I have the game and it's not a .cab (which i would just install from the device).

It's a large .rar.

Do i extract it on my computer first. then copy and paste the folder?

did you do a soft reset after you installed it?

No need to reset after installing it. Here's 3.91 for what it's worth...

it's a rar file. a game a friend sent me.

basically the unrar program is not working on the phone. i don't know why. some of the buttons are there but for some reason they won't click.

when i click to unrar it just asks me to associate the files. that's it. it doesn't say unrar or even try to. all the buttons on the bottom are unclickable.

Could I just winrar the files on my computer and extract to either the device or to my computer (if computer i can then copy and paste files onto device)???
