When making the transition to new or revised operating
systems, it is important to implement the support software
designed for that operating system. If you plan to run any of the
following operating systems on your computer, you must install
corresponding Compaq device drivers and utilities to ensure all
features are supported and functioning properly:
■
Microsoft Windows 3.1
■
IBM OS/2
■
Microsoft Windows 95
■
A version of Microsoft Windows NT that is different from
the version included with your computer
Compaq has made the task of locating, accessing, evaluating,
and installing the latest support software easier. There are three
methods you can use to access support software:
■
You can order the Support Software CD for Compaq
Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products. This compact
disc contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and
flashable ROM images needed to run MS-DOS, Microsoft
Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT Workstation, and
IBM OS/2 on your Compaq commercial desktop product.
■
You can download the software from the Compaq World
Wide Web site (www.compaq.com).
✎
Both the CD and the web site include The Locator with
Decision Support, a comprehensive listing of the device
drivers, utilities, flashable ROM images, and more,
categorized by operating system, personal computer
family, and model for easy retrieval. Decision Support
provides detailed information for each piece of support
software, including descriptions, features, enhancements,
dependencies, and update criticalities.
■
You can purchase backup diskettes.
If you choose to purchase the Support Software CD, you have
two options:
■
You can purchase a single CD-ROM that gives you one-
time access to the latest support software (North America
only).
■
You can purchase a yearly subscription that delivers up to
12 monthly CD-ROMs.
