I just got a PPC-6700 Sprint Windows Mobile 5 device. Everything worked
fine originally, but now when I copy a .cab file to my device so I can
install it, it does nothing when I click it. If I click-and-hold a .cab
file, it will give me the normal "cut, copy, paste, etc." options. Why are
no cab file launching to do an install when I click them. Anybody heard of
this problem? Thesee are files that /i know are good Won Mobile 5
installs. Please let me know!

Its possible that one of your programs has taken over the file association
for cab files.
I recommend you download and try CabInstl. Its a very small program that
deals with the installation of cab files. Its very good actually as it also
allows you to specify a cab to install to an external card.
Install that and set it to be the default application for cabs and see if
you can regain your cabs back.
