Using the Application Recovery CD(s)
The Application Recovery CDs allow you to reinstall individual applications and
device drivers if they are corrupted or accidentally erased. Reinstalling an
individual device driver or software title may correct a problem you are
experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to recover the entire
contents of your hard drive. If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that
shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD. See Using the
System Recovery CD(s) on page 91.
.
To use the Application Recovery CD(s)
1
Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, close all
applications.
2
When the Windows desktop appears, insert the first Sony Application
Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive. The Application Recovery utility loads
automatically.
3
When the Application Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the recovery process.
You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CDs.
Some applications on the Application Recovery CDs must be decompressed before
the installation process begins. Your screen does not change while the files are
decompressed. The time to decompress an application varies and may be as long as
30 minutes.
Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two
Application Recovery CDs, insert the first CD to run the Application Recovery
program. You may be prompted to insert the second CD, depending on the application
you wish to restore.
