Problems with incompatible applications
Palm works with developers of third-party add-on applications to ensure the
compatibility of these applications with your new Palm Tungsten T3 handheld.
Some third-party applications, however, may not have been upgraded to be
compatible with your new Palm handheld.
Possible symptoms of incompatible applications include:
■

You can determine whether an incompatible application is causing problems by
deleting the application and then operating your handheld. For instructions on
deleting an application from your handheld, see
After you have deleted the application, try to replicate the operation that created
the error. If removing the application solves your problem, contact the application
developer for a solution.

upgraded from an earlier model of a Palm handheld, perform the following
