Game not found!

Applications N-Gage
Q. I'm getting 'Error 1: Game not found" when I try and start an N-Gage game! If I persist, the N-Gage client asks me if I wan to delete the game!

A. The N-Gage installation is corrupt, usually because you've been deleting games or game content from the main S60 App Mgr rather than from within the N-Gage client.

To restore normal operation, you'll need to:

  1. re-install N-Gage, by linking through to the N-Gage mobile web site and using the 'Get N-Gage' link. Download the right version for your device and install it over the top. And yes, it takes ages.
  2. delete all your games (none of them will work anyway)
  3. re-install them from the on-device game showroom
  4. if appropriate, start each game and re-enter your game activation codes
And make a note to manage games from within N-Gage next time round!!!
