Software application launching method and apparatus

A method of using a software application on a mobile computing device, comprising the steps of:

• determining that the software application is not configured to run in a desired manner on the mobile computing device;
• providing a launching application on the mobile computing device, the launching application associated with an icon on the mobile computing device, which is representative of the software application;
• starting the launching application;
• modifying parameters of the mobile computing device, by the launching application, so that the application is able to run in a desired manner on the mobile computing device;
• and
• automatically operating, the software application.

A method of operating a software application for use with at least one electronic device having a microprocessor capability and a memory, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a software application stored in the memory, the software application not configured for use on the electronic device;
• providing access to a launching application for use by the electronic device, the launching application associated with a display on the electronic device representative of the software application;
• starting the launching application prior to operating the software application;
• automatically modifying parameters of the electronic device upon starting the launching application to enable the software application to run properly on the electronic device;
• and
• automatically operating the software application.

A system of operating a software application for use with at least one electronic device having a microprocessor and a memory, the system comprising:
