32MB of available memory (RAM).

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.

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.
