Do you, by any chance, have "BridgePower"? It looks like it's incompatible with WM6+, and I think that is why you can't run it.
Here's a site showing 3 games of Bridge. I think your best bet is Omar Sharif Bridge, but the full version is $14.99 (USD). But I'm not exactly sure if it will work on WM6.5+, so I think you can try the demo first.
It seems like not many people are developing Bridge games anymore because the ones I see are all for WM6 and below.

Hi,
Thanks for all your trouble. It's T Bridge from GRADSOFT. It worked fiine on windows Mobile 3.** on my HTC [email protected] I have windows Mobile 6.** right ?
The thing is it installed well and I even find it in the games folder and all. Problem is it startas for just a second (like a flash) and then it's gone. The gradsoft guy said to buy an upgrade....but i am being carefull

If it was designed for Windows Mobile '3', then it almost certainly won't work.

ok ??
MMMM thanks anyway although I'd like to know why not of course

All of these (plus more) can cause a program to just close on start up:
Operating system dependencies will have changed/been removed (i.e. missing files)
I think 2003 and prior versions don't have .net 2.0 without an update, so the basic version will be 1.1, too many differences between them to be 100% stable with every app.
Dynamic link libraries dependencies will have changed/been removed in newer OS versions.
Screen resolutions changed/support for older ones removed in newer OS versions.
Processor architectures/speeds either not compatible or too fast for the program to work correctly, causing 'fatal' errors and closing the program.

[q] remote desktop mobile help!!

Ok so i looked everywere and cant find the answer so this is my question ok am running elegancia rom and am trying to use the remote desktop mobile but it wont let me.. I have windows vista home premium and so i read that it wont work but there is a way to by pass it... Can ya let me no how to do that were can i download that. And also i downloaded vnc viewer enterprise i have it install in my computer but how do i install it on my phone... Plz help i tried everything am frustrated now cuz i really trying to make this work...

You're new to this computer stuff aren't you?
Software written for a computer does not work on a phone unless it has been designed to do so specifically.
I believe that there is a setting in Vista Home Premium's registry that fools it into thinking it is a business version. Use Google.

Apparently he's new to english as well
The vnc viewer you need is available at this link: http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/pocket-pc/freeware/download--net-vnc-viewer-v1-0-1-17.html
Seeing as you are very obviously not an IT technician i would not recommend messing with the registry on the PC as you will very likely do something wrong and quite badly damage it.

Ahhh... That's what it was... I wondered...

But i have an imac!!!! help!

Hi guys
i'm really thrilled about the android developments for the hd2, but have waited a while until it had been properly tried and tested and a stable build was made...
Really would like to install the NAND android But..........
I have an apple Mac!!!

Sell it and buy a pc

Use VMWare or use BootCamp!

hopefully you have an intel mac, your only option is to use bootcamp. VMware or parallels will not work. There's no mac software for flashing

Meh, forget it.

Get the 3 sets of files you need, copy to a USB key, then borrow someone's Windows 7 PC, or go to library, Kinko's, etc and perform the work there. With the right files etc, the flashing process only takes about 10 mins max.
oh and make sure you have activsync installed. need that to ensure the drivers/connection is made

your only solution is to buy an iphone 4
lol i kid i kid.... I think you can use virtual box or something like that to use windows programs or just go to a friend house with a pc

my gosh... i didn't realise that none of this is possible on a mac.... that makes me sad...
i'm afraid my mac is rather old... but still working perfectly...
it's an imac 1.25 ghz PowerPC G4

yea you'll have to use someone elses windows machine...it doesn't take long at all just download the files you need

can i not just install the .exe file directly on my phone and open it up on the phone itself???

and i got something called " a solution " which is
1- Install bootcamp if you dont know how-to forget the whole thing
2- Buy a PC YOU WONT REGRET IT
3- Dah ... this is xda = Wm (windows) + Android (linux) no iphone so no mac sell your mac

no way respectively (regarding imac)

No, if it was that easy don't you think we all would be doing it that way? Do you not know anyone with a PC? I think it's your only option as far as I know.

hmmmmm i work in the grpahic design industry! we all use macs....
i'll have to go to a cyber cafe somewhere.....
so first i got the do the HardSPL thing and the Radio thing before i can do the MAGLDR thing and NAND thing....
wow..... i need more than 10 mins to do all that....

You NEED to use Bootcamp. I use my Macbook pro for all of this flashing I do. All through bootcamp.
If you try and install HSPL with VMWARE you will most likely brick your phone. USB connection will be terminated when the phone changes state using VMWARE.

Go to a friend, install clockwork recovery there and then you'll never need a pc again
you can flash through recovery as soon as you have installed it.

This one. Probably 90% of the design industry use Macs.

A VM with direct USB access could work, but I don't know if there is even one available on Mac and if the Mac CPU's support it (you need a pretty new CPU with Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi) and a supporting hypervisor like KVM or Xen (on Linux) or VMWare ESXi4 or higher. Maybe VMware Fusion for Mac supports it too, they do a pretty good job of Video card passtrough but I don't know about USB.
But my point is: it might be possible, but why even bother? Just get access to a Windows PC or install boot camp (if you have an Intel Mac).
You can't complain now: when you bought you're HD2 you know that WinMo isn't really designed to work with Mac (you use iSync right? It isn't even developed by MS) and it never has been common to flash from Mac (I don't even know if it is possible)

[Q] MMS Not working... Setup APN manually

Hey guys, got WP7 on my HD2 today and I was reading that you had to manually set your APN to gain 3G. I set mine up (epc.tmobile.com for TMOUS) and I have 3G, yet MMS still wont work! Have searched and searched and it seems some people's just works randomly. Halp!

try download from the market in the HTC section the connection setup... and let it configure the phone for tmobile... I don't know if it will fix the problem but theres no harm in trying

dont you have to go through that long fix to use the market....? right now i cant do that because the SDK tools wont install. says there is an issue installing .net framework 4 something or other.... :/ looks like im going back to stock 6.5 and android for now

If you cant side load the connection setup since you dont have the dev tools installed and don't have it activated with Live... No other way..
Normally it would work with the APN set correctly since theres no other options like mms ip and so on... Enjoy Android.. Lets see if in the future this issue gets fixed

Well... I guess my heart is set that I am so in love with WP7, I am going to keep trying. My issue was the .NET framework. When I try to install the SDK it says that the .NET Framework 4 blah blah couldn't install. Mind you I manually installed the .NF4 beforehand, uninstalling and reinstalling now, will report back. Until then, anyone had this problem then fixed it?

LOL. Got rid of my gaming rig... making dude with an AMD XP 2600+ 1GB Ram, and a GeForce 6800GS. get the job done, but would crumble on W7. I finally got past that point and installed the SDK. Now Zune effed up... reinstalling hoping to fix.

Hope everything ends up working for you... Aslong as Zune loads up and connects to the phone .. All you got to do is go into the market or Music while plugged in and sideloading should work
Hey i got W7 running on an Old Gateway with AMD Athlon 1400 1G Ram and Radeon 9550.. Aero and all runs fine.. Have it stored away just incase

Really? How does W7 run on that PC?
Now back on topic.... lol. So, I got Zune to load and my device connects correctly. Now chevron isn't working and apparently there is a 1% chance of anyone getting it to work on XP. Yet, I was just informed that most roms come pre-unlocked so I wont need chevron!
Now that my device is hooked up, how do I sideload? I have the connection setup ready to go.

If the ROM you have says it comes activated and unlocked with the registry changes already cooked then all you have to do is load up Zune and connect the phone.. then on the phone go to Music & Videos or the Market so the Sync Complete Screen comes up then just use TOM XAP installer or a hacked version of the Developer Application Deployment Program to sideload and .xap you want (connection setup)....
Off topic.. I just started up the setup DVD and it installed W7 on it and right from the start everything except the Audio worked and an update fixed it

What cooked rom are you using? I'd like a preunlocked one... probably make things easier.

had the same issues with t-mobile uk. downloaded the htc conntection wizard and ran that and it worked fine. also try sending a picture message, as sometimes that seems to fix the issue (i had to do this on android).
as for the chevron hacks etc, you are better off using a pre-unlocked rom. look in the wp7 development section of this forum and u will find most roms will cook it in. if u have that then your next challenge will be the windows live id for marketplace access. US have chat support for windows phone 7, but in the UK i had to phone them and just got given a code
your PC will run windows 7 fine, windows 7 needs less resources than vista, i have some very old PCs running windows 7 and they run fine, the only issues i have come across is aero not working, which i can live without.
you may find that it is a worthwhile upgrade, as not only with the wp7 dev tools be much easier to install/use on windows 7, but any updates to them are most likely to only be available to windows 7, plus XP is in extended support, meaning that updates will only be rolled out if they are critical, and most newer software will carry the designed for windows 7 logo.

agreed. waiting for my hard disks to partition and installing windows 7.
I flashed a WP7 rom on my phone that is pre-unlocked, but I am still unsure how to side-load this connection setup. Phone connected and recognized by zuneeeee. What next?

Glad to hear everything started to work out...
This is how i sideload apps
Once Zune regognizes the phone and syncs succesfully while still pluged in... on the phone make sure the backlite is set so it wont turn off.. if it turns off it breaks the connection.... Once you have that set go into the market on the phone or Music & Videos... Once you go into one of those apps it will say that you are connected and it will sync briefly and say sync complete... while still in that sync complete screen start up the Application Deployment and browse to the connection setup .xap and deploy it.. If the connection Setup is signed correctly (official App) it should successfully send it to the phone and load up right away.. if not it should be in the programs list

Hmm.. alright thanks man. Ill definitely give it a shot tomorrow.

Exactly what I have running. Runs Ultimate fine.
Back on topic. Its not tht hard to sideload apps.
Turn lockscreen timer to never in settings.
Open Zune. Wait for sync complete. Minimize Zune.
Deploy xap via Toms xap installer or even easier download wp7 marketplace for PC and set xap file association to have wpdeploy run on double click.

MS Office 2010 Fails to function on Win8

MS Office 2010 consistently fails. You can get it to install in compatability mode, but it gets stuck trying to load Word, etc. even in Compatability mode. Only way to edit windows documents currently seems to be Skydrive which sucks with the whole metro interface issues trying to navigate. LOL so sad.... I want to like Windows 8 but Im having a hard time finding a reason.
Note: this is CP

Sounds like something is corrupt, Office 2010 should work out-of-the-box in Windows 8 consumer preview as it does here.

Agreed, working fine here, I assume your not using an extremely dodgy edition?
It wouldn't surprise me if MS added something to the mix to stop that, but failing that, im guessing there's some compatibility issue around it and your configuration, you did try installing it WITHOUT compat mode?

runs fine here too. take dazza's suggestion and dont install in compatibility mode.

Works fine for me on 3 different systems running Windows 8. The problem is on your end, not Windows 8's.

I was able to get it to work finally, but I had to run it in Compatability mode to install, and run it. Also it kept failing to open files it would just hang, but the day after I posted about it they released a patch. As of the patch it opens, edits, and saves files fine.
I was/am using the Free Trial version of Office 2010 a fresh copy direct from MS, and running it on Win 8 cpe 8250

Office 2010 Pro Plus 64bit loaded fine on my tablet. It was even pre service pack 1, which i installed afterward.

Works Fine here office 2010 on windows 8 64 bit!

you don't need compatibility...works flawless out of the box on windows 8 64 bit.
