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 organizer in the cradle yet; you do that later in the process.
■ If you install from diskettes, make sure the original Palm Desktop
software diskettes are write-protected, and then make backup
copies of them. When you finish, install using the copies.
■ Do not simply copy the Palm Desktop software files to your
computer’s hard disk. You must use the installer 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 (or insert the diskette labeled Setup into the
diskette drive).
3. Click the Install button to begin the installation program.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
During installation you will be asked to insert your organizer into
the cradle.
