Do not use the *.exe files to install from your computer. Then you are completely independent of the environment on your computer. Besides, why should you have these programs install something on your computer?

Should you not have any add-on card (SD or something) then create a special folder in main memory, run the files from there and remember to delete theinstallation files, *.cab, afterwards.

By the way, a great program to have for such matters is MyMobiler. When the device is connected to your computer you can use your computer's mouse and keyboard to control your device, and the device screen will show up as a window on your desktop. Really speeds up data entry, etc. Also free. This one you have to install the *.exe since it has a desktop component. And it works fine with 64-bit Windows 7, which is what I am using.
All right, I'll have to look for those programs. Right now, my more immediate concern is that I'm having problems syncing it with Outlook on my XP desktop and my Win7 laptop together--which used to work fine. Chasing down the error msg, I see that it was a known bug in WM 6.1, which is what I have, and that a fix was issued to the OEMs. Probably not much chance of getting that, since I used a ROM from the developer site.

If I can't fix it in WM 6, I wonder if I could roll back to WM 5.
