Have just got my new Ax v51x and have been trying to put my WA2 themes on it. Some work no problem and others won´t install and I get a warning about "thumbs" (write protected or some such) and that there could be too little memory (still have 176Mb rom free).

The other reason I ask is that I have been considering buying a very sweet skin set (http://www.kolumbus.fi/anders.ruohio/scifi.html) and want to know if it will load onto my Ax before shelling out my money

Any advice and greatly appreciated

Thumbs hidden files which Windows XP makes in folders where images are located. When compressing a skin folder into a zip, you also compress the Thumbs files (which you can't see). You can remove the Thumbs.db files from the compressed ZIP's (or other compression formats) after the compression is completed.
Alot of skinners don't do this, and that's what is causing that problem. If you open the ZIP file, remove the Thumbs files and then copy the files to your device, it should be no problem.

Well, stab me, it worked :cheers: thanks a lot. It had been getting me a bit peeved as I was trying to get a skin onto my Dell that I had previously used on my "old" yakumo pda (with no problems)

Well, now I know. Cheers and thanks for the advice :) :)
