Why can't I uninstall Microsoft Reader and install the new version
on my Windows Mobile device?
If your version of Microsoft Reader is installed in ROM (which means it was
preinstalled by the manufacturer), you cannot uninstall Microsoft Reader. You
can, however, install a RAM version of the program.
To ensure you've got the new version of Microsoft Reader on your Windows Mobile
device, follow these steps:
- Tap the Start menu, then Settings.
- Choose the System tab, and select Remove Programs.
-
Highlight "Microsoft Reader." Tap Remove to uninstall Microsoft
Reader. If Microsoft Reader does not appear in this list, your version is
installed in ROM: you may continue through the rest of these steps.
-
Visit the
Windows Mobile
download page
to download the latest version of Microsoft Reader.
-
When prompted, indicate that you'd like to install Microsoft Reader. You'll
need to confirm this option on your PC and on your Windows Mobile. Be sure the
device is cradled when you run the installation program.
-
While your device is cradled, visit the
activation
pages
to activate your Windows Mobile: sign in, then choose Activate my
Pocket PC.
