If you are unsure whether Dell installed a particular software package you ordered,
you can quickly check by clicking the
Start
button, pointing to
Programs
, and scan-
ning the programs listed in the
Programs
menu. If the program is listed, it has already
been installed and you do not need to reinstall it from the diskettes or CDs you
received with your system. Store the diskettes and CDs in a safe place.
Before installing any new software, check the program’s specifications to ensure that
it was designed to run on your computer’s installed hardware and software. For
example, many software packages list the microprocessor, minimum memory config-
uration, and hard-disk drive space required for proper operation. They also list the
operating system versions that are compatible with the software.
