Installing Additional Device Drivers
Device drivers are programs or data files containing information
needed to run a particular PC Card. Compaq preinstalls most of
the device drivers you need on the computer.
✎
To save available memory, some device drivers are not turned on.
Some types of PC Cards, such as network cards, Global
Positioning System (GPS) cards, SCSI cards, audio cards, and
multifunction cards, require an additional software device driver
to function properly. The device driver is provided by the
PC Card manufacturer and should be installed according to the
manufacturer instructions. Do not install other PC Card software
that is provided by the manufacturer, even if prompted to do so.
The other software may prevent the computer from working
properly with all of your PC Cards.
Adding Wireless Devices
The computer supports a Compaq wireless device, such as the
Mini PCI 802.11b or Bluetooth PC Card.
Consult an authorized Compaq dealer for information on using
wireless connectivity devices with your computer.
