Reinstalling Windows
If your tablet PC is not working correctly, try the following options to correct
the problem:
■ Troubleshooting. For more information, see “Troubleshooting” on
page 237.
■ Reinstalling device drivers. For more information, see “Reinstalling device
drivers” on page 209.
If the options above do not correct the problem, you can use the Restoration
CDs to reinstall Windows and other software.
The Restoration CDs step you through reinstalling Windows XP. If you are
reinstalling Windows XP, the Restoration CDs automatically reinstall the
hardware device drivers and some programs as well. You can install any
remaining programs by using the program CDs that came with your tablet PC.
To reinstall your programs, follow the instructions in “Reinstalling programs”
on page 212.
Important If you are prompted for your Windows product key when
you reinstall Windows, you can find the key on the
Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity label located on the
back of your tablet PC case. For more information, see
“Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity” on page 12.
