work, you can skip registration for now.
To register your computer
Be sure to register your computer. Registering is free and fast, and it ensures you will
receive quicker, more personalized support. The information you provide during
registration will be used to provide you with better products and services.
There are three ways to register:
• by modem
• by phone
• by fax
By modem
If you have Windows 98, you are prompted automatically to register. To register by
modem, see that the phone is connected, then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you have Windows 2000, you are not prompted to register, but you can register by
modem if you double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop or click the
Register link in the Windows 2000 welcome screen. See that the phone line is connected
and follow the onscreen instructions.
With either operating system, if you choose not to register right away, you can register by
modem later by double-clicking the Registration icon on the desktop. This icon disappears
after you register.
