Please help me. I bought a new palm today. It's one of the high end ones that has wifi and everything. The CD will not auto run in my computer! it just opens wordpad with the following garbage in it. I'm not very computer savy, I just want to be able to install the software so I can get my calendar on the go and look up webpages in the courthouse.

Looks like they tried to run an html and java based installer. That's a new one on me, but to install the software just go to my computer, double click the cd drive that has the disk in it, and look for something like "setup" or "install." ETA: I win by seven seconds! |
The auto run file is what gives me the html code. (I learn fast). I have about 20 folders each with subfolders in the CD and the install.exe's give me more html code. I get the feeling there should be a program to run which wiull autoconfigure these settings for me. *sigh*
