Setting the “Memory Stick” automatic start
function (MS Autorun)

This chapter explains how to set the “Memory Stick”
automatic start function on your CLIE handheld.
When you want to start an application in the “Memory
Stick” media from home screen, refer to the Operating
Instructions manual.

Chapter 3

What you can do with the MS Autorun
application

“Memory Stick” Autorun (hereafter referred to as MS Autorun) is an
add-on application which allows your CLIE handheld to copy and
start a specified application automatically when “Memory Stick”
media is inserted into the CLIE handheld. Removing the “Memory
Stick” media automatically deletes the application copy from the
memory of the CLIE handheld. MS Autorun functions as virtual
memory to effectively utilize the memory of the CLIE handheld.

Starting an application (.prc) on the CLIE handheld automatically

When you use a digital still camera that is compatible with “Memory
Stick” media, you can view your images by inserting the “Memory
Stick” media into the CLIE handheld. In this example, you would use
the auto-run setting to start the PictureGear Pocket application on your
CLIE handheld.

Starting an application (.prc) in a “Memory Stick” media
automatically

This setting is for automatically starting an application which does not
access any data, such as game applications, or an application which
accesses data in the CLIE handheld (not in the “Memory Stick” media).

Starting a pre-selected application (.prc) and related database
files (.pdb, .prc) in a “Memory Stick” media*

This setting automatically displays a specific image or file with an
application such as an image viewer or a document reader. You need
to specify an application and the related database files before using
this auto-run setting.

Starting an application (.prc) on the CLIE handheld automatically
with specific database files (.pdb, .prc) from a “Memory Stick”
media*

This setting is used when the application is located on the CLIE handheld
and the corresponding database files are located on a “Memory Stick”
media. You can also display the desired data automatically by inserting
the “Memory Stick” media into your CLIE handheld.

* If you specify PictureGear Pocket as an auto-run application, tap the arrow V

on the top center of the screen in PictureGear Pocket to select “MS.” Likewise,
if you specify gMovie player as an auto-run application, tap the movie file you
want to play.

38

Notes

• We do not recommend using MS Autorun with the Address Book, Date Book,
To Do List, Memo Pad, Calculator or Mail applications. Problems may occur if
the data of these applications do not reside on your CLIE handheld when you
perform a HotSync operation.

• The specified application may not start automatically depending on the
application in use when you insert the “Memory Stick” media into your CLIE
handheld. In this case, return to the home screen, and then insert the Memory
Stick media again.

You do not have to install MS Autorun on your CLIE
handheld
