DESCRIPTION: Contains a fix for the host PC running Windows 2000 or NT 4.0 that allows a 
first time SERIAL connection for Activesync to be made to one of the iPAQ models for H3100
or H3600 Series Pocket PCs.

The fix forces Activesync to look at COM1 for these iPAQ Pocket PC models.  If a different 
COM port is being used, it then allows the user to choose the proper port.

       NOTE: This fix is not needed for a USB connection or for Serial connections where
             Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME is running on the host PC.

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.
   The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable 
   with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 
   Entering "Space Bar" to confirm the unpacking of files creates a
   new directory folder in the download directory. All files are
   unpacked into this newly created directory.

3. Follow the instructions below for setup: 
	-Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and remove Microsoft Activesync.
	-Reinstall Activesync from the CD provided with the Ipaq.  At the Get Connected Screen, 
         Click on Cancel.  You will get a message that "Your mobile device has not set up a 
         connection with this computer."  Click OK.
	-Execute CPQSETCOM.exe in the newly created directory from step 2
	-Click OK to set COM1 in the registry keys.
	-Restart Activesync and connect your iPAQ PocketPC to the SERIAL cable/cradle.

	 NOTE: If the COM port you are using is not COM1, under File and Connection Settings 
               of Activesync choose the appropriate COM port from the drop down menu.

4. You may delete the self-extracting file downloaded in step 1 if you wish.

5. After the installation is completed, you may delete the directory created 
   in step 2 if you wish.
