Install only programs designed specifically to run on an hp Jornada personal 
digital assistant and/or a Windows Powered Pocket PC. You cannot run 
programs designed for Windows on your hp Jornada. In addition, you may 
need a version of the program designed specifically for the StrongARM 
processor used by your hp Jornada. 
 
 
Install software to your hp Jornada by first loading the installation files onto

Manager. You can install programs to storage memory (RAM) or to the hp 
safe store folder. 
To install a program using ActiveSync

or disk that contains the program into your desktop computer).

file, or several versions of files for different device types and 
processors. Be sure to select the program designed for the Pocket 
PC and the StrongARM processor. 
2.  Connect your hp Jornada to your desktop PC.

Setup.exe or Install.exe), double-click the installer program on the 
desktop PC. The installer program copies the necessary files to 
your hp Jornada.

If the program does not include an installer, use ActiveSync 
Explore to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on 
your hp Jornada. Refer to the Read Me file or documentation that 
came with the program to be sure you have copied the necessary 
file(s). For more information on copying files using ActiveSync, see 
ActiveSync Help.

download this file to your hp Jornada, and then tap the icon to install the 
program.
