How do you save programs to your sd card?

Sorry I know this is a stupid question but I searched and couldn't find it. All my stuff automatically downloads to my MOGUL itself and it never asks me if I want to save to my SD card.....so how do I do that? Then if I go to memory>storage card> it says Total Storage Card Memory: Not Installed.......? Thanks

First of all make sure your SD card is actually physically installed in the phone. If it is, take it out, put in a USB card reader, and see if your computer can read it. If not, then you may need to format it. If that does not work, you could have a bad SD card.

Here is a very detailed tutorial I wrote on how to copy files to your phone and how to install programs on your phone, including a section on how to install to your SD card and how to decide when it is better to install to your phone or to the SD card.

How To: Install, Uninstall, and Transfer Files on Windows Mobile

I hope this helps.

If you want to move a program from ROM to your SD card, the easiest way is to uninstall it and then reinstall it again and select your SD as the location to install it to. Otherwise you could end up with breaks with certain things on your phone not knowing where to find the program.
