Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to the device at the factory are stored in ROM (Read-Only
Memory). You cannot remove the programs and you will never accidentally
lose ROM contents. All other programs and data files added to the device
after factory installations are stored in the memory.
You can install any program created for the device as long as the device has
enough memory. The most popular place to find software for the device is on
the Pocket PC web site (http://www.pocketpc.com).
Adding Programs
To Add Programs Using ActiveSync
You will need to install the appropriate software for the device on your
desktop computer before installing it on the device.
1. Determine the device and processor type so that you know which version
of the software to install. Tap Settings System About and
make a note of the information in Processor.
2. Download the program to your desktop computer or, if you have a CD or
disk containing the program, insert the CD or disk into your desktop
computer. You might see a single *.xip, *.exe *.zip file, a Setup.exe file
or several versions of files for different device types and processors. Be
sure to select the program designed for the device and its processor type.
3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files or documentation that
comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation
instructions.
4. Connect the device and desktop computer.
5. Double-click on the *.exe file.
If the file is an installer, the installation wizard begins. Follow the
on-screen instructions. Once the software has been installed on your
computer, the installer automatically transfers the software to the
device.
