Using the product recovery CD-ROMs
Performing an application recovery
The application recovery utility allows you to reinstall individual applications. Reinstalling a program can fix
the problems encountered if it does not correctly run anymore.
To perform an application recovery, proceed as follows:
1
Take the last product recovery CD-ROM.
2
Turn on your computer (using AC power only) and wait until Windows has booted up.
3
Insert the product recovery CD-ROM into the DVD-ROM drive.
4
Open the drive through Windows Explorer and click the Apps directory.
5
Open the directory that corresponds to the application you want to recover.
6
Double-click the Setup program.
7
Follow the instructions in the Installer.
You must run the last product recovery CD-ROM from Windows.
The application will not run from DOS.
When performing an application recovery, you do not lose data on your hard disk.
In most cases, it is advised to uninstall an application before reinstalling it.
Reinstalling a device driver
Some applications or peripherals require specific drivers which you will not find in the Windows
folder. To help you find or restore typical drivers needed by your pre-installed applications, you can use the
last product recovery CD-ROM.
To reinstall a device driver, proceed as follows:
1
First check whether the driver you want to reinstall is on the last product recovery CD-ROM. Only device
drivers that are not delivered with Windows
®
can be found in the Drivers folder.
