A few questions about my HTC Touch

I got one today, i'm definitely loving it. But a few things i'd like to know.

In the manual it says the Windows media player handles all those well known fileformats such as WMV and AVI, etc. So i plugged the HTC to my laptop and i drag and dropped a WMV and AVI file on the mem stick (this took A long ass time to copy by the way) when it was done...in the HTC i went to explorer and i choose the WMV and AVI...but with both files i received errors about it not being able to play them. What am i doing wrong?

Is there a way to put a custom picture as the main menu instead of the HTC default and the other ones already on it?

One AVI file used an Xvid codec...so i tried downloading a Xvid codec using the HTC, but it said i needed a mobile version of it.NO idea where to find it.

Another thing.....where do i find that program/addon for a much bigger and thus easier to use keyboard?(for the fingers to use,not stylus)

heres a spb for $10 if you feel like you need it. do a few google searches for the codecs and use keywords together like touch, xda developers, codecs, windows mobile media player, ppc just do some googling youll find it. then add a post please.

On another forum someone gave me the advice to use this

TCPMP

Just download the .cab file and install it. I've just tested a simpsons episode on the HTC, full screen, awesome stuff.

and if a movie is way too big, use this.

Yes all you have to do is put a picture on your phone and then find it in file explorer then highlight it until a menu pops up and it will give you an option to use it as a today picture.

Oh yeah tcpmp is good stuff I uploaded it the other day but thought you were trying to use windows media player, but glad you were able to get it up and running.
