Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to your Pocket PC at the factory are stored in ROM
(read-only memory). You cannot remove this software, and you’ll never
accidentally lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated using
special installation programs with a *.xip extension. All other programs
and data files added to your Pocket PC after factory installation are
stored in RAM (random access memory).
You can install any program created for your Pocket PC, as long as your
Pocket PC has enough memory. The most popular place to find software
for your Pocket PC is on the Pocket PC Web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc).
If you update ROM programs using special installation programs with a
*.xip extension, do not use the backup data which you made before
updating ROM programs.
To add programs using ActiveSync:
You’ll need to install the appropriate software for your Pocket PC on your
desktop computer before installing it on your Pocket PC.
1. Determine your Pocket PC and processor type so that you know
which version of the software to install. Tap
and then Settings. On
the System tab, tap About. In the Version tab, make a note of the
information in Processor.
2. Download the program to your desktop computer (or insert the CD or
disk that contains the program into your desktop computer). You may
see a single *.xip, *.exe, or *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several
versions of files for different Pocket PC types and processors. Be sure
to select the program designed for the Pocket PC and your Pocket PC
processor type.
