Question regarding running .Exe file
sorry guys im new to the pda world...i browsed through the forums and learned everything there is to know from you guys...
i also downloaded all the programs u guys recommended and fixed what i could...but i stil dont know how to run the exec files...
my phone says "file is not a 5.0 phone tools file" or something along those lines...
any help is appreciated thanks for your time

With .exe files, I am able to install them via ActiveSync by downloading them to my PC and running the .exe. It should run on your PC and after you follow the instructions, it will start ActivSync's installation wizard.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can only run .cab files on the pocket pc if they are installation programs.... If not, it may not be compatible with Windows Mobile 5.0.

haha i get it now...thanks...originally i was copying the .exe install file to my phone and tryen to execute it. didnt think i had to run it on my pc instead

No problem. Just remember to uninstall the program from your PC if you don't need it on there. Many (if not all) of the programs I installed through ActiveSync showed up in the Add/Remove programs list, so I uninstalled them.
