Windows CE Overview
This section describes the operation of the Allegro using Microsoft ™
Windows ™ CE, a new operating system that has a similar look and feel
to Windows 98/NT. Windows CE is designed for small, portable hand-
held computers like the Allegro. Windows CE gives the Allegro the
ability to communicate and share information with Windows-based
computers and the internet using ActiveSync. (Note: The Allegro
communicates with Windows-based computers in DOS also.)
❏ Windows CE offers the following advantages:
❏ Compact operating system and application file sizes
❏ Advanced power management
❏ Communication flexibility
❏ Graphic user interface similar to Windows 98/NT
❏ Packaged programs, including PTab Spreadsheet, Pocket Word,
and Internet Explorer
❏ Multiple applications can run simultaneously
Windows CE has the same Windows interface you are familiar with if
you have used Windows 95/98/NT. You will find that you already have
much of the knowledge you need to use Windows CE 3.0 effectively.
This section of the manual was written with the assumption that you
have a working knowledge of Windows.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Starting Windows CE
When you first turn the Allegro on, it boots to Windows CE. It takes a
minute for the Desktop to appear and remain on the display. Various
screens appear during the boot process that do not require any action. If
you have installed a PC card, you are asked whether or not you want to
run the card on battery power. Tap on Yes or No.
