Hello. I am now running Darkys ROM 8.1. Its the first time since upgrading I've tried transferring anything via USB. I notice that in windows I can't create a new folder on the ext sd card, nor access the existing folders, in fact they appear in windows (xp) with no icon or file assocation. Is it the file system used in the darkys rom that windows cannot recognise? .flv and .mpg files will transfer but when I try any other formats windows explorer says it may not be copied, may not exist or may be in use by another program.
Is this a setting in darkys I need to change? Has anyone seen this problem before? Can anyone help please
I found the answer thanks. Posting this for those who might have the same problem. I installed the Kies V2 on my win7 64bit laptop, and the file system on the phone can be seen now and file transfers can be done ok now.
It is either issues with Kies 1.5 or problems with my other pc after a hardware install.

I have down loaded several (cab) programs onto my Mac, then loaded this to the Kaiser. However, some programs only download from the internet as (exe). Can these load onto the Kaiser like (cab) file do? just checking before I do this.
those usually need to be installed to a PC first. then the PC installs them to the PDA device.
Unfortunately, we in the Mac world still have to use a PC every once in a while (please, no flame intended or desired).
There is one program, File Juicer, that can extract some .cab files from .exe files, but not most.
What you need to do is borrow a PC, download the .exe, double click on it. it will most likely be put in the c: drive, program files --->Microsoft ActiveSync. From there, you should see the .cab file and can put it on a usb drive and then put in on your Mac and transfer it over via Bluetooth.
It is the one frustration using these devices while living in the Mac world.
Thank you , I will give tht a try.
It's also worth trying to open them with your favorite app to handle ZIP files. The EXE is often just a self-extracting archive that doesn't actually require a PC to use.
there are two check and fix dead pixel program that you can run direct from the phone, it's a exe extention.

I downloaded a couple of games i want to put on my phone to test.
but im unsure how to put them on. can someone help me out..?
thanks.
and also if anyone knows any good sites i could download games aswell, that your sure that will work.
Connect your device to your PC via activesync.
If they're .exe files, run them on your PC and follow the process (i recommend installing them on your storage card)
IF they are .cab files or if Windows tells you they're not valid win32 apps then copy them over to your device. U can use activesync to this, right click the activesync icon in the taskbar and click on explore.
Once the files are on your device, browse to where you put them using file explorer and tap the files to install...
This is pretty basic stuff so keep it in mind when installing any other app/game.
Hi, I have a somewhat odd problem. I'm trying to change the sound of the alarm on my phone (I've read all the threads on it, I know how to do it).
However, when copying files from my computer to the device's \Windows, everything appears to copy fine, and then... they just aren't there.
I have attempted this from both my Mac and from an XP machine and I get the same result both times.
Is there something I could be overlooking?
Oh, and it's WM6.1.

try copying to your storage card and then using the phone to copy to windows. It sounds pretty weird to me though.
Could it be that you need to display hidden/system files by enabling this option in your file explorer?
I have just bought a HTC Diamond. I am new to the world of Windows Mobile.
So far the phone is great! I love it.
I have noticed you can download lots of apps and tweaks.
I want just wondering how to instal these programs on the phone.
I have downloaded a few games, Unzipped and copied over the files to the phone. It recognioses one of the games with a '.cab' format and it installed, but the rest are .xml.
Any pointers, tips and hints for this phone?
Cheers
the program you use to extract compressed files identifies cab files as compressed. All you need to do is copy the cab files to your phone and run the file from there. If you try to extract a cab file, you'll get those xml files you talked about.
1. Copy cab to phone
2. Run cab from phone to install the program
good luck

Hi - my first post!
You mention .cab files... I expect this applies to .exe's as well (for example, hot fixes)???
Any particular folder(s) on the phone we should be copying these files to before running them? I tried to install a hot fix today, but after running the .exe and receiving a 'success' message, the phone restarts OK, but the fix does not appear to have worked.
all exe install's for pocketpc's are pc exe files which have to be run
on the pc and then it use activesync to transfer the cab file to the
pocketpc and run it there

Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, running the exe on my PC (Win Vista) doesn't seem to work.
Error: "{C:\filepath\filename.exe} is not a valid Win32 application."
Any ideas? I'm a complete newb at this so have exhausted my very limited list of possible ideas...
some people don't distribute their apps with installers so it could
just be the program itself
in which case you have to execute it on the pocketpc
this of cause mean that it will not put a shortcut to the exe
in your programs thats just something you have
to do manualy with a program like total commander
which you can also use to browse to where you put the
exe file and execute it to start the program

OK thanks - I already tried running the exe straight from my Diamond, and although it appeared to work correctly, the hotfix didn't actually fix what it claimed to. Not to worry, I'm still learning all this stuff (only had my Diamond for a day and a half now... ).
Hello,
I'm currently running Benzo Rom, for some reason whenever I create a file/folder in rootexplorer in "/sdcard" for example, I can't see it on my computer when viewing through windows explorer, but I can see it clearly on my device. What gives?
(Running Windows 7)
.....
PC driver in Windows 10 not signed.
I faced the same issue. I found the reason as MTP bug. Anyways rename the file to something else(change a letter or so) later it should display in windows.

I should clarify that I am on windows 7, not 10. Also How does renaming the file to something else fix it? That doesn't solve the issue if I have to rename a new file/folder every single time I create it..

I've ran into the same situation, both for files I've created and for files created by an app and the only way I've been able to see them on my computer is to either rename them or move them to a different directory. Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear but I haven't figured out or heard of any other solution.
