Not able to install New Themes

I have been attempting to install new themes on my AXIM with BVRP's Theme manager and keep getting the message that new CAB files cannot be wirtten. Any one have this problem and solved it?

Since no one responded but there were more than a few that took a look at the question posed I thought I would update this issue. I had installed Pocket Theme manager and could not get any new themes to install and kept getting a message indicating there was a problem with the CAB files.
After exhausting my limited amount of expertise I finally decided to back up and reboot. Litterly. I did a hard reset. Rebooted the PC and reinstalled active sysnc. I am also forced to use Lotus Notes here at work and I had to reinstalled easysync Pro. Lo and behold Pocket Theme Manager is working quite well and I can now evaluate the product to see if I want to shell out the cash to get the full version.
Hopes this helps somone else.

I have purchased the BDSL Pocket theme manager. It is very inexpensive (13 us dollars ) and for my use it is perfect. I have made several themes for my AXIM and they are easy and very satisfying to me. You can take "any" picture format and turn it into a theme. Currently I flip between theme's as the mood hits me and it is painless. I have used my childrens pictures as well as some I have found else where. Since I am a Stargate fan I have used the Theme manager to make a nice theme for my use.

You may find a better theme manager but I doubt that any can be more user friendly.

Nuff Said.

I downloaded ThemeMakerLite, it was free and works just great. It was easy for me to use, and I've never made them before, and all I had to do to install the theme was to connect my Axim to ActiveSync and transfer the theme file to the "My Documents" folder on my Axim. Easy as 1,2,3! :-);) BTW, I think I got the ThemeMakerLite here at aximsite under the downloads section.
