13.1 Adding and Removing Programs

Before you purchase additional programs for your device, make sure that

they are compatible with your device.

To add programs

Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or disk that

contains the program into your PC).
You may see a single *.exe file, a *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several

versions of files for different device types and processors. Be sure to

only select programs designed for your device and processor type.

2.

Read any installation instructions or documentation that comes with

the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

3.

Connect your device to the PC.

4.

Double-click the *.exe file.

To remove programs

1.

Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Remove Programs.

2.

In the Programs in storage memory list, select the program you

want to remove, and tap Remove.

13.2 Resetting Your Device

Soft reset

Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A soft (or normal) reset

of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all

active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower

than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is

also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is

performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.

To perform a soft reset

Use the stylus to press the RESET

button found at the bottom of your

device. Your device restarts and

displays the Today screen.
