version of the software to install.
Tap

make a note of the information in Processor.

using Pocket Internet Explorer. You may see a single *.xip, *.exe, or
*.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 your
Pocket PC processor type.

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

If the application you have installed is not for Windows Mobile 2003
Second Edition, the program may not display properly.
Adding Programs to the Start Menu
Tap
> Settings > Menus > the Start Menu tab, and then the check box
for the program. If you do not see the program listed, you can either use File

use ActiveSync on your PC to create a shortcut to the program and place
the shortcut in the Start Menu folder.
Using File Explorer on your Pocket PC—Tap
Explorer, and locate the program (tap the folder list, labeled My
Documents by default, and then Local Device to see a list of all folders
on your Pocket PC). Tap and hold the program, and tap Cut on the
pop-up menu. Open the Start Menu folder located in the Windows
folder, tap and hold a blank area of the window, and tap Paste on the
