There's the DLL files and the program files that must be installed under the /windows directory. THose are the files that tkae up space when you install to a cf card. I believe Fathammer's Stuntcar Extreme Takes up a lotta space this way.

When you install programs to the BIS or SD card some files are going to be copied to the main memory as the program need it. I found that if you force close some of the programs it frre some space. Do you do mail withthe PPC. If you do attachments may take some space in your RAM.

ok wel i thought sumti like that was happening and ya i have stunt car extreme but how do you force close a program and also yes i do use email and i believe a bunch of my emails have attatched files so this explanes alot but sum1 should really make a program that'l make it so that thefiles dont go into the main memory just have a shortcut to them on the memory card

MemMaid will also allow you to manage DLL files (moving those that can be moved to a storage card) as well as specifying a storage card for email attachments.

Try this:

(1) Uninstall Stuntcar Extreme from your pocket pc and desktop.

(2) Re-install Stuntcar Extreme, choosing BIS or a memory card as the installation directory. (I know it doesn't work... keep reading...)

(3) While still hooked up to ActiveSync, explore to \Program Files\Fathammer\Stuntcar Extreme. Highlight all files present and CUT.

(4) Now explore to BIS or memory card for \Fathammer Stuntcar Extreme\ and PASTE the files into the empty directory created during installation.

(5) Right-click SCE.exe and create a shortcut.

(6) Rename the shortcut Stuntcar Extreme.

(7) CUT the shortcut.

(8) In main memory, explore to \Windows\Start Menu\Games\ and PASTE the shortcut, overwriting the previous one.
