If you install a file that contains an
update or repair to an existing
application, you can only restore the
original application if you have the
original installation file or a full
backup copy of the removed software
package. To restore the original
application, remove the application,
and install the application again from
the original installation file or the
backup copy.
The JAR file is required for installing
Java applications. If it is missing, the
device may ask you to download it. If
there is no access point defined for
the application, you are asked to
select one. When you are
downloading the JAR file, you may
need to enter a user name and
password to access the server. You
obtain these from the supplier or
manufacturer of the application.

Important: Your device can only
support one antivirus application. Having
more than one application with antivirus
functionality could affect performance
and operation or cause the device to stop
functioning.
After you install applications to a
compatible memory card, installation files
(.sis, .sisx) remain in the device memory.
The files may use large amounts of
memory and prevent you from storing
other files. To maintain sufficient
memory, use Nokia Ovi Suite to back up
installation files to a compatible PC, then
use the file manager to remove the
installation files from the device memory.
If the .sis file is a message attachment,
delete the message from the Messaging
inbox.
