The image consists of a number of separate software components including the operating system (such as Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition), drivers for the specific hardware devices included with your system (such as graphics, network interface cards, modems, etc.) and a small number of additional applications. See the Additional Software section for possible list of applications. Quick fixes (QFEs) are also included with the image for any Microsoft operating system issues that HP identified as problems that might affect its customers. These QFEs will show up under the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. Since most of these fixes are critical in nature, they will appear grayed out by design so they cannot be removed. Standalone service packs may also be preloaded on some systems depending on the version of the integrated operating system and the timing and nature of the HP Compaq Business Desktop product introduction. Other software applications that are preloaded include optional business software. Examples of these types of applications include Norton Anti-Virus, and Altiris Deployment Agent for Windows (A Client). An HP developed application called Software Setup provides a user interface to allow installation of these optional preloaded programs.
