INSTALLING MICROSOFT PORTRAIT
=======================================

Please first download Windows Installer 2.0

from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=32831

if you are using Windows 98, or Windows ME;

Or from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=32832

if you are using Windows 2000, and install it to your PC. The installation of PC, Pocket PC and Handheld PC versions of Microsoft Portrait needs the support of Windows Installer.

As the download database may change, if you do not find Windows Installer from the above link or you want to look for the latest version of Windows Installer, you can also go to Microsoft Download Center

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp?

Search using: Keyword Search, input Windows Installer as Keywords and select the operating system of your PC, then click Find It!

Please download Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 from

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx

and install it to your PC. After the installation process in your PC is completed, Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 will synchronize Microsoft Portrait for Pocket PC to your Pocket PC.

Version 1.2 or above enables two-way video conferencing on Pocket PCs with built-in or plug-in camera and a network connection for the first time in the world. This means with Microsoft Portrait, a Pocket PC can not only display received video, but also capture and send video in real-time.

To install, or re-install, Microsoft Portrait for Pocket PC and Handheld PC, execute the installation file in your PC, to which your Pocket PC or Handheld PC links.

The installation process will copy some files to a directory in your Pocket PC and place a shortcut in the Start Programs menu of your Pocket PC or Handheld PC.
