I just received my axim, and I downloaded a Handmark game...I just do not know how to install it on the axim???

I downloaded the game onto my laptop then by means of sync, I moved the exe from the laptop to my storage card on my axim....when I went to open the exe it said that it is not a valid pocket pc application...

What am I doing wrong???

Thank you.

Put the .exe back on your pc and run it from there, it will install to your ppc

I tried that and I received the following message: Could not find the Palm Desktop software. Please try reinstalling the Palm Desktop CD and then run this installer again.

So...is this the CD that came with my Axim, or is it something else??

I appreciate your assistance.

You might have downloaded the wrong version. Make sure to download the pocket pc version. If you ever have a choice between arm xscale mips, download xscale. If you don't see xscale download the arm version. Usually when there are exe's it will automatically install the correct version...

I believe that I did download the pocket pc version...the game is called handmark PockeChess Deluxe v2.51...

Does anyone know if this is the right version from my axim?

Well, according to the Handmark website, there are two versions - one for Palm and one for PPC:

Palm
Pocket PC

You may have inadvertently downloaded the wrong version. Did you just download the trial or did you purchase it? If you downloaded the trial, just download the other one. If you have already purchased it, I would contact Handmark to explain.

Moved to Games.

I think it was connected when he tried it. He just downloaded the palm version instead of the pocket pc version...

Yeah, I reckon you got the wrong version. Make sure you download the PocketPC version and it should work fine :)
