Noob with question - Treo Forum

Hi Folks,

I downloaded an app (paid for) from a 'treo site', lo and behold, it's actually a windows xp or 2000 app. does anyone know of a way to run windows apps on a treo 650, or is there an faq/tutorial on how to do so? even a 'virtual pc' type of thing?

thanks in advance,
Jm7o

Are you sure it's not just a Windows installer for a normal Treo app?

There is no way to run a desktop Windows application on any Treo as far as I know. TazUk's question is a good one.
