Troubleshooting and Maintenance 67
Performing the Post-Recovery Procedure
1 At the Welcome to Microsoft Windows screen, follow the onscreen setup instructions,
and then click Start in the last screen to display the Windows desktop.
2 Configure your Internet connection.
3 Turn off your computer, reconnect all peripheral devices that were originally connected
to it, and then turn the computer back on.
4 Reinstall software that originally came in the box with your computer, and also any
additional software you purchased.
■ The system recovery software might have already installed some of the software
that came in the box.
■ If you installed updates to any software programs, reinstall those as well. You can
typically download these updates from the software manufacturer’s Web site.
5 Use Windows Update to get critical updates from Microsoft:
a Click the Windows Vista start button, and then click Control Panel.
b Under Security, click the Check for Updates button.
c Click Install Updates.
6 Restart your computer. (Some updates will not finish installing until you restart.)
7 Use HP Update to get critical updates from HP:
a Click the Windows Vista start button, click All Programs, click the HP
folder, and then click HP Update.
b Follow the onscreen instruction to download driver and software updates.
8 If you performed a backup before the system recovery, copy the backup data files from
the backup media to your hard disk drive.
9 Ensure your system is running up-to-date security software.
