www.dell.com | support.dell.com Installing and Configuring Software See "Resources and Support Tools" for a list of software resources available to you from Dell, including drivers, utilities, documentation, and operating system backups. Before installing software that was not provided with your Dell computer, check the software for viruses with virus-scanning software. Viruses can quickly use all available system memory, damage or destroy data stored on the hard drive, and permanently affect the performance of the programs they infect. Several commercial virus-scanning programs are available for purchase, and many websites distribute virus-scanning programs that you can download. Before you install a program, read its documentation to learn how the program works, what hardware it requires, and what its defaults are. A program usually includes installation instructions in its accompanying documentation and a software installation routine on its program diskette(s) or CD(s). The software installation routine assists you in transferring the appropriate program files to your computer's hard drive. Installation instructions may provide details about how to configure your operating system to successfully run the program. Always read the installation instructions before running a program's installation routine. When you run the installation routine, be prepared to respond to prompts for information about how your computer's operating system is configured, what type of computer you have, and what peripherals are connected to your computer. NOTE: If you experience any problems while installing or operating your software, see "Software Problems." TAPI The Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) enables Windows-based applications to operate with a wide variety of telephony devices, including voice, data, fax, video, and so forth. TAPI applications require a TAPI service provider (TSP), which is a software driver that allows TAPI applications to communicate with different types of TAPI hardware. 46 Advanced Features
