HandyCards/Pocket PC Upgrade Instructions
Users of previous versions of HandyCards/WinCE or HandyCards/PocketPC can upgrade to the new version of HandyCards/PoPC very easily and at a 25% discount off of the current price of $19.95, for a final upgrade price of $14.95.  Want to see the new features in this upgrade to HandyCards?  Click here.

If you already have a version of HandyCards/PocketPC installed on your Pocket PC device, the first step MUST be to uninstall the old version.  To do this, click on your Start button, then click Settings, and then click the System tab on the bottom of the screen.  Locate the Remove Programs icon and click it to load the Remove Programs program.  Locate HandyMed HandyCards on the list, select it, and then click the Remove button.  Most likely you will see an error indicating not all files could be removed.  On this error screen, you will see where your program was located (e.g. on your storage card or main memory).  Using your Pocket PC's File Explorer program, locate the folder where the error mentioned you have other HandyMed files and then, unless your testing data files reside in that folder, delete that folder.  All done!  (whew!)

It is recommended that you perform a soft reset prior to installing the new version of HandyCards.  Please consult your device's owner's manual to ensure you are not performing a hard reset, which completely erases your device and causes the loss of all information.  Next, download the new version of HandyCards from this link.  Install HandyCards by running the newly-downloaded file.  Finally, purchase HandyCards using the appropriate upgrade price link from the HandyMed Purchase page.

Thank you for your continued interest in HandyCards!
