 and make a note of the information in Processor. 

2.  Download the program to your desktop computer or, if you have a CD or disk 

containing the program, insert the CD or disk into your desktop computer. You 
might see a single *.xip, *.exe *.zip file, a Setup.exe file or several versions of 
files for different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program 
designed for the Pocket PC and your Pocket PC processor type. 

3.  Read any installation instructions, Read Me files or documentation that 

comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation 
instructions.

Pocket PC.

If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the 
program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You 
will need to move this file to your Pocket PC. If you cannot find any 
installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or 
documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the 
Program Files folder on your Pocket PC. For more information on 
copying files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help. 

NOTE: You can also use Pocket Internet Explorer to download some programs from the 

Internet directly to your Pocket PC if your Pocket PC is connected to Internet. 

 
Once installation is complete, tap   Æ 

 and tap the program icon to 

switch to it.
