Usually, the process of uninstalling programs on your Pocket PC will go smoothly but not always. For those times when it doesn't there are two approved methods for uninstalling:

• Go to Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs on your Pocket PC and select the program(s) you want to uninstall, and then tap Remove.

• Or, connect your Pocket PC to your desktop PC via ActiveSync, go to Tools > Add/Remove Programs in ActiveSync on the desktop, uncheck the program(s) you want uninstalled, and then click OK. (To remove a program from both your Pocket PC and your desktop PC, highlight the program and click Remove.)

On those times when an uninstallation process hangs up, with or without an error message, try this

First, make sure the program is really closed on your Pocket PC by going to Start > Settings > System > Memory > Running Programs, selecting the program from the window if it appears there, and tapping Stop. If the Pocket PC is connected to the desktop, disconnect it. Then perform a soft reset on the Pocket PC (see manufacturer's instructions it differs slightly from one model to another). Now try the uninstallation process again. Most times this little trick will help the process will finish smoothly.
