About the music, did you update your library in Windows Media Player after putting new songs on your card?

As for the game, did you try exploring your Q through Active Sync and deleting the game/files from your PC?

yea i did update my library after putting new songs on my card. and i tried to explore the Q through active sync and i tried to delete the game files but after i disconnect my phone from my computer the files still show up if i turn my phone on and off. i tried deleting the files on my phone after but it said failed, permission denied. i also tried to put songs on my phone after i got rid of a few of the things i couldnt delete before but it woudnt work. before all this i also tried to to a master reset and the files still show. i guess keeping the files on the memory card isnt a big deal but i think its stopping me from putting songs on my phone.

perhaps reformating the card...

May be a long shot here but did you install the game through the PC? Is the game still installed on the PC? If the game wasn't un-installed correctly through the PC then it will keep "installing" --writing files to the card. Make sure you have deleted the game from PC, reboot both, then sync & try to delete the game then. And use File Manager or through Active Sync and make sure there are no file "residue" in the program folders on the card and phone.
I had the same problem with a program that I couldn't get rid of.
May or may not help you but worth a shot

also make sure the game isnt running that could be why you cant delete it go to task manager and end the task if it is running

i tried formatting the card but the files still showed up. i think the card is unformattable or something becuase i tried to format it on my friends phone but that didnt work either it said that the formatting failed. i erased my files on accident before and that is pretty much how this all started.

i didnt install the game through the PC. i tried rebooting my card and the PC but that didnt work either. i feel like im computer illiterate right now or maybe its just my memory card.

It could be. Do you have a card reader you could use? Or maybe start bugging some friends to see if you could borrow one? Let a PC take over with no connection to the phone. If it doesn't format with the PC then it has to be the card. They do go bad.

another solution...if you have no friends or card reader

take the card with you to wal mart and use a display digi cam to fornat it
