Adding and Removing Programs

Some programs are already installed in the ROM when you received your device. You cannot remove these programs or accidentally lose the ROM contents. You can update ROM programs using installation programs with the *.pku extension. You can save data to either ROM or RAM.

You can install any program created for your device, as long as your device has sufficient memory. The most popular place to find software for your device is on the Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ Version 5.0 software for Pocket PC Premium Edition website: www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile.

Adding Programs Using Microsoft®

Before installing software on your device, you need to install ActiveSync on your computer. See ActiveSync Help on your computer for more information.

1Determine your device and processor type so that you know which version of the software to install:

a Tap Start Settings.

b On the System tab, tap About.

c From the Version tab, record the processor information.

2Download the software to your computer (or insert the Getting Started CD or floppy that contains the software into your computer). You may see a single *.exe, *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors. Ensure that you select the program designed for the Pocket PC and your device processor type.

3Read any installation instructions, readme files, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
