CD to restore the contents of the preinstalled hard disk to what it
was at the time of purchase. (To use the Recovery CD, see “Using
the Recovery CD” on page 134.)
ConfigSafe
ConfigSafe is an application program for Windows 98, Windows NT
or Windows 95 that periodically takes
snapshots
of your system files.
If your computer does not operate properly after you install a new
device driver or software, use ConfigSafe to restore the last working
version of your system files. Although it might not make your new
hardware or software work, it will set your computer up and running
again. This application protects your data.
