Windows CE

I am new to WIndows CE.  I received an HP 360 LX PalmTop PC from a collegue at work.  I am attempting to install the drivers for a Linksys WPC11 wireless PCMCIA card.  I have copied over the executable that I downloaded from the Liksys site.  When I double click the exe to install the driver and utility I get the following error.
'wpc11forwince' is not a valid Windows CE Application.  

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

The driver is not for Windows CE from Linksys.  Download link for the correct driver is http://www.cewindows.net/peripherals/pccardwirelesslan.htm

Look down on the page midway.

Ok I have the correct driver but when I go to install I get the following error on my CE.  "\Windows\MFCCE20.DLL" is in use or is in ROM.  If the file is not in ROM, please close the application using the file.  


If I click try again it just shows the same dialog box again.  If I choose no or cancel it exists the installation.  Any ideas?

I am assuming you have done a restart of the device?

Yes.  I went ahead and stuck the card in.  I am now being prompted for a driver name?

I think the min version supported is 2.11 by the driver.

Do you know if it is possible to upgrade to 2.11?

I think you can upgrade to ver 3.0.   I have not done one so I don't know what all the steps are.

This should get up up to version 2.2   I hope it works for you but this is one of those hard nuts to crack.   I don't know how to upgrade to Version 3 or higher.

I appreciate it, but this is the download for the Sycronizing software not an OS upgrade.

Strange.   That what the info leads me to believe.
