2–2 Getting Started
Setting Up the Computer
When you first turn on the computer, a series of
startup screens appears. For some models, you
choose your language: click an option to select
your language, and then click OK. Confirm your
selection by clicking Yes. Wait while the PC makes
preparations. (It may take up to 15 minutes to set
up the language on the PC.) To proceed with the
initial Microsoft

Windows

setup, you must
answer a few additional questions.
Registering with Compaq
As part of the initial setup in some
countries/regions, you are prompted to register the
computer with Compaq. It’s important to register so
that you can be notified of changes and updates to
the Compaq Presario.
We recommend that you register the Compaq
Presario at this time. You can register any of
these ways:
■ When you first start up your computer, follow
the onscreen instructions and register as soon
as you have a modem connection.
■ Double-click the Registration icon on your
desktop, and follow the onscreen instructions.
The registration icon appears on your
desktop only if you did not register during
the initial setup of your computer.
