Installing critical security updates

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information damage or loss from security
breaches and computer viruses, install all critical updates from Microsoft as
soon as you receive an alert.
Additional updates to the operating system and other software may have become
available after the computer was shipped. Download all available updates and install
them onto your computer. To get the latest updates for your computer, click the Windows
Start Button on the taskbar, click Help and Support, and then click Software,
drivers, and BIOS updates.
Updates to Microsoft Windows Vista and other Microsoft programs are released
periodically. You can obtain updates, as they are released, from the Microsoft Web site.
You should also run Windows Vista Update monthly to install the latest software from
Microsoft.
After you have completed the steps on the setup poster, you are ready to turn on your
computer.
1 Press the Power button on the monitor.
2 Press the On button on the front of the computer.
3 Turn on the speakers, if they are present.
4 Set up your computer by following the onscreen instructions. If prompted, select the
country/region where you are physically located and wait while the computer makes
preparations. (When you select an alternate language, it may take up to 30 minutes
for this one-time language setup on the computer.)
5 Set up Microsoft Windows Vista by following the onscreen instructions.
6 Follow the onscreen instructions to register with HP or Compaq, sign up for updates,
and get online. If you do not want to set up an Internet connection at this time, you can
do so later by manually starting Easy Internet Services. See "Connecting to the
Internet."
7 Norton Internet Security automatically opens. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up
this tool to protect your computer and your privacy.
NOTE: If you stop the setup procedure, when you are ready to finish, double-click the
Easy Setup icon on the desktop to run the first-time wizard.
