Critical Security Updates For Windows Xp; Using The Smart Card Reader - HP Compaq NC6220 Hardware And Software Manual

Critical Security Updates for
Windows XP
CAUTION: Because new computer viruses are being detected all the
Ä
time, it is recommended that you install all critical updates as soon as
you receive an alert from Microsoft. You should also run Windows
Update on a monthly basis to install the latest recommended updates
from Microsoft.
A Critical Security Updates for Windows XP disc may have been
included with your notebook to provide additional updates
delivered after the computer was configured. Throughout the life
of the computer, Microsoft will continue to update the operating
system and make these updates available on their Web site.
To update your system using the Critical Security Updates for
Windows XP disc:
1. Insert the disc into the drive. (The disc automatically runs the
installation application.)
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install all updates. (This
may take a few minutes.)
3. Remove the disc.

Using the Smart Card Reader

Your notebook is equipped with an embedded smart card reader,
and the driver for your smart card reader is preinstalled. No action
is necessary to install the driver.
The smart card reader is used with industry-standard smart cards,
small plastic cards the size of a credit card. Smart cards carry a
microchip containing memory and a microprocessor. Like
personal computers, they have an operating system to manage
input and output, and include security features to protect against
tampering.
