Adding or Removing Programs

Programs added to your iPAQ H3000 at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only mem- ory). You cannot remove or modify this software, and you’ll never accidentally lose ROM contents. Programs and data files added to your iPAQ H3000 after factory installation are stored in RAM (random access memory). You can install any program created for your iPAQ H3000, as long as your iPAQ H3000 has enough memory. You can also install a pro- gram to a CompactFlash card inserted into your iPAQ H3000. The most popular place to find software for your iPAQ H3000 is on the World Wide Web.

To add programs

You’ll need to install the appropriate software for your iPAQ H3000 on your computer before installing it on your iPAQ H3000.

1.Download the program to your computer (or insert the CD or disk that contains the program into your computer). You may see a single *.exe file, a *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different iPAQ H3000 types and processors. Be sure to select the program designed for the Pocket PC and your iPAQ H3000 processor type (StrongARM SA-1110).

2.Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

3.Connect your iPAQ H3000 and computer.

4.Double-click the *.exe file.

5.If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on your computer, the installer will auto- matically transfer the software to your iPAQ.

If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You will need to move this file to your iPAQ. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on your iPAQ. For more information on copying files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.

Once installation is complete, tap , Programs, then the program icon to switch to it.

To add a program to the Start menu:

Tap , Settings, Menus, the Start Menu tab, then the check box for the program. If you do not see the program listed, you can either use File Explorer on your iPAQ to move the program to the Start Menu folder or use ActiveSync on the computer to create a short- cut to the program and place the shortcut in the Start Menu folder.
