Do you know what format the files are in? Have you tried installing the files on your SE phone? I don't know anything about Nokia formating for cell phones, but if the game is a .jar (java) file extension, it's quite possible that Nokias use them as well and due to your Nokia software, the downloaded game is being associated with the Nokia software.

I'd say to try installing the game on your SE phone. If you don't need or won't ever need the Nokia software, you could uninstall it.

if you had nokia software previously installed on your system it may be that your pc's MIME types recognise the format as Nokia's that's all.

i.e. like if you tell realone player to play all mp3 types for example the pc will always show as a real one file not a windows media files.

Yes, it doesn't matter if you uninstalled it, the MIME types defined in your PC's memory will still be set to that!

Right....Go to my documents...Tools....Folder Options...File Types...navigate to the file type (jar) and change the default program that windows looks for to open these file types.

ok?

to install games you need to put the files you downloaded in other that is correct.

then you need to navigate to that folder on your phone and install from there...then the phone will ask if you want to install to the games folder.

BTW i hope this was a legitimate torrent site and not an illegal download? lol
