Setting Up Your Computer
Corporate Evaluator’s Guide 25
If your computer does not have a built-in modem, you can register after you set up a PC
card modem or an external modem—or you can register by phone or fax.
By phone
You can call your HP Customer Care Center and register by phone. Check “To call the HP
Customer Care Center“ on page 126 for the phone number.
By fax
If a printer is connected to your computer, you can print a copy of your registration and
fax it to HP. You will find the fax number on the registration form.
By completing registration, you will:
Record your ownership of the computer with Hewlett-Packard and gain access to
service, support, and information.
Record your ownership of the Windows 98 operating system with Microsoft. If you
have Windows 2000, please contact Microsoft separately for registration of the
operating system.
To connect to an Internet Service Provider
Before you can connect to the Internet, you need to set up an account with an Internet
Service Provider (ISP). In some countries, Hewlett-Packard provides easy Internet signup
so that you can connect quickly to an ISP.
1. Connect the included telephone cord to your built-in modem. (If your computer does
not have a built-in modem, you can instead use a PC card modem or an external
modem.)
2. Double-click the desktop icon labeled “Connect to the Internet.” This will launch the
Internet Connection wizard, which will help you locate an ISP in your area.
OR
Click Start, Programs, Online Services and select one of the listed ISPs. This begins
the registration process for the ISP you have chosen.
You can also make arrangements with an ISP of your choice for Internet connection.
