on my computer then I make a custom folder on my SD card then extract all the files to that folder. When I go back into my phone and try to do a set up I get taken to a blank white screen that says something like
file://localhost/Storage%20Card/<name of program or app>
Im new to this phone been trying to research alot about it.
I tried finding all the "noob" post to read but maybe Im not finding the right ones
If for some reason you needed to know my software info here it is.
ROM Version: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio Version: 2.10.20.26
Thx for any and all of your help. Im trying! =P
Apps that can be installed from the phone will have a .cab extension. Locate the folder with the .cab files and click on one. It will start the install process.
Apps with .exe extensions will need to be loaded from you computer. Make sure your device is hooked up via activesync and click the .exe app you want to install.
So for the .cab files I have to go to the website from my phone and download them there for it to be on my phone properly? Or is there any way I can download them to my desktop then transfer it to my phone and then install it on my phone?

"How to install a cab.
You simply download the cab to your computer. Then, copy/paste the cab to your storage card using the USB connection. Then, using your file explore on your phone locate the cab file in your storage card and install it by double taping the file. Install onto device or storage card. I prefer installing onto the storage card."
Take a look at my sticky, you'll find it to be very helpful.

you can do it either way. If you download them to your desktop, connect your phone via active sync, copy the cab and past it to where ever it is that you want to save it on your phone. (sd card is prefferred for space reasons) after that, open the location where the cab is stored and you can run it from there. If you download from your phone, determine where you want to save the cab, your options will be device and card. You will also have an option to save in a specific folder. after that, locate the cab and instal.
