Adding or Removing Programs
By default, programs added to your device at the factory are stored in the ROM (read only
memory). You cannot remove these programs, and you will never accidentally lose them.
You can install any other programs created for your device, as long as your device has
enough memory. The most popular web site to find software for Pocket PC Phone devices
is
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc.
To add programs using ActiveSync:
You will need to save the appropriate software to the hard drive of your PC before installing
it on your device.
1. Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or disk that contains the program
into your PC). Be sure that the program is compatible with your Pocket PC Phone before
installing it.
2. Read any installation instruction or documentation that came with the program. Many
programs provide their own installation instructions.
3. Connect your device to a PC.
4. Double click on the program's .exe file.

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 PC,
the installer will automatically transfer the software to your device.

If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the
program is valid but was designed for a different type of PC. You will need
to move this file to your device. If you cannot find any installation
instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, use
the
Explore command in ActiveSync to explore the program file
to the
Program Files folder on your device.
Once installation is completed, tap the
Start menu > Programs > program icon.
