Palm Treo 800W User Manual page 47

Before You
Begin
1. Close any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those
running in the background. (Your computer must have all its resources available before
you can install the software.)
2. Insert the Getting Started CD for Palm Treo 800w smart device into the CD drive on your
computer.
3. Follow the installation instructions that appear on your computer. (When offered the
option to set up synchronization with an Exchange server, select No. See "Setting Up
Wireless Synchronization" on page 308 for instructions on synchronizing with a server.)
4. Connect your Treo to your computer to sync for the first time (see "Synchronizing With a
USB Connection" on page 50).
Tip
Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center: Windows Vista
If you have a Windows Vista computer, the desktop sync software is called Windows Mobile
Device Center. The Getting Started CD for Palm Treo 800w smart device recognizes that you
have a Windows Vista computer, and directs you to install Windows Mobile Device Center (if it
is not already on your computer). On your Treo, the sync application is called ActiveSync.
Section 1C: Connecting to Your Computer
Do the following:
• 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.
• If you want to sync pictures, videos, and music from your Windows
Media Library, you must install Windows Media Player 10 or later
before you install ActiveSync desktop software.
During software installation, you can select an option to synchronize email,
contacts, calendar events, and tasks directly with your information stored on
a server running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2003
upgraded to Service Pack 2. If you choose this option, you are prompted to
enter your mail server address and domain name and your Exchange server
account username and password.
