Most files are 350-850kb in size, except the Clinical Medicine Consult, which has all 30 titles in one highly hyperlinked textbook file that takes up 13.5MB of space. These texts can also be read on your desktop or laptop using the same palm/pocketPC file with “iSilo for Windows” (http://www.isilo.com/download/iSiloW32.htm) or using the Free Mobipocket Reader Emulator. See below for further details on the two file types / options.

There are two versions of the text, one for iSilo (.pdb) and one for MobiPocket (.prc), neither reader will read a file from the other version (demo or full).

1. iSilo version of the text: Please purchase from the site you download the demo from. The "iSilo" reader (www.isilo.com) is not free, it is a separate purchase (costs $19, a trial version is in the download, once you pay them, they give you a registration code to unlock it for the full version. You can also use "iSilo for Windows" to read the text on your desktop or iSilo for palm / iSilo for the PPC to read the same file on any PDA you own. The benefit of this version is that you revieve free updates throughout the year and get a significant discount upon renewing your update period.

2. Mobipocket Reader Version (Free reader): for any PDA (palm or PPC), Smartphone and Mobipocket Reader (www.mobipocket.com) for PC (desktop). This reader can be downloaded from almost any PDA site.

To be fair to the distributors, we ask you to please purchase the text from the original site you downloaded the demo.

The purchased version will NEVER expire. In the event of an update, however, the updated version will. Again, the purchased file does not expire. We generally offer a 50% discount (2 years for the price of one) to purchase the next edition of the text (you get another non-expiring text) if you purchase within two years of your past purchase of the text. Purchasers are generally sent an email and notified when your one year is about to expire.

Preamble:

This text is designed as a quick and yet extensive reference for the diagnosis and treatment of the majority of problems that may present in a primary care physician’s practice. It is intended to aid providers in their pursuit of optimal patient care. This book provides concise, quick information that can be used during a busy clinical day with the goal of efficient work-ups, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatments that hopefully leads to well-informed, healthy pt’s, healthy families and a satisfied physician. The information in this guide (the ultimate peripheral brain) has been culled from peer-reviewed articles and manuscripts, key textbooks and review courses published within the last few years. The goal is for these texts is to have 95% of clinical info you need at your fingertips. If you have any pearls, illustrations or knowledge that you wish to add send it to us. If it is good, we will add it and send the update back to you as soon as possible and subsequently include it in further updates. If it is a major contribution, we can prolong your update period. “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” - Albert Einstein

Purpose of the Book:

We believe this is the first and only electronic textbook available that adequately summarizes medical information in a concise and easy to read format. This book is directed at practicing clinicians. It is also useful to residents and medical students doing clinical rotations. It includes differential diagnosis, basic pathophysiology, clinical pearls, physical diagnostic findings as well as evaluations and treatments of a multitude of medical conditions. Our hope is to accumulate and share information that will allow you to practice high quality and cost-effective medicine. This book will also allow primary care physicians to interface with the specialist, and assist in deciding when referral is necessary.

MobiPocket Reader:

For MobiPocket Reader Version: http://www.mobipocket.com/EN/eBooks/PublisherDetails.asp?PublisherID=50

If you do not have the iSilo reader (costs $19 from www.iSilo.com), you may opt to get the FREE MobiPocket Reader. This reader also is very functional, supports hyperlinks and illustrations; however the compression is not as good and thus the file size is slightly larger and updates are not as frequent:

MOBI INSTALL TIPS:

A message about "not having an application compatible with the file". It is usually because the ".prc" extension was somehow lost from the file. The PDA Install Tool uses the file's extension to determine what type of file it is. The assumption is that files with a .prc extension are in the PDA data base format and thus will be installed to the /PDA/Launcher directory. In summary, try renaming the file so that it has a .prc extension and then try to install it again.

INSTALL INFO:

How do I install Mobipocket Reader: Download the Reader as a ZIP package from this page.

Whatever your mobile device, there is a Mobi Reader for it : PalmOs, Windows Mobile, Symbian (Series 60, Series 80, 90, UIQ) and even Blackberry. And if you have a Symbian smartphone, there is a good chance that Mobipocket Reader is already preinstalled!

Unzip and send all .prc files to your with the Hotsync Install Tool. (double-click on each .prc file or drag and drop to the Desktop Install Tool box)

http://www.mobipocket.com/en/Support/default.asp

------------------------ Troublshooting: -----------------------------

After having downloaded eBook, when I double click on it, I get the error message : Unknown file type

Cause:

The Mobipocket eBook file format was not registered correctly on your PC.

Resolution:

To solve this issue, please download and install the Mobipocket Reader for PC on your desktop (http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/DownLoadReaderStep1.asp).

Troubleshooting: Everything needs to be exact with these darn computers!

Step #1: After download, you need to unzip the file (use winzip or other) into a SEPARATE folder. It comes as a zip file. The .pdb document file is in there, you will need to use an unzip utility such as StuffIt Expander, which you can get for free from http://www.aladdinsys.com/ , to extract the files. Then just install the .pdb to your PDA in the same manner that you install other .pdb or .prc files. Then double-click on it to add it to your hotsync.

Next: Install the files on your Handheld: At the Palm desktop software and click the "Install" button.

Or Drag or select the prc and pdb files that you extracted from the zip file to the Install window.

Pocket PC users drag the unzipped file into your "personal folder" which is usually located under "My Documents". HotSync your handheld to your desktop and this will install the files.

#2: One common problem is not having the correct version of iSilo.

The old version (2.58) will not read it, you need the upgraded version.

You need "iSilo". It is a reader used by hundreds of medical texts. It is the only reader supporting hyperlinks, illustrations and compression. It can be downloaded at iSilo.com or any palm/ pocket pc site.

You can check your palm to ensure that both iSilo and the clinical text are both on your palm. The text is read after opening iSilo.

3rd problem may occur:

A message about "not having an application compatible with the file". It is usually because the ".pdb" extension was somehow lost from the file. The Palm Install Tool uses the file's extension to determine what type of file it is. The assumption is that files with a .pdb extension are in the Palm data base format and thus will be installed to the /Palm/Launcher directory. Bring the blinking cursor and select the file, then add the correct extension to the end. In summary, try renaming the file so that it has a .pdb extension and then try to install it again.

Similarly, the “.zip” may get dropped from the file when you download it, making it impossible to unzip it until you simply add the .zip back to the end of the file.

Q: Difficulty Downloading:

A: #1 Most download without any diffuculty. At certain internet usage peak times, you may experience delays as this file is HUGE and thus takes up a lot of bandwidth. There is no alternate site, please be patient.

#2 It could also be either a poor (possibly slow) internet connection (timing out) on your end or possibly you security setting on your browser. It adjusting for the above does not help, you will likely have success using a "borrowed" computer terminal (try downloading from work or at a friends).

#3 Make sure your hotsync is not clogged up with other files to add and that you have enough empty space on your PDA.

*******

Q: Difficulty Installing:

A: #1 Make sure you have unzipped the file (use winzip) into a SEPARATE folder (Make sure you pull the file out of the zipped file and place it in a folder such as "My Documents" before trying to add to your hotsync.). You will need to use an unzip utility such as WINZIP (FREE download at: http://clinicalmedconsult.com/ look at bottom Left of homepage above the counter).

#2 A message about "not having an application compatible with the file" or "file corruption". It is usually because the ".pdb" extension was somehow lost from the file. The PDA Install Tool uses the file's extension to determine what type of file it is. The assumption is that files with a .pdb extension are in the PDA data base format and thus will be installed to the /PDA/Launcher directory. In summary, try renaming the file so that it has a .pdb extension and then try to install it again....just bring your cursor onto the file (select it), then add the ".pdb" to the end.

****

Q: Problems Unzipping: See Unzipping |

A: #1 Does the downloaded file have a ".zip" at the end? Sometimes the .zip get lost from the file during the download, just bring your cursor onto the file (select it), then add the ".zip" to the end, THEN unzip it.

Q: How do I use my memory/expansion card. See Memory Cards |

A: You can use the Palm / PDA Install Tool to install the document to your card during the next HotSync. Or use a memory card reader from your desktop PC to write the document directly to the card. iSilo needs to be on the handheld at least during the period of update installation. Then it can be moved to the card for memory saving. Why this anomaly exists I fail to understand. If the above does not work, you may need to delete and re-install the iSilo, then re-import the clinical medicine consult text file. Copy the file to the /PDA/Programs/iSilo/ directory of the card.

If this does not work, consider that it may be possible that you have a faulty SD card or a faulty connection between the SD card and your device. You do not have enough available free memory on your PDA...try shifting some of it to your memory card. Make sure you are copying the file to the iSilo folder in the My Documents folder, not simply to the the My Document folder.

OTHER: Try RIGHT-clicking on it, go to properties box of the file as see that the content encyrpted or "read only" boxes are not checked.

***

Q: How do I transfer the program to my Pocket PC.

A: If the "Pocket_PC My Documents" directory does not exist on your Windows PC desktop, then you need to enable ActiveSync's File synchronization option. Do this:

1. On your Windows PC, start ActiveSync by double-clicking the ActiveSync icon in the icon tray in the lower right of the task bar. (Put your Pocket PC device in its cradle to create the ActiveSync connection with your desktop computer AND/OR Double-click the ActiveSync icon to get the Microsoft ActiveSync dialog)

2. In the Tools menu, click Options.

3. Check the Files - Synchronized Files icon.

4. Click OK.

The "Pocket_PC My Documents" directory should then be created on your desktop.

You can then open the directory, create the "iSilo" directory within it, and then copy your documents to that directory.

An alternate to step #2 above: In the File menu, click Explore. This gives you an Explorer type interface to the /My Documents directory of your Pocket PC device. NEXT Double-click the iSilo folder. The iSilo folder should have been created by the iSilo installer. NEXT Drag your document from your desktop computer to the iSilo folder of your device. (You should place the Clinical-XXX.pdb file in the "\My Documents\iSilo" directory of your Pocket PC) FINALLY The file is read after opening the iSilo reader on your PDA. Assuming you successfully installed iSilo, go to the Start menu, tap Programs, then tap the iSilo icon. The Clinical -XXX.pdb file should appear in the document list.

For step-by-step instructions with screenshots for installing "iSilo for PPC", please see <http://www.isilo.com/support/howto/InstallPPC/InstallPPC.htm>

***

Q: Hyperlinks not working.

A: You are in "free mode". This has to do with your registration of iSilo. If you have your iSilo registration code, you need to re-enter it. If you have alrready registered iSilo, then simply click the "free mode" box to switch to the registered version, by clicking isilo, then options then mode. If you do not register iSilo™ by the end of the 30-day trial period, iSilo™ automatically converts to free mode, which allows you to continue using iSilo™ without needing to purchase a license but with limited features. At any time while you are using iSilo™ in free mode, you can still re-install the registration code that was sent with the original purchase of iSilo (or if not yet done, purchase a license to convert it to registered mode).

***

Q: I changed the Display to Large, Bold on the font but the font is still too small. Is there a way to make it larger?

A: Within iSilo: In the Display Options, under the Font field, you can change the setting from Relative to Absolute. In Absolute mode, all text will be drawn using the chosen font and will be larger.

***

Q: What if I notice a spelling error?

A: Dew knot trussed yore spell chequer two fined awl yore mistakes.

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pclae.

***

Q: How do I print the text?

A: We do not allow you to copy and paste the material as it is copyright protected. For obvious reasons we cannot allow copying of the text. It is just one giant document and one could copy the entire thing. Unlike other online texts that only allow you to copy a section at a time, this is not possible with the iSilo reader, it is all or none. If you use the MobiReader version, you can copy and print small parts of the text.

iSilo Reader:

You can download the iSilo trial and/or full versions of all the text programs at:

The pocket PC and Palm OS versions of either the iSilo Reader run on the SAME file, you just need the appropriate reader version for your device installed.

If the link gets broken…….just search the site for “clinical medicine consult” or “medical” or “clinical”.

If you choose to use the iSilo reader, you need "iSilo" installed (demo may have been included in the zip file you download) to read these texts. iSilo is a separate program (we get no kickbacks). We use it because iSilo is a reader used by hundreds of medical texts. It is the only reader supporting hyperlinks, illustrations and compression. It can be downloaded at iSilo.com or any palm/pocket-PC site. Once purchased, they send you a registation number for their reader.

Link: http://www.isilo.com/

You can check your Pocket PC/palm to ensure that both iSilo and the clinical text are both on your Pocket PC/palm. The text is read after opening iSilo.

*****Please note that the trial version of iSilo is included in this zip package and that you need to purchase a license for it in order to use it in registered mode beyond the 30-day trial period. You can find instructions for purchasing at the iSilo.com website at <http://www.iSilo.com>". Beyond 30 days, the trial version automatically transitions to "free mode" in which some features such as hyperlinks and images, among others, will not be available. If you are a registered user of iSilo you may be able to get a upgrades to newer versions by sending your name, order ID for iSilo, and registered email address to email@iSilo.com.

***Do not use the “free” version of the iSilo reader as it does not support illustrations or hyperlinks. I have no ties with iSilo, it is just simply the best program available. It can be used for other things such as reading any document on your computer on your palm. To add this file to your palm just double click on it after you unzip it and it will happen automatically next time you synchronize. Once it is on your palm, just tap on the topic you want to get info on and it will link you to it. You can change the name of the document, but essentially it is a read-only file.

iSilo 3.15 introduced "free mode". "Free mode" replaces "iSilo free", the previous version of iSilo that was offered for free. Users can use iSilo in "free mode" without paying a license fee, but key features are reduced (no hyperlinks etc).

If you do not register iSilo™ by the end of the 30-day trial period, iSilo™ automatically converts to free mode, which allows you to continue using iSilo™ without needing to purchase a license but with limited features. At any time while you are using iSilo™ in free mode, you can still purchase a license to convert it to registered mode.

In free mode, iSilo™ has the following feature limitations:

· Hyperlinks, which make it much easier to navigate through a document, are non-functional.

· Images, which add visual richness to documents, especially photo-quality color pictures, do not display, and in their place are gray rectangular boxes that show where the images would be.

· Color is not available. All parts of a document, including text, backgrounds, and borders display in black and white.

· Tables, which allow for two dimensional layout of content such as tabular data, display in single-column mode.

· Mixed font sizes, which are normally used to differentiate parts of a document such as headings and content, are not available. All text displays in the same font size.

· Copying text to the clipboard, which can be used to copy text from a document to other applications, is not available.

· Bookmarks are not available. You can neither use existing bookmarks nor add new bookmarks to make jumping to various locations with documents easier.

In "free mode" if you click on a hyperlink, you will get the message that the feature is not available in free mode. Also, attempting to use bookmarks or attempting to copy text results in this message too.

A registered user can also enter "free mode" manually, which is useful for seeing how a document functions in "free mode". Please see the respective iSilo manual for the platform you are using for information about entering/exiting free mode.

If your 30-day trial period has expired and iSilo has transitioned into "free mode" and you then register iSilo, it will automatically go to "registered mode".

For more information about free, registered, and trial mode, please consult the iSilo manual documentation or go to this URL:

http://www.isilo.com/info/mode.htm

Basic Tips on using iSilo:

Quick way to get to top of document (beginning):

Pocket PC user: tap “Marks” (located at the bottom of page) and choose “Top of Page”. OR Tap the “page/ %” key (bottom right) and choose “top of page”.

Palm User: Upstroke in the handwriting area (bottom left to top right direction), then in the number writing area write a “zero” (circle, counterclockwise).

“Links are faded on the Palm OS”: If you have a B&W palm: While viewing a document in iSilo, in the "Options" menu, tap on "Display...", then change the Color mode to Black/white (1-bit).

Set Your iSilo Preferences: I personally recommend:

Tools --- Options --- Display: FONT -- small with “absolute” or medium with “relative”.

Text --- normal.

Region: 1: Screen up (so when touch top area you page up).

2: Drag (so you can drag pictures or the screen around).

3: Drag.

4: Screen down.

UI: Hide the scroll bar. Show the tool bar.

Bookmarks: set bookmarks to common locations such as the “Alphabetical Index” or your favorite topic. Just go the location and select “bookmark”.

iSilo will take any document saved as hypertext and convert it to the palm format. For example, write a text document using microsoft WORD, then “save as” a HTML file (save as “web page”). Next, open iSilo-Web (icon should appear on your desktop after installing iSilo), choose “add”, it automatically add it to your palm desktop, otherwise click on the new file you created and your palm will recognize it and add it next time you synchronize.

MEMORY CARD Users:

Expansion Memory for PDAs

All of the newer PDAs have expansion memory capability. If you are going to be purchasing books, such as 5 Minute Clinical Consult, or using large databases, such as Inforetriever, then you will need an expanded memory card. You may use an expansion card to backup your internal memory. Different brands of PDAs require different kinds of expansion memory.

Sony requires Sony Memory Stick
Palm requires Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia Cards (MMC).
Handspring Treo 90 requires Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia Cards (MMC).
Secure Digital allows you to write data to it, whereas the MultiMedia is for reference only. SD is the recommended choice.
The expansion memory comes in a variety of sizes, ranging from 16mb to 256mb, and higher. A minimum recommendation is 128mb.

Hints for Using Expansion Memory

Using expansion memory can be tricky. The following are instructions produced to aid in use of expansion memory. As time goes on, the process will probably get easier.

Here are the possible options about memory cards.

1. You can use the PDA/ Palm Install Tool to install the document to your card during the next HotSync.

2. Use a memory card reader from your desktop PC to write the document directly to the card.

Other: Is using the iSilo Reader, it needs to be on the handheld at least during the period of update installation. Then it can be moved to the card for memory saving. Why this anomaly exists I fail to understand. If the above does not work, you may need to delete and re-install the iSilo, then re-import the clinical text file.

The easiest way to install files to the memory card is to use the Palm Install Tool to add the file to install, and change the destination to the memory card. If the user has a memory card reader/writer and that's the way they normally transfer files to their memory card, then they should copy the file to the /Palm/Programs/iSilo/ directory of the card.

Hints for Running Programs on an SD Expansion Card on a Palm

To move a file from your internal memory to the card:

Tap your Home button
Tap Menu
Choose Copy
At the top of your screen, make sure the Copy To says Card and From says Handheld
Find and highlight the program you want to copy to the card
Tap Copy (This only copies the file, does not move it.)
After the copy is complete, tap Done
Tap Menu
Choose Delete (At the top of your screen, make sure the Delete From says Handheld)
Find and highlight the program you want to delete
Tap the Delete button
Confirm the deletion
Tape Done

To run a program from your card:

Tap your Home button
Tap the Category list in the upper right corner of your Palm
Choose Card
Choose whatever program you wish to run

Hints for Running Programs on a Memory Stick Expansion Card on a Sony Clie

Note: This has been tested on a Sony Clie 615C running Palm OS v 4.1. Unsure of the compatibility with other PDAs or OS's.

You will need to download and install 2 freeware programs -

FileZ , a file manager
MSMount , which allows you to access palm applications/databases that are on the Memory Stick as if they are on the internal memory of Palm device.

After installing, MSMount will only show up in your Prefs icon:

Open Prefs
Tap the upper right corner and choose MSMount
Tap the Enable button

FileZ will be an applicaton icon on your home screen.

Using FileZ, create a directory called Palm/Programs/MSMount (only need to do once):

Open FileZ
Tap the upper right corner and change to (no name set) - I don't know if there is a way to rename it, but it refers to the Memory stick.
Tap on PALM/
Tap on Programs/
Choose your Menu
Choose Create Directory
Name it MSMount
Ok it

To move a file from your internal memory (PalmCard) in FileZ to the Memory Stick (no name set):

Open FileZ
Tap the upper right corner and change to (no name set) - I don't know if there is a way to rename it, but it refers to the Memory stick.
Tap on PALM/
Tap on Programs/
Tap on MSMount
Tap the upper right corner and change to PalmCard - PalmCard refers to the internal memory of your Sony (not intuitive!)
Find the application you want to move to the memory stick and highlight it
Choose your menu
Choose move and select the blank line below PalmCard (that is the no name set that I don't know how to rename) - it should display the path /PALM/Programs/MSMount: if not, change it to that path.
Ok it.
A successful move, will display the message, "The selected file has successfully been moved."

Disable and Enable MSMount:

Open Prefs
Tap the upper right corner and choose MSMount
Tap the Disnable button
Tap the Enable button

Try it out by going to your applications and running the program you just moved. Ta Da!!

An example of how to get the file to:

Expansion Slots (Memory cards, flash memory):

Here are the possible options about memory cards I have gotten from iSilo folks in the past (you may need to ask them at email@iSilo.com if further Q's on this matter:

1. You can use the Palm Install Tool to install the document to your card during the next HotSync.

2. Use a memory card reader from your desktop PC to write the document directly to the card.

Other: iSilo needs to be on the handheld at least during the period of update installation. Then it can be moved to the card for memory saving. Why this anomaly exists I fail to understand.

Other:

Here is one solution a user sent to me for a Visor without enough memory to take the whole program:

It might work, but it might not. You have to be comfortable with the possibility of reinstalling all programs separately.

Buy a 8-64mb memory expander for HS visor, Hotsync then clear memory.

Put in the expander.

Go to palm desktop (newest desktop). Edit users - make one called temp install

Hotsync with temp install.

Install isilo.

Hotsync.

Install clinical bundle.

Hotsync.

Use file manager (with 8mb) to view all.

Then move iSilo to 8mb.

Then move clin med cons to 8mb.

Leave a file called "ToGoDB" if it is under isilo internal (this may relate to documents to go).

hard reset again erase memory.

hotsync, choose original user.

let it work.

reset when prompted.

you can delete the "temp install" user using palm desktop.

If it won't work, erase all and install all your OTHER programs separately.

Once you move the isilo and clin refernce db to the expansion slot, you have

to delete them from.

C:\palm\ . . . . \backup

Or they will be reinstalled and reduplicated and may confuse the palm.

Give it a try. I'll bet you will like having it in a removable slot.

Decompressing Software Files:

How ironic that you have to unzip the download in order to read this help file.

The decompression phase often causes the most confusion for users trying to install software to their Palm devices. This is usually because decompression requires additional software and utilizes a variety of file types that are often unfamiliar. However, the process is not really that complicated once you have the right tools and understand what is happening.

Software files are compressed to reduce their size for easy transmission over the Internet. In many cases, if the files were not compressed, they would take hours to download, particularly for users with slow connections. Once they have been transfered, they can by decompressed by the user back to their full size and ready for use.

File Manager (before decompression): The first step in decompressing software is to make sure that you

have a decompression utility. There are a number of alternative utility programs that will accomplish this purpose, but the one we recommend is WinZip. If you already have a copy of WinZip (or the utility of your choice) you are ready to start the decompression process.

WinZip Window : Using your file manager, you will be able to select the file that you wish to decompress. In this example, we have gone back into our PDA folder. To decompress this file, simply double-click it. This should launch the decompression utility automatically. This window shows all of the files included in the compressed file along with certain statistics about those files (such as the file size and compression ratio).

In the toolbar you will see a button labeled 'Extract' (about half way across). To begin decompressing the files you will want to click this button (if you only want to decompress certain files you can select those first by clicking on them, but in most cases you will want to decompress all the files).

Extract Window: Once you click the 'Extract' button, a window will pop-up that asks you where you want to save the decompressed files. You can choose any location on your computer, but again we recommend using a specific folder for all of your download files. You can also create a new folder to contain only the files you are about to decompress. This will keep all of your new files separate from other files you have downloaded which will help keep things organized and easy to find. To create a new folder, simply click the 'New Folder' button in the lower left corner and type in the folder name. If you are happy with the location specified in the 'Extract to:' box (in the upper-left corner of the Extract Window), click the button marked 'Extract'. Your downloaded file will now be decompressed and the resulting files stored in the folder you specified.

File Manager: Looking in the file manager, it is possible to see if the decompression was successful, see that there are a number of new files listed in the directory. These are the files that were contained in the compressed file. If the decompression was successful, you can decide whether you wish to keep the original compressed file or delete it. If disk space is not really an issue you may wish to keep the compressed file just in case something happens to one of the decompressed files and you need another copy. We generally keep the compressed files in one folder and all of the decompressed files in individual folders named after the main program we downloaded

Pocket PC Users Info:

The exact same file that is read on the palm is read on the Pocket PC with either the MobiPocket or iSilo version of the text.

About the iSilo Reader | About the Free MobiPocket Reader

After unzipping the file, here is one way to transfer the Clinical-X.pdb file to your Pocket PC so that you can read it within iSilo:

Step #1: Make sure you have the correct version of iSilo: If you have a Pocket PC, make sure that you first install iSilo for Pocket PC vs iSilo for the Palm.

Then you will want to copy the Clinical Med File pdb file to your Pocket PC's "\My Documents\iSilo" directory.

If the "Pocket_PC My Documents" directory does not exist on your Windows PC desktop, then you need to enable ActiveSync's File synchronization option. Do this:

2. In the Tools menu, click Options.

3. Check the Files - Synchronized Files icon.

4. Click OK.

The "Pocket_PC My Documents" directory should then be created on your desktop.

You can then open the directory, create the "iSilo" directory within it, and then copy your documents to that directory.
