Trouble installing games

I have a new Axim x51 and have downloaded a few games for windows mobile 5.x (which I am running), but when I go to install them I get the message that it is "not a valid pocket pc application". What am I doing wrong?

Hi tafkap777!

Welcome to Pocket Pc Addict.
What you need to do is set the security of WM5 to off. You can use the attached file to do the job for it.
Don't forget to disable your settings on Error Reporting.

I hope this helps....

Well, I did exactly what you said to do (turned off the security with that nifty program and disabled error reporting), but I am still getting the same pop-up telling me that it's not a valid pocket pc app. Now I'm really confused!

Never mind... I didn't realize that the installation process started on the computer. Darn newbies!

hehe... no problem tafkap777. Just remember that if you download a .CAB file, you can run it directly on your Dell Axim X51 to install it!

Let us know if you have any other questions!
