Setting Up Your
Internet Account
Before you can connect to the Internet, you need
to sign up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
HP has made arrangements with leading ISPs
in your area to help you sign up for Internet
service. Use Easy Internet Sign-up to sign up with
an ISP. The software programs for available ISPs
are part of your system.
The Windows desktop may have a folder
called Online Services, which includes icons for
accessing various online services. These icons
are part of the Windows operating system, but
they are not functional in all countries/regions.
