Repairing or Reinstalling Applications

All applications preinstalled or preloaded on your notebook
can be repaired or reinstalled by using a recovery disc.
If you have not reinstalled your operating system, some
applications preloaded on your notebook, such as those available
in the Software Setup utility, can also be repaired or reinstalled
from your hard drive.
The application reinstallation process repairs or replaces
corrupted system files within the application and reinstalls
deleted system files within the application.

In most cases: If the application you are repairing or
reinstalling is still installed on your notebook, the

In all cases: If an application has been deleted from your
notebook, the reinstallation process reinstalls the application
with factory settings.
