Merck Manual is very important for med students, med professionals and nursing staff. It has everything that an MD wants to know, quick. Of course, it is also for the layman to check on the doc to see what the doc do not know . And as always, it is FREE, if you do it right.

Its installation into GVM is very difficult, at least for me. To begin with, you MUST be able to hotsync with your PC (Mac?) without any error. Once you do that, go http://www.merckmedicus.com/pp/us/hcp/hcp_home.jsp, register and create an account. It is FREE, dont know whether 'category' of your account limited you to dl Merck manual (Medicine profession web sites tend to category "accounts"). BTW, they want you to sign into the website 3 to 4 times, not quite sure why.

Click dl and install Merck manual,

Step 1. Select Content
I checked everything except Harrison

Step 2. Choose PDA
check MS Windows

Step 3. check I have read...
click Download

Run the dl ed file
pick a user name for your palm sync
check Internal handheld memory [Default]

Sync your GVM when page of unbound medicine showed up, It will then run for awhile, keep your finger crossed....if it failed, just repeated a couple of time, until you see a log on page from your PC, then you have succeed. Once installed, the update is via internet.

I did 15x and was able to installed 2 copies, yes, I wasted 13X times! Post back if you have a better method.
