Chapter 2 — Windows CE .NET
28 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
You can install any program created for your 751G, as long as your 751G
has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your
751G is on the Windows CE .NET web site (msdn.microsoft.com/
embedded/downloads/ce/default.aspx).
Adding Programs Using Microsoft ActiveSync
Install applicable software on your PC before installing it on the 751G.
2 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 or
*.ZIP file, a SETUP.EXE file, or several versions of files for different
751G types and processors. Be sure to select the program designed for
the Windows CE .NET and your 751G processor type.
3 Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or program
documentation. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
4 Connect your 751G and PC.
5 Double-click the *.EXE file.
• If the file is an installer, the installation wizard begins. Follow the
directions on the screen. Once the software is installed, the installer
automatically transfers the software to your 751G.
• If the file is not an installer, an error message stating that the program
is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer is displayed.
Move this file to your 751G. If you cannot find any installation
instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation,
use Microsoft ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the “My
Computer\Program Files” folder on your 751G. For information on
copying files using Microsoft ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.
Once installation is complete, tap Start > Programs, and then the program
icon to switch to it.
1 Determine your 751G and processor type so that you know which
version of the software to install. Tap Start > Settings > Control Panel,
then double-tap the System icon. Note the processor information on the
General tab beneath the Computer heading.
