General Software Image Contents

HP Compaq Business Desktops come standard with a factory-installed software image. The image consists of a
number of separate software components including the operating system (such as Microsoft Windows XP
Professional Edition), drivers for the specific hardware devices included with your system (such as graphics, network
interface cards, modems, etc.) and a small number of additional applications. See the Additional Software section
for possible list of applications.
Quick fixes (QFEs) are also included with the image for any Microsoft operating system issues that HP identified as
problems that might affect its customers. These QFEs will show up under the Add/Remove Programs applet in the
Control Panel. Since most of these fixes are critical in nature, they will appear grayed out by design so they cannot
be removed.
Standalone service packs may also be preloaded on some systems depending on the version of the integrated
operating system and the timing and nature of the HP Compaq Business Desktop product introduction. Other
software applications that are preloaded include optional business software. Examples of these types of
applications include Norton Anti-Virus, and Altiris Deployment Agent for Windows (A Client). An HP developed
application called Software Setup provides a user interface to allow installation of these optional preloaded
programs.
