Unknown Sources

I am trying to download a file from internet and the phone is saying this is blocked because its not a "Market App". When I consult the user guide it says to go to Home screen and press the four square and press settings>App's and mark unknown sources check mark. I dont see anything anywhere in apps for unknown sources? PlEASE HELP!

I like to see someone with dogged determination. My hubby says I'm a bit OCD cos I won't let things go.  Well done on trying to help out.  Hadn't thought about the slideme app altho I do recommend it to people without Android Market at all.

Hope it helps cos the Sideload thing from what I have read is as buggy as heck.  I'm over on AndroidForums too and people are having the same problem.  So if slideme works, report back so I can pass on the good news!

My wife says the same about me. I guess if I bitch enough someone will find out what to do! I tried the sideloader app, and low and behold it downloaded it to the phone ,but when you go to open it, it says its unauthorized and won't go any further.  From what I have found out so far, its not Android, its At&T that has the block on these phone. Just another way to control us!!! Thanks Jimmy Z.
