use. MultiPort devices are only supported under Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
How can DVD movies be viewed on Evo Notebook models?
The Compaq DVD Solution is preloaded on new Evo family products. A software-based DVD
decoder/player features an easy-to-use interface and allows users to view DVD video releases.
The DVD player is installed when a DVD movie is inserted into the DVD-ROM drive for the
first time. This application is designed for use with Windows XP and Windows 2000.
Is the preinstalled software image on the Evo N410c/N610c preinstall image
also compatible with Evo N400c, N600c, N800c, and N1000c models?
Yes, the updated preinstalled software image has been tested with Evo N400c, N600c, N800c,
and N1000c models.
If a new model is introduced, will all previously released models in the
family that are still being manufactured be updated with the new preinstall
image?
No, many customers have expressed a need for consistency. Therefore, Compaq will make every
effort to maintain a consistent software image on Evo Notebook models during the life of these
models. Compaq will supply white papers to provide the necessary information to customers who
want to maintain a single list of software components for Evo
N1000c/N800c/N610c/N600c/N410c/N400c models.
How do I obtain updated software components?
The latest software updates are available from the Compaq Web site at http://www.compaq.com.
For customers without Web access, the Compaq Software Support CD Kit is available. In North
America, call 1-800-952-7689 for more information.
Why aren't Compaq Security Management and Power Management
provided for the Evo N410c/N610c/N800c/N1000c?
Compaq Security Management and Compaq Power Management provided significant
enhancements for legacy operating systems such as Windows NT Workstation and Windows 98.
As Microsoft has introduced new operating systems, many of the features included with this
software has been incorporated. The utilities were supported on prior generation models to
provide a consistent interface to these features for multiple operating systems. With the
discontinuation of Windows 98 and Windows NT, the remaining operating systems (Windows
2000 and Windows XP) provide the consistency and feature support that most users require.
