Step 2: Install Windows CE Services
Windows CE Services is the software that allows you to

IMPORTANT:
Before installing this software, be sure your computer
meets the minimum configuration requirements listed earlier in
this chapter.
1. Insert the Microsoft CD into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
(If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, see
“Ordering Software on Diskette” for information on obtaining
Windows CE diskettes.)
2. Follow the instructions included with the CD and on the
computer screen to install Windows CE Services and other
