Downloading Software Updates
You can obtain download and installation instructions from the
Software and Drivers Download Center at the Compaq Web site.
In addition, each download includes a Readme.txt file that
includes installation instructions and other information.
✎
Note
Most software at the Compaq Web site is packaged in a
compressed file called a SoftPaq™. A compressed file containing
a system read-only memory (ROM) is called a ROMPaq™.
To download software updates from the Compaq Web site:
1. Go to
http://www.compaq.com/support/files
.
2. From the Software and Drivers Download Center menu,
select your notebook.
3. Select your computer family, model, and operating system
and select Go.
4. Browse through the entries and ensure that you have the latest
software, especially the ROM and video updates.
✎
Note
To determine the version of the system ROM installed on
the computer, press Fn+esc. (The version of the Compaq System
BIOS is the version of your system ROM.) If you are unable to
display the system ROM version with Fn+esc, run Computer
Setup. For instructions on running Computer Setup, refer to the
Compaq Utilities guide.
