The necessary drivers and enhancements available for the Compaq Armada E, M, and V Series of

the date of this publication. Refer to the Compaq Web site for an up-to-date list of available drivers
and enhancements and their associated SoftPaq™ numbers.
Important Notes
•
Ensure that the computer is undocked and that no PC Cards are inserted into the PC Card slots
while installing drivers.
•
Any item with an asterisk is considered optional and may not be needed by all users.
•
Any first step that begins with “Double-click SETUP” assumes that My Computer or Explorer
is used to navigate to the directory where the files are located after their extraction from the
SoftPaq.
•
These SoftPaqs are the minimum required for Microsoft Windows 98. They may be
superceded, as noted on the Compaq Web site.
