Installing Palm Desktop software
The following instructions guide you through installing Palm
Desktop software. After installation, refer to the online Help in Palm
Desktop software for information about how to use the software.
To ensure a safe and uninterrupted installation of Palm Desktop
software, please do the following before installing:
Turn off your computer and connect the cradle to it. Do not put
the handheld in the cradle yet; you do that later in the process.
Do not simply copy the Palm Desktop software files to your
computer's hard disk. You must use the installation software to
place the files in their proper locations and to decompress the files.
To install Palm Desktop software:
1. Exit any open programs, including those that run automatically at
startup. Disable any virus-scanning software.
2. Insert the Palm Desktop software CD-ROM into the computer's
CD-ROM drive.
3. When the Palm Desktop Installer Menu appears, click the Install
button to begin the installation procedure.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
During installation you will be asked to insert your handheld into
the cradle.
