When selecting software for your computer, read the packaging
to verify that it is compatible with your version of the Microsoft
Windows operating system and the specifications of your
Internet PC.

those instructions. If not, you can complete the following steps for installing
software from a CD or a diskette.

installation process, you can install the software by using the
Microsoft Windows Add/Remove Programs utility.
