Software Updates and Recovery
Hardware and Software Guide 14–19
Reinstall Additional Software
After you have reinstalled drivers, you can begin to reinstall
additional software.
■ To reinstall software included with your notebook, follow
the instructions in “Repairing or Reinstalling Applications,”
earlier in this chapter.
■ To reinstall software that was not included with your
notebook, refer to the installation instructions included with
the software. Installation instructions are usually provided
on the software CD, in the CD package, or at the Web site
of the software provider or manufacturer.
Update Reinstalled Software
It is strongly recommended that you update all reinstalled
software. Depending on the settings you used on your former
configuration, some software may have been automatically
updated without your knowledge. Use the following update
procedures as soon as your notebook is connected to the Internet.
To access update links for the operating system and other
software provided on your notebook:
» Select Start > Help and Support.
To update optional software, follow the instructions included
with the software. Many applications include an update feature
that you can access from a Help button or menu item within the
application.
If you are unable to update your operating system from the
Internet and a Critical Security Updates for Windows XP disc was
included with your notebook, refer to “Critical Security Updates
for Windows XP” in Chapter 12, “Security.”
