Driver Installation General
Guidelines
As a general guide follow the
default on-screen instruc-
tions for each driver (e.g.
Next > Next > Finish) unless
you are an advanced user. In
many cases a restart is re-
quired to install the driver.
Make sure any modules (e.g.
WLAN or Bluetooth) are ON
before installing the appropri-
ate driver.
Windows Update
After installing all the drivers
make sure you enable Win-
dows Update in order to get
all the latest security updates
etc. (all updates will include
the latest hotfixes from Mi-
crosoft).

Driver Installation
The Device Drivers & Utilities + User's Manual disc contains the drivers and utilities
necessary for the proper operation of the computer. This setup will probably have al-
ready been done for you. If this is not the case, insert the disc and click Install Drivers
(button), or Option Drivers (button) to access the Optional driver menu. Install the
drivers in the order indicated in
install (you should note down the drivers as you install them). Note: If you need to
reinstall any driver, you should uninstall the driver first .
Manual Driver Installation
Click the Browse CD/DVD button in the Drivers Installer application and browse to
the executable file in the appropriate driver folder.
If a Found New Hardware wizard appears during the installation procedure, click
Cancel, and follow the installation procedure as directed.

Driver Installation & Power
When installing drivers make sure
your computer is powered by the AC/
DC adapter connected to a working
power source. Some drivers draw a
significant amount of power during the
installation procedure, and if the re-
maining battery capacity is not ade-
quate this may cause the system to
shut down and cause system prob-
lems (note that there is no safety is-
sue involved here, and the battery will
be rechargeable within 1 minute).
