Hi,

Tried to download the free Skype program from cnet today, went through just fine till i tried to open it and it said it was not a valid pocket pc program!

Any one else have this issue?

Uobootwo

You are probably downloading the .exe which need to be installed via activesync instead of the .cab file.

yep that is what is said, but.... is'nt that what i want or what? im confused

You can choose to do the Windows Installer and Sync/Install that way or the Direct to PPC which you can copy over to your device and install the cab.

aha, so i am am idiot when it comes to this stuff, so...per your suggestion, if i wanted to go direct to me ppc, can u give me just a little more info that would b idiot proof.

Well...the idiot proof way would be to download the windows exe that is in the link I provided. Execute it on your computer and let it install. Hook up your ppc and it will install it on the 6700. It will tell you that you should check your screen to finish the installation. Choose whether you want to install in main memory or storage card (I would suggest main mem) and let her go!

ok, here is a crazy question, right now i am at work, lets say i want to do the idiot proof deal where i download it to my pc here at work, and the sync up.

Here is the question, does it matter if i have a version on my work pc?

oops should have said a skype version on my work pc.

ps. what is ths "agile link" from dllbrummers

Darn, talking to one guy in person, two phone conversations going, and one computer at the same time, sorry !

holy mackeral dllbrummels, u need to take a break eh!

That's unconcious dude!

It shouldn't matter that you have the version on your work PC. I have AS set up at work so I can install programs that I find that do not have a cab and I can't E-Mail my self to install directly on the 6700. Most of the programs that get installed on a PPC do not need to sync data between the program you are installing (unless it specifically says that it does this). Best way would be to install it and check it out.
