Bible Software for Windows CE and Palm Computing Connected Organizers from Laridian
What Kind of Device Do I Have?

NOTE: If you have a device that runs Windows CE 3.0, you can't depend strictly on the version number to know which version of our product to buy. Look at your device and the box it came in. It will most likely be called a Pocket PC. Then read the following very carefully to determine exactly what you have.

Our programs which run under the Microsoft Windows CE operating system come in three versions:

  • Programs for Pocket PCs running CE 3.0 up to and including Windows Mobile 5.
  • Programs for Handheld PC 2000 devices running CE 3.0.
  • Programs for Windows CE 2.x devices known as Handheld PC (HPC), Handheld PC Pro (HPC Pro) and Palm-size PC (PPC).

You need to select the appropriate version of our software based on the type of device that you have:

  • If you have a Pocket PC (including the original Pocket PC up to and including Windows Mobile 5), you need the Pocket PC version of our software.
  • If you have a Handheld PC 2000, you need the HPC 2000 version of our software.
  • If you have a Palm-size PC, you need the CE 2.x version of our software.
  • If you have a Handheld PC Professional, you need the CE 2.x version of our software.
  • If you have a Handheld PC, you need the CE 2.x version of our software.
  • If you have a Palm organizer, a Sony Clie, or a Handspring Visor, then you don't need our Windows CE software at all. You need our software for Palm Connected Organizers. Click here and select the Palm side of the Web site.
  • If you have a Casio BE-300 Pocket Manager, you cannot use our software. The Casio BE-300 does not include the system features that our products require.

Not Sure What You Have?

If you aren't sure which of these you have, then:

  1. Look at the front of your device. It may have a label that says "Pocket PC", "Handheld PC Pro", "Palm-size PC", etc.
  2. Check the box, packaging material, and User's Guide included with your mobile computer. Most will include the terminology "Pocket PC", "Handheld PC Professional", "Palm-size PC", etc., to identify your device.

Still Not Sure What You Have?

If you're still not sure what kind of Windows CE computer you have, then does your device look like a laptop or a mini-laptop, with a screen and a keyboard?

  • Yes, it looks like a small laptop. Then you have a Handheld PC (HPC), Handheld PC Professional (HPC Pro), or a Handheld PC 2000 (HPC 2000). Now choose Start | Settings, then System. In the resulting dialog, look for the Windows CE Version or the Core System Version. This information will appear on the General or System tab. What is the version?
    • 2.0? Then you have a Handheld PC, and need the CE 2.x version of our software.
    • 2.11 or 2.12? Then you have a Handheld PC Professional, and need the CE 2.x version of our software.
    • 3.0? Then you have a Handheld PC 2000, and need the HPC 2000 version of our software.
  • No, it does not look like a small laptop. Then you have a Pocket PC or a Palm-size PC. Does your Windows CE computer have a Start button in the lower left corner of the screen?
    • Yes? Then you have a Palm-size PC and need the CE 2.x version of our software.
    • No? Then you have a Pocket PC and need the Pocket PC version of our software. You can tell it's a Pocket PC because it doesn't have a Start button, doesn't have a real keyboard, and displays its program menus on the bottom of the screen instead of the top as in desktop Windows applications.
(There are a few industrial models that don't follow these rules. However, if you have one of these exceptions, then you probably already know what you have.)
