Solving software problems
Most software problems occur as a result of the following:
●
The application was not installed or configured correctly.
●
There is insufficient memory available to run the application.
●
There is a conflict between applications.
●
Be sure that all the needed device drivers have been installed.
●
If you have installed an operating system other than the factory-installed operating system, check to
be sure it is supported on the system.
NOTE: HP Backup and Recovery Manager can be used to restore the software to a recovery point or
to restore the system to its factory configuration. Refer to
Creating a disc recovery set on page 2 for more
