Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 The first time you turn on your computer, Microsoft Windows NT Workstation is automatically installed for you. This takes approximately 30 minutes, depending on your system hardware configuration. At the beginning of the installation process, you may be prompted to an operating system and/or a language for the operating system. Read and follow the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the installation. CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the computer during the installation process might damage the software that runs the computer. When the Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, the Windows installation process is complete. Installing or Upgrading Device Drivers for Windows NT Workstation 4.0 If you wish to install hardware devices after the operating system installation is completed, the operating system needs access to the appropriate software drivers for the devices. The I386 directory and its subdirectories provide the Compaqspecific integration of the operating system for your computer model and include supported device drivers. When prompted for the I386 directory, replace the path specification with C:\I386 or use the browse button of the dialog box to browse the computer for the I386 folder. This points the operating system to the appropriate drivers and allows installation of the hardware device. 1-2 Getting Started with Software
