I have an axim x3i and downloaded acrobatreader-ppc2002.exe. when i click on it from my documents folder it tells me that it is not a valid pocket pc application. i've seen this message before on something else i downloaded. how do i install acrobat reader on this?

Magicmonger

Through activesync on your pc.

It should be on your Dell cd that you received when you purchased your X3i.

Uninstall what you got then reinstall the program from the cd.

i can't download from adobe's site right to my x31?

You can, but it would be of no value since the the adobe download file (acrobatreader-ppc2002.exe) is a desktop application exe file, not a Pocket PC application file.

As noted by Magicmonger, this app needs to be executed on a desktop and will install via Activesync.

This is quite common for PPC application installations. There are some developers who offer PPC .CAB files that will install directly on your AXIM, but most apps tend to install from a host PC.

Sorry I wasn't more explicit. I thought you knew that already.

I had this problem once with Acrobat. I remember copying a CAB file to my Axim and installing it that way. I forget where I found the CAB file though? I may have run the installer without being connected to the Axim, located the CAB file and copied it to the Axim for installation. The CAB file would be under Program Files/ Microsoft Active Sync/Adobe.
