Preinstalled Software
The Windows 95 operating system is preinstalled on the computer
hard drive.
MS-DOS real mode drivers are also preinstalled, which load if you
have older MS-DOS based programs or games that require an
MS-DOS real mode session. Refer to the online Readme file for
more information. Click the Start button, point to Programs, point
to MS-DOS Real Mode, then click Readme.
NOTE: Computer Setup and Compaq Diagnostics are not on the
computer hard drive. Computer Setup is in the system BIOS, and
the Compaq Diagnostics utilities are on diskette. Refer to Chapter
10, "Running Computer Setup," for information about setting up
your computer and Chapter 11, "Running Compaq Diagnostics," for
information about running diagnostic utilities.
Backing Up the Preinstalled Software
Compaq recommends that you create a backup of the preinstalled
software. For online backup instructions, click the Start button;
point to Programs, Accessories, System Tools; and click Backup. In
Backup, click the Help menu, Help Topics, and the Index tab. Find
and display the instructions for the topic "system, backing up."
If you prefer, you can order backup diskettes for an additional cost.
To order, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers listed in the
Preface of this guide. Or, if an order form was included with your
computer, complete the form and return it or call one of the
numbers listed on the form.
Reinstalling Drivers if You Delete
the Preinstalled Software
If you reconfigure the hard drive and install your own MS-DOS
and/or Windows operating environment, you will need to reinstall
some device drivers to regain full functionality of the computer.
Call one of the worldwide telephone numbers listed in the Preface
of this guide for information about ordering the drivers kit. When
ordering, ask for the Compaq LTE 5000 Drivers Kit for
Windows 95.
