Setting Up Windows 98 - Sharp PC-A800 Series Manual

Setting Up Windows 98

Windows 98 is pre-installed on your computer, including the special drivers and
software used by built-in components such as the audio and video system, the
modem, and the PC card slot. The Windows Setup program lets you enter personal
data such as your name, the date and time in your location, and so on. It takes just a
few minutes to complete. The setup process has four steps:
Getting started
This section asks for your name.
Registration
This section configures your modem
Windows License
This section asks you to accept the Windows License Agreement and to enter the
Windows Product Key
Final Settings
This section checks the date and time in your location, and then completes the
configuration of your system
Once you start the system for the first time, be sure to complete the
setup program. Windows does not display the Setup Wizard the next
time you turn on the computer.
About Windows Properties Dialog Boxes
In this manual you are often asked to open a Component Properties dialog box, such
as the Modem Properties dialog box, or the Display Properties dialog box. These
dialog boxes let you make changes to the configuration and operation of the
component by clicking check boxes or selecting radio buttons. To open a Property
dialog box, click the Start button in the taskbar at the foot of the Windows display.
Select Settings - Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double-click on an
icon to display a Properties dialog box, or similar window, for the component or
feature represented by that icon. Some of the Properties dialog boxes that are used to
configure components in your computer include:
