Setting Up Your Computer for Synchronization

Before you can synchronize, the desktop sync software must be installed. You must install the software that came with your Treo Pro smartphone, even if you already have a previous version of the desktop sync software installed on your computer.

Before You Begin

If you are installing the software on a computer at work, make sure your company allows you to install new software. Contact your company’s IT department for help.

System Requirements

Your computer must meet the following minimum system requirements:

Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista (later versions may also be supported).

32MB of available memory (RAM).

170MB of free hard disk space.

Available USB port.

USB cable (included with your smartphone).

Internet connection.

Installing Desktop Sync Software: Windows XP and Windows Vista

When your smartphone is in Setup Mode and is connected to your computer with the USB cable, it automatically starts the process of setting up your computer to synchronize with your smartphone. If you have a Windows XP computer, the desktop sync software is called ActiveSync desktop software. If you have a Windows Vista computer, the desktop sync software is called Windows Mobile Device Center. On your Treo Pro smartphone, the sync application is called ActiveSync. The Treo Pro smartphone setup program recognizes whether you have a Windows XP or Windows Vista computer and automatically directs you to install the correct software.
