Windows XP offers several ways to add or detect new hardware. Usually, when you add hardware to your

software on the new hardware’s installation CD.
However, if you need to perform a manual hardware scan, use one of the following methods:
> Click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Add Hardware. Follow the instructions that
appear onscreen.
> Click Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, System. On the Hardware tab, click Add
Hardware Wizard, and follow the instructions that appear on screen.
We recommend that you avoid using the Device Manager to scan for new hardware, as its functions are not
yet fully supported.
Display Switching
Windows XP supports fast user switching.
Some features such as Fn+F5 may not work in this
mode.
Games
Certain demanding graphic gamming applications may limit your notebook performance.
