Setting up Microsoft Windows 2000
Note: When you first start your computer, you may see a startup routine
before the Setup Wizard appears. This may take several minutes, so do not
restart the computer during this process.
IMPORTANT! It is recommended that you set up your
computer as an Administrator, in order to take advantage of all
of the features of your Presario PC. Under User mode, most
functionality is significantly limited for security purposes.
When the Setup Wizard screen opens, you will see several
dialog boxes that prompt you for information such as your name
or your network type. Remember that not all of the options may
be available, or that they may be in a different order.
➜
After you first start up your computer and the Setup Wizard
dialog box appears, click Next to continue.
➜
You are prompted to accept the License Agreement; if you
agree to the terms, check I accept this agreement, then click
Next.
➜
You can change regional settings for your region, such as the
default currency or the time and date formats. You can also
change the default language of your computer or your
keyboard layout. Click one of the Customize buttons and
make your changes. Click Next.
Note: You can change these settings later using Regional Options on the
Control Panel.
➜
In the Personalize Your Software dialog box, type your
name and organization if applicable. After you have typed
the information, click Next to continue.
➜
The next box shows the Computer Name and
Administrator Password dialog box. Here you provide the
name for your computer. If you are on a network, your
network administrator can tell you what name to use. If you
are not on a network you can use any name you want.

Caution: If you lose or forget the administrator password, you will
have to reinstall the oporating system to recover.
