Can’t find where my sownloads are-need to install a file?

Hi all,

I just got a Treo Pro (upgrade from 700p) and I am getting used to the Win OS from Palm OS. I am trying to downlaod apps and when it asks where to store, it gives me FIle location., and I put them on the storage card or device, but when I try to open them it states I "need to have an application associated with i.e snappyseeker_ota_en. Run the application first,then open this file from within the application" I have had a devil of a time trying to figure out what Application I’m supposed to use or install.

Doesn’t matter if prc or some other ending. I still get teh standard message of "There is no application assiciated with Opera Mini.( another I"m trying out)Run the application first, then open this file within the application" How do I get these downloads to one central locale and install them.

Sorry I"m so breathy- but this Win OS is starting to drive me a little nuts trying to learn. ONly had phone 5 days and need a good manual on these type of things.

Thanks

Maybe a good idea..

I was pondering the other day about my 800w and the problematic phone it seems to be. I was thinking it’s probably not fair to blame Palm entirely for all the hangs ups, the need to soft reset every other day, or other problems that you might read about on the internet, I’m sure Mr. Gates played a huge role as well, what with the solid OS windows mobile is.. So then I got to thinking what if Palm created some way that we might update as it were, our 800w’s to this new WebOS. I’ve never used this new operating system and don’t know much about it except the hype and that it doesn’t do voice command, (something I hope palm is working on vigorously…) but perhaps Palm could toss it around in some thinktank and decide for themselves. Any thoughts on this?

When I use Drive mode on Windows XP, the SD card, which previously was visible, is not showing up on my computer, only the Life Drive shows up.

Palm Zire Touch pad problem…also…

jedwan — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:59:51 +0000

My touch pad (Palm Zire- old) does not respond when trying to locate in depth information…any thoughts or suggestions?

Can I transfer the information from the Palm Zire onto my desktop/laptop without much of a fuss?

Should I consider getting an updated PDA and if I did would it be easy to transfer from the old one to the new device? Costs of the new device?

Thanks for any and all advice-

Help with Treo Pro!! PLEASE!!

I purchased a GSM Treo Pro from eBay… on the third day of use, I pulled it out of my pocket and the phone was off and the battery should have had around 80% (which as you all know doesn’t happen to a treo unless the battery is dead). I took the phone home and put it on the charger – nothing. Not even a red charging light. I pulled the battery out and plugged it in and the red light came on, so I assumed it was the battery.

I then purchased another battery for it and it came today – but it’s obvious to me now that it’s not the battery’s fault. What can I do? Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

PT 700p Stuck on RGB Test

jedwan — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 09:19:35 +0000

My Trio 700p (Verizon) is stuck on some type of RGB Test screen. When I had my mem card installed it initially asked about an upgrade but said that There was no upgrade available on the memory card and went back to the RGB Test. Tried reset but didn’t seem to work. I no longer have the book. Any help?

I am changing from a desk top computer to a laptop to HotSync to. I have loaded the program to the new laptop and it went well. When I try to HotSync it gives me the message that it is not the correct computer. How do I introduce the new computer?

Thanks
