If you are trying to change the Page Pool, the batch files need to be run on your PC, with your phone connected via ActiveSync.

How are you running it on the PC? Double-clicking on the .bat file? And you are running Windows, right?

It is possible that your file associations are messed up for batch files. Try doing it this way:

1) Unzip the Page Pool files to somewhere that will be easy to find - like c:\PPool
2) Go to Start > Run
3) type 'cmd' in the Open box and click OK. (do not type the quote marks, just cmd). if you did it right, a black "DOS" window should open.
4) Type 'c:' and press <Return> (assuming that you unzipped to the c: drive - and again, don't type the quotes)
5) Type 'cd PPool' and press Return. The command prompt should now read C:\PPool. If you used a different directory name, then substitute that name for the PPool in my example.
6) Make sure that your phone is connected via ActiveSync. Type backup.bat and press return

If you did it right, it should display a line of text starting with 'pdocread', and then another line starting with 'copying'...

All in all, it should take about 15 seconds to perform the backup and then drop you back to your command prompt.

When the backup is complete, you can do the pagepool change by entering the size you want and pressing Return (4.bat, or 6.bat, for example)

Good luck,

Java files are installed after launching Jbed or any Java client on your PocketPC first.

There are a lot of emulators including Game Boy Advance. Have a look at here (http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=sfV&q=gba+emulator+for+pocketpc&btnG=Search&meta=)
