ROM Upgrade
1. Do the ROM upgrade on a computer that has MS Active sync 4.1 installed, or install on your desktop before proceeding to step 2.

2. Sync all data you want saved (contacts, tasks, appointments, calendar, and files). Because the ROM update us like doing a hard reset. And note the device name of your PPC6700 as you will need to know this when u restore these things. You can check the device name by going to start/settings/system/about/device id.

3. Go through and turn OFF firewalls(even windows firewall), virus, and spy ware programs. Also make sure you change your screensaver and energy saver program so that they do not come on during installation, because this can cause problems when upgrading.
