Im a BB newbie, so please excuse idiotic questions for now.
When clicking on my desktop manager and trying to upload applications, it keeps giving me an error message.
I usually go to the website on my PC, download the app., usually a zip file, I go ahead and exctract to file, then open the desktop manager, hook up my BB, click to install app., click "browse", click the file to download but it keeps saying it doesnt recognize the file extension. The bad part is, when I click "browse" it wont show the axl extensions, it will only show the program when I hit "all files"

what program are you trying to install?
you seem to be doing it right....
usually it will install .ALX and .ALI I believe

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~Thats the problem. When I open the zip file I can't even see the icon unless I click 'show all files' instead of .ALX and .Ali files.

[digitalslack]

yeah it means they didn't include an alx or an ali file in the zip
what files are there?

[EvolutionCSR]

If you are just opening the zip file instead of unzipping it the .alx might not show up. I did that a few times when i first started getting to know my BB.

d file may b currupted, it recognises alx as well as ali , so u jus extract d file in a folder now point desktop mngr to it , n then try instalin it , n also wt file u r tryin to dwnload

how did u do it? did u convert it to an .alx or .ali file, if so how?

-Cyrus-, Welcome to PinStack.

What app are you trying to load? Please provide the file names and extensions also. If it's an app developed for the BB and loading with Desktop Manager is should come with an .alx file and one or more .cod files.
