Basic Skills

To add programs using ActiveSync

You'll need to install the appropriate software for your device on your

computer before installing it on your device.
1. Determine your device 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 computer (or insert the CD or disk that

contains the program into your computer). 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 the Toshiba Pocket PC e400 and your device processor

type.

3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that

comes with the program.

Many programs provide special installation instructions.

4. Connect your device and computer.
5. Double-click the *.exe file.

If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the

directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on your

computer, the installer will automatically transfer the software to your

device.

If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that

the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer.

You will need to move this file to your device. If you cannot find any

installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or

documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the

Program Files folder on your device. For more information on copying

files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.

Once installation is complete, tap

, Programs, and then the program

icon to switch to it.
