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.

If you are installing from diskettes (rather than the CD-ROM
included in the box), make sure the original Palm Desktop
software diskettes are write-protected, and then make backup
copies of them. When you finish, use the copies to install the
software, and store the original diskettes in a safe place. Refer to
your computer’s manual or operating system documentation if
you need information about locking or copying diskettes.
■
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 such as Microsoft Office, and 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. 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 organizer into
