Getting Help With Third-Party Applications

If you encounter a problem, such as an error message, with a third-party application, contact
the application’s author or vendor. For general troubleshooting of third-party applications, see
“Third-Party Applications” on page 373.

Make sure that the third-party application supports 320 x 320 screen resolution. Some older
applications have screen-size limitations. Third-party applications should also be written for
Windows Mobile version 6.1 or later. Programs written for earlier versions may not support
5-way navigation or softkeys and can have performance problems.

Tip

Before purchasing a third-party program, try the free version (if available) to
make sure the program works properly with Windows Mobile 6.1 and your
Treo.
