Explore the HP Jornada Handheld PC compact disc to enjoy these free software programs. For more information about a particular program, go to the Web site of the manufacturer of that program.

Many other useful programs are available from the Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada. Hewlett-Packard does not support the use of programs that have not been certified by Microsoft.

Typically, you install software to your H/PC by first loading the installation files onto your desktop PC, as described in the following procedure.

If a program is designed for direct installation, you may be able to download or install the program from the Web to your HP Jornada. The Web site should provide instructions for installing the program.

To install software

1.Download the software program or installer from the Web to your desktop PC.

Insert the floppy disk or compact disc into the appropriate drive on your desktop PC.

If the program does not have an associated installer or setup program, drag the program file (typically an *.exe file type) to the HP Jornada icon in the Mobile Devices window. If the No converter selected dialog box appears, click OK to copy the file without conversion.
