Software Updates, Restorations and Utilities Reinstalling Device Drivers and Other Software After the installation process is complete, you must reinstall drivers and other software. To reinstall drivers use the Driver Recovery CD included with the notebook: 1. While running Windows, insert the Driver Recovery CD into the optical drive. If you do not have Autorun enabled, select Start > Run. Then type D:\SWSETUP\APPINSTL\SETUP.EXE (where D indicates the optical drive). 2. Follow the on-screen instructions for installing drivers. After the drivers are reinstalled, you must reinstall any software you added to the notebook. Follow the installation instructions provided with the software. Installing a Retail Version of an Operating System Ä CAUTION: Replacing an operating system enhanced by HP with a retail version of an operating system will result in the loss of all HP enhancements. In some cases, the loss of these enhancements may result in an unresponsive system or the loss of complete USB support. The Windows operating system provided on the notebook or on a restoration CD is enhanced by HP. The HP enhancements add power and security features and provide supplementary support for external devices such as drives and PC Cards. Startup and Reference Guide-Part 2 9-11
