Installing Software An application software program performs a specific task, such as database management, word processing, financial management, or graphic illustration. Application software is different than system software or operating systems, which maintain and organize the system. Each application program usually includes its own installation program and documented installation procedures. Before installation, read the documentation that came with the application to ensure that your computer meets the disk space, memory, operating system, and monitor requirements of the application. Operating System Support Contact your authorized Compaq service provider to obtain Compaq supplemental software and drivers if you are replacing your preinstalled operating system with another operating system. You can also go to the Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com to obtain Compaq supplemental software. 11-2 Adding Software and Upgrades
