    Browsing the Web or your intranet with Microsoft 
    Internet Explorer 4.01 for H/PC 
    You can use MS Internet Explorer for H/PC to browse the Web or 
    your corporate intranet with your HP Jornada. Internet Explorer 
    allows you to view Web sites directly on your HP Jornada, 
    download forms from your corporate intranet and save them for 
    later use, or save your favorite online news page to read later 
    when you are offline. 
    After you have set up an online connection with your ISP or your 
    network account, you are ready to dial up and start browsing the 
    Web or your intranet. You can set Internet Explorer to 
    automatically dial a connection you create whenever you start it. 
    If you have not yet created an ISP or network connection, you 
    must set up a service provider before you can browse the Web. 
    Use either HP dialup or Remote Networking to set up your 
    connection. (If you choose to use Remote Networking, see the 
    Creating connections without HP dialup section in this 
    chapter.)      
     
     
    If you set up the Web service using HP dialup, you can set 
    different Web browsing options and preferences for each 
    connection. The options you set in HP dialup determine how the 
    connection is made and what home and search pages are 
    displayed. 
    To edit or set connection information in MS 
    Internet Explorer for H/PC  
    1.  In Internet Explorer, on the View menu, tap Internet 
    Options. 
    2. On the Connections tab under Auto Dial, tap the Use Auto 
    Dial checkbox. 
    3.  Choose the Dial-Up networking connection to be used. 
    4. Select the Auto Disconnect checkbox if you wish to 
    disconnect automatically from the Internet after a specified 
    period of idle time. 
    5.  If you are required to use a Proxy Server on a network, tap 
    Use Proxy Server and enter the server address.

    6.  Use the other Internet Options tabs to set information 
    such as Default Pages, Cache, History, Security and 
    Advanced features.
     
    7.  When you are finished, tap OK to save the changes. 
     
    If you set up AutoDial in Internet Explorer, you can 
    connect to the Internet simply by starting the program and 
    entering the address of a Web site. (Be sure your telephone 
    line is connected properly first.) If you prefer to dial up 
    independently of Internet Explorer, you may want to clear 
    the AutoDial option. To connect using HP dialup, use the 
    following procedure. 
     
     
    To browse the Web or your company intranet 
    1.  Double-tap the HP dialup icon on your desktop. The HP 
    dialup window appears. 
    2. Select your network service provider and a dialing 
    location from the drop-down boxes. 
    3. Choose the Launch Internet Explorer check box 
    option. 
    4.  Check the telephone number, and then tap Dial. A 
    progress message appears to tell you when you are 
    connected to your ISP, and then an icon appears in the 
    taskbar while you remain connected. 
    5.  Internet Explorer starts up automatically and you are 
    ready to browse the Web or your corporate intranet.  
    						
    							 Chapter 6 | Accessing e-mail | 109 
      
    If you did not use HP dialup to create your connection, you will 
    need to activate the connection you want in Remote 
    Networking. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to 
    Communication, and then tap Remote Networking. In the 
    Remote Networking folder, double-tap the icon of the 
    connection you want. Tap Connect to begin dialing.  
     
    Although it is based upon the outstanding content delivery 
    features of the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser 
    for desktop PCs, Microsoft Internet Explorer for Handheld 
    PC has been specially created to work efficiently on the 
    compact HP Jornada Handheld PC. 
    Most Web animations and graphical elements display well 
    on your HP Jornada, but some third party animations and  
    graphics may appear as a single still frame, or may not 
    appear at all. You may also have difficulty viewing Web 
    pages that require ActiveX controls or plug-ins.  
    For more detailed information on MS Internet Explorer 4.01 
    for H/PC features, settings and customization, see the 
    extensive, online, context-sensitive help files. 
     
    HP ChaiVM brings the Java™ virtual Machine to the Jornada 
    H/PC 
    HP ChaiVM adds Java capability to Internet 
    Explorer 
     
    For users, the ability to view Java applets in Internet Explorer. 
    · HP ChaiVM allows users to experience many web effects 
    written in Java while browsing the Web with Internet 
    Explorer. Many dynamic Java-based web page elements are 
    automatically displayed, adding to the quality of the Web 
    browsing experience. HPs ChaiVM software is included in 
    ROM on your Jornada 700 Series H/PC.  
    						
    							110 HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC 
     
    For developers, an HP embedded Java virtual machine. 
    · HP ChaiVM allows development of custom Java applications 
    for use on the HP Jornada H/PC. ChaiVM is an HP 
    developed virtual machine, compliant with the Java
    ™ Virtual 
    Machine Specification, and tailored specifically for devices 
    like the Jornada H/PC. 
    For more information about HP ChaiVM visit the Chai 
    Web site at http://www.chai.hp.com
    . 
    Using HP ChaiVM with Internet Explorer 
    HP ChaiVM is enabled in Internet Explorer by default. Java 
    applets are automatically displayed in the browser screen for you 
    without any special action required.  
    With HP ChaiVM enabled, a minimum of 16MB of system 
    program memory is required. If necessary, you can adjust 
    memory settings using the System control panel.  
    To open the System control panel, on the Start menu, tap 
    Settings, tap Control Panel, and then tap the System icon. Adjust 
    the slider to change memory allocation settings. (For more 
    detailed information about adjusting memory settings see 
    Managing Memory in chapter 7.) 
    Disabling HP ChaiVM in Internet Explorer 
    Occasionally you may encounter a Web page using Java applets 
    that does not load properly, preventing you from accessing the 
    site or causing Internet Explorer to shut down. Disabling HP 
    ChaiVM may make the site accessible, but you will not be able to 
    view the Java applet. 
    To Disable HP ChaiVM in Internet Explorer 
    1. Tap Start, tap Programs, tap HP Applications, and then 
    double-tap HP ChaiVM. 
    2. Tap Options to open the ChaiVM Options dialog box and 
    uncheck the Enable HP ChaiVM plug-in in Internet 
    Explorer check box. 
    3. Tap OK to save your changes and exit the ChaiVM Options 
    dialog.

    4.  Close HP Chai VM and try Internet Explorer again. 
    Clearing the HP ChaiVM cache 
    Some Java applets cause temporary files to be saved in HP 
    ChaiVM. These files can unnecessarily take up precious storage 
    memory, causing programs to run slowly, or causing the Jornada 
    to freeze. It is a good idea to periodically clear the ChaiVM cache 
    to remove these unwanted files and free up the memory they 
    consume. 
    To clear the cache in HP Chai VM 
    1. Tap Start, tap Programs, tap HP Applications, and then 
    double-tap HP ChaiVM. 
    2. Tap Options to open the ChaiVM Options dialog box. 
    3. Tap Clear Cache to remove all ChaiVM temporary files. 
    4. Tap OK to exit the ChaiVM Options dialog and then close 
    HP ChaiVM.

    Many other useful programs are available from the Hewlett-
    Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada
    . Hewlett-Packard does 
    not support the use of programs that have not been certified by 
    Microsoft. 
    Typically, you install software to your H/PC by first loading the 
    installation files onto your desktop PC, as described in the 
    following procedure. 
    If a program is designed for direct installation, you may be 
    able to download or install the program from the Web to your 
    HP Jornada. The software developers Web site should provide 
    instructions for installing the program. 
     
    To install software 
    1.  Look for programs that are compatible with the HP 
    Jornadas StrongARM SA111X processor. 
    Be sure to choose only programs that have been designed for 
    your HP Jornadas StrongARM SA111X processor. 
     
     
    2.  Download the program to your desktop computer 
    —or— 
    insert the CD or floppy disk that contains the program.

    program, drag the program file (typically an *.exe file type) 
    to the My Handheld PC icon in the Mobile Device window. 
    5.  If prompted by the installer, perform a soft reset of your 
    H/PC. For more information, see the Resetting section 
    in chapter 8. 
     Install software by dragging the program file to the Mobile 
    Device window only if no installer program is available. 
    Software installed in this way may not appear on the Remove 
    Programs list, and you may have to manually delete the 
    program if you wish to remove it from your HP Jornada 
    After you have installed a program on your HP Jornada, you can 
    use the ActiveSync Add/Remove Programs tool to remove the 
    program or to reinstall the program after it has been removed. If 
    you do not have enough storage memory on your HP Jornada, you 
    may want to use Add/Remove Programs to temporarily remove 
    programs you no longer use or programs that you use 
    infrequently. 
    To add or remove programs with Add/Remove 
    Programs 
    1.  Connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC, and then 
    open the ActiveSync window. 
    2. On the Tools menu in the ActiveSync window, click 
    Add/Remove Programs. 
    3.  In the list of programs, activate the check box next to the
