Some basic questions

[Sandybobs]

I have an Axim x50v with WM6. I purchased it on ebay so there is no CD with it; other than that it is great! I D/L'd ActiveSync(the latest) from the MS site and I only could get it to sync once(yes, I've tried ALL the troubleshooting techniques!). I'm not concerned because I don't use Outlook but I would like to know how to install programs (I've been to the mobile devices download sites) without using ActiveSync. I have an SD card and a converter drive reader/writer so I am assuming I could D/L that way; which I have tried. I see that it works with zipped files and CABs but how do I install a program with the .exe extension?

Also, I have perusing the forums and see that WM6 is not "official." Should I downgrade to WM5 or 2003? I've not had any trouble with WM6 other than the sync issue and that seems to be a fairly common problem.

If there is another thread I can be directed to, that would be great.

Thanks in advance
