If the game file is .exe type run it in the PC with PocketPC connected as stated in the instructions manual.

Have you looked in the download area? Don't look at the palm OS games (prc files) look at the windows mobiles downloads.

Not all of the titles that are in the MyTreo.net store are in the download area. Here's a link to the store filtered with games that are compatible with your Treo 750: http://mytreo.net/store/section.php?xSec=19&xSort=&xDevice=18&xBrand=0. Click on each item individually to get more details and to download a free trial (where available). Hope this helps. Alison |

Are you sure you're installing the software correctly? Given that 12 users have rated it an average of 5/10 it must be working on their Windows Mobile Treos. |

Essentially you have two choices on how to install games. If you download a .exe file then that need to go on your PC and be installed to the Treo via Activesync. Basically once ActiveSync is installed, connect your Treo using the USB cable provided or via Bluetooth and double click on the .exe file. Activesync will guide you through the rest. If you've got a Mini SD card in the device, I'd recommend installing as much as possible to the card, to save you memory space on the device.
Second option is to download a .CAB file to the device either over the air using your data connection (so it never has to touch the PC) or you can copy the .CAB to your device whilst connected to the PC. With ActiveSync open and the Treo connected to it, click Explore on the ActiveSync menu. Copy the CAB file into My Documents on the device.
Once you've done either of these to get the .CAB onto the Treo, use File Explorer on the device to find the CAB. Click on it and it will begin the installation. As before, try and install as much as possible on to your Storage Card, to save memory space for running programs.
I hope this helps. Any further questions, just post here.

Or you can just go down the .CAB file route as I described, then the file only installs on the Treo.

Usually you get a choice of downloads for each game. I know that for our Astraware games we offer a choice of .exe or .cab. I've just looked at another entry in the MTDN store and found this. If you check the download link you'll see it's offering you a .cab: http://mytreo.net/store/product.php?xProd=550&xSec=19. I guess it's just a case of checking on a product by product basis depending on what you're interested in. Hope this helps. Alison |
