Adding Or Removing Programs - Toshiba 2032SP Online User's Manual

Adding or Removing Programs

Programs installed on your device at the factory are stored on ROM (read-
only memory) and cannot be removed or accidentally lost. ROM
programs can be updated using special installation programs with a *.xip
extension. Any programs and files added after factory installation are
stored in RAM (random access memory). As long as you have enough
memory, you can install any program created for your device. To find
software for your device, visit the Pocket PC website at
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc.
Note:
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.
