Use the System applet in the Control Panel to display this dialog box that shows you what processor is in your device. Click picture for a larger image.

As the dialog above shows, the MobilePro 750C uses a MIPS R4000 processor. I need to download the MIPS version of the program. The program is stored in a compressed file that I downloaded to my PC and uncompressed. The result is two files, CAPTCE.EXE and CAPTCE.TXT.

I was unable to read the contents of CAPTCE.TXT. Regardless of whether I used Notepad or Microsoft Word the file contained garbage. When I went to their web site at http://www.oohito.com, Internet Explorer 5 said that it needs to download the Japanese character set files to display the page. You can see enough to find the link to the English version of the page that is at http://www.oohito.com/index_e.htm. I had to hunt around the site to find any information about Capture CE and the documentation link produced the same file that I already downloaded.

At this point I decided to try and figure out how to use program on my own. First, I double-clicked on CAPTCE.EXE and that produced the dialog shown in Figure D. This is not a file that is intended to run on Windows 98. So, it appears that this file is the actual program that will run on my MobilePro. All I should have to do is download the file to the device and run the program.

Here's the error dialog I got when I double-clicked on CAPTCE.EXE. Click picture for a larger image.

My next step was to connect the MobilePro to my desktop computer. After ActiveSync completed synchronizing the data between the device and Outlook, I started up Windows Explorer. Everyone has his or her favorite way of working in Windows Explorer and you can use drag and drop to copy the CAPTCE.EXE file to a folder on your Windows CE-based device. I have found that it is easier for me to use copy and paste.

First, using Explorer, I browsed to the Storage Card folder that represents the compact flash card that I have in my MobilePro. I created My Documents and Program Files folders under Storage Card to store documents and program files. I created a CaptureCE folder to contain the CAPTCE.EXE and CAPTCE.TXT files. Then I browsed to the folder on my desktop where the files were stored, selected the files, clicked on copy, browsed back to the CaptureCE folder and then clicked on paste.

After you paste the files into the folder, you may get a dialog box warning you that the CAPTCE.EXE file cannot be converted. Click on OK to clear the dialog box. When this is done the CaptureCE program is on your device and ready to be used.

Running Capture CE
The next step is to run the program. When you run CaptureCE at first you may think that the program did not run. Take a closer look at the system tray that is located at the bottom right corner of your screen. You should see a small camera icon as shown in Figure E.

As you can see, there's a camera icon in the system tray. Click picture for a larger image.

Now what do you do? To run programs that have icons in the system tray all you need to do is double-tap on the icon. With CaptureCE you only need to tap once on the icon. If the volume is loud enough on your device you will hear what sounds like the shutter of a camera. So, it sounds like something has happened but you have no clue what.
