Pleeeeeease help...can't get ipaq 4705 to install ANYTHING

OK, thanks all for looking, even though I am a FNG n00b.

I can't seem to get my Ipaq to do much of anything. Yeah, it browses the web, writes word docs, all the preloaded stuff. But it refuses to install anything!

Specs: Ipaq 4705, WM2003SE.

The problem:

I have tried dozens of programs downloaded off the internet. It utterly refuses to install any CAB files...constantly get the "there is no application associated with xxxx". Have tried numerous CABs, as well as installing on my PC and hoping activesynch would do it's job, to no avail.

Furthermore, any .exe I download, which is clearly a valid WM exe, gives me the error "not a valid windows CE application".

Furthererermore, every attempt to download and run any kind of JVM/JRE has failed, again, ipaq won't open it 'cause "there is no application associated with xxxx" and "not a valid windows CE application". I guess running Opera and every other of the million java based programs is out of the question now.

Furthererererermore, I have found a few .zip that claim to be valid programs...but every time I try to download an unzipper, get the &&@#*#@ing ""not a valid windows CE application" error again.

I am running in circles and can't seem to install anything to my device.

What the hell am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your time, and have a wonderful day.
