INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unzip the downloaded file with your favorite Unzip program. In the zip Archive are: The Docs HTML Files and CAB Files and MyContSetup.exe. After Unzipping goto the unzip folder and click on 'MyContSetup.exe' then it should install
(Winzip Should be in Wizard Mode for easiest operation) and a link will be created under Programs in the start menu on the pocket pc . You can move the program to any folder you like after install (Storage Card etc), but you will have to create a new Link.

Installation Note: If you have trouble installing MyContacts make sure all files got extracted from the Zip file Especially the 2 CAB files, MyContacts.INF, MyContSetup.exe, and Setup.ini. If it still wont install you can copy the Cab file from the unzip folder on your PC to your Pocket PC My Documents Folder with ActiveSync Explore Option. Then on your Pocket PC Open Pocket File Explorer and find the cab file and tap it, MyContacts will install and the cab file should automatically delete it self. The Appropriate cab for your machine is if you have an Ipaq or Pocket Pc 2002 machine with an Arm/XScale Processor you should copy the Cab 'MyContacts.sa.CAB', if you have a Casio Machine With Pocket PC 2000 with the Mips Processor you should copy the 'MyContacts.mips.CAB'. (Sorry for the inconvience).

UN-INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

You should be able to remove by going to Settings in start menu then hit System then remove
programs. if not then:
Simply open file explorer and go to the Program Files folder and delete the 'MyContacts.exe' File.
Then Go to the windows folder and then Tap Start Menu then Tap Programs then Highlight
