Introduction to Your Palm V™ Organizer

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 
the cradle.
