I just send the .jar file from the computer to the phone via Bluetooth. The phone then asks if I want to put it in 'Games' or 'Applications'. Works fine...
Are you doing it by Bluetooth or cable?

Its really easy with the USB cable.
You must install the SE PC suite first from the CD that came with the phone. Then, start up the SE File Manager app.
Now, connect the phone to the pc using the cable. The file manager should detect the phone as connected.
Now, browse the phone, and copy and paste the game file in this location, do not try to paste it inside the PHONE MEMORY folder.
Now, on your K750i the phone will say:
SAVE IN: GAMES ? / APPLICATIONS
Simply save the game where you want and it'll automatically install itself, ready to play.

Java games must always be in one file - .jar - since mobile Java games can't read any files outside of their own .jar archive. (for some mobiles two files - a .jad and a .jar - k750i doesn't need the .jad, though).
.jar is simply a pkzip compressed archive (basically, it's just a .zip renamed to .jar), which contains all the files needed for the game or application to run. Hence, if you see a lot of files, including a folder called META-INF, it's because you're really looking at the contents of that .jar file - by having opened it in WinZip or whatever. |

if you are using winrar (or other archive file) you will be able to see the files IN the Jar file,
all you need is to copy the .jar (and sometimes .jad as well) to the computer.

First make sure your PC is set to display file extensions tools>folder options>view in your comp folder.
Now hover your mouse over the games file, if it lists a ton of files then just rename it from gametitle.zip to gametitle.jar. However, if when hovering the mouse over the file it says gametitle.jar (it might say there's a gametitle.jad too) then it need unzipping, once unzipped just send the .jar to your phone. |

try dragging the .jar file (game) into the Other folder. after dragging it, unplug the cable from your phone then open the File Manager and check the Other folder. Click Install. |

I've just worked it out! *yippee*
You can copy the .jar file into the 'other' folder in the memory stick without an error message and then install it.
The folder destination should be '..\MSSEMC\Media files\other'
The only difference is that the game will be stored on the memory stick instead of the phone memory.
After that remember to remove your USB cable and you can play.
