Installing the Retail Version of an

original computer setup is enhanced by Compaq. The
enhancements provide additional functionality in such areas as
power management and the use of drives and PC Cards.
All Compaq enhancements can be obtained from the
Compaq
Support Software CD
or from the Compaq website at
http:/www.compaq.com.
CAUTION:
Replacing a Compaq-enhanced operating system with a
retail version will result in the loss of all enhancements added by
Compaq. In some cases it may result in system lockups and loss of
unsaved information. Most preinstalled reference files, such as Help
files, are available only through a Windows interface. If the operating
system is removed from the computer, these reference files become
unavailable. In some cases, complete USB support is available only
through the Windows interface.
