"File type ignored" WHY?

Postby bgullet » Thu Aug 06, 2009 6:43 pm

I have tried to install Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile v.5.00.20w
And when i try to install the exe file does the phone tell me that "file type ignored", and a lot of files on this is "unknown"..,,

Why? Is there any program i need ?

Ah. Right, so your phone does NOT run Windows Mobile. It has an entirely different operating system called Symbian, and more precisely (since there are a few varieties) Series 60 V3. So, uh, you have to get the Symbian version of Garmin; the Windows Mobile one is useless (it's like trying to run a Mac aap in Windows, etc.).

Hope it helps,
Ricky

Thank you for the information. But i still have problems. Downloaded the sybian version, but i still get on almost all files in the folders a orange box with the ? symbol, and if choose it it says filetype ignored.... i dont understand, i have the correct version now
