help please

Ok so i know this part of the forum is only for pocket pcs but I think its ok to post this here. So whenever I try installing a freeware program on the Samsung Ace i get the message, "installation was unsuccessful. the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."

Is there some setting I need to change or what? Thanks for your help. And now my brother knows why I told him to get a touch or mogul over the Ace haha :)

are you sure you have enough memory?

[404]

yeah. I mean the phone is pretty much new and theres only a handful of contacts on it right now. And not much else except what came pre-installed. It has to have more memory than that right? or are these phones short on memory?

[andason]

i'm not really sure on that.. but here is some info i found on google..


This error is due to insufficient memory available on the device's main memory to expand the cab files. On a device running the Windows Mobile 5.0 and above operating system, in order to expand the cab files for the product you need 2 times the memory required for the program even if you are installing it to a memory card that has sufficient memory available.

ohh wow thanks. Ill try and free up some memory and give it a try in a bit. I guess these phones just have small memory. Ive never really played around with one, just my mogul. Thanks again though. ill try it out.

how large is the file? and how much memory do you have?

otherwise.. good luck
