3. Connect your handheld to the computer, and follow one of these options:
• If you have ActiveSync installed on your computer (typically Windows XP or older), when the ActiveSync icon in the lower right corner of your screen turns green, right click on the ActiveSync icon and select Explore. This will display an explorer window on your computer of the file system of your attached device. Make sure that the explorer window shows the My Documents folder of the handheld.
• If you have Sync Center installed on your computer (typically Windows Vista or Windows 7), when the green SyncCenter icon appears in the lower right corner of the screen, right click the icon, select Open Sync Center, right click on your handheld in the Devices section of the Sync Center window and select Open Windows Mobile Device Center, then hover the mouse pointer over the File Management section and click on Browse the contents of your device when it appears.

4. Drag the CAB file saved to your desktop in step 2 above to the explorer window opened in step 3. This will copy the CAB file to your device.
5. On the device, go into the File Explorer (Start > Programs > File Explorer icon). By default, the program should open up to the My Documents (shown right below the top bar of the screen), if it does not tap the location shown to open a menu, select My Device, then in the folder list that results, tap My Documents.
6. Tap on the basketball.wm cab file that you copied onto the device. This should unpack the cab file on the device and install the software. Make sure that, if the process asks to install on a storage card or on internal memory, that you choose internal memory. Also, if the device wants to do a reset of the device after the install is complete, make sure to allow the reset.

After this process, the Statware Basketball v6.0 application should be correctly installed on your device.
