TIP: A CF card programmed for the processor in an Aero will not run Pocket-Situ in an
iPAQ, and vice-versa. Indications: Pocket-Situ does not appear on the Start Menu, or you
get the message "Pocket-Situ is not a valid Windows CE application." In this case, go to
our web site at www.in-situ.com, click on the Downloads page, select Pocket-Situ, and
follow the instructions to install the version required by your Pocket PC processor.
