Adding New Software Programs To Your Computer; Removing Programs From Your Computer - HP Pavilion 8290 User Manual

Adding New Software
Programs to Your
Computer
There are two ways to install a new program:
using the install utility that comes with the new
program, or using the Add/Remove Programs
utility in Windows 95.
To install new programs by running Add/Remove
Programs:
1
Put the CD in the media drive, or put the
diskette in the diskette drive.
2
Click Start on the Windows 95 taskbar.
3
Select Settings.
4
Click Control Panel.
5
Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
6
Click Install.
7
Follow the on-screen directions.
Once a new program is installed, it appears in the
Programs section of the Start menu.
Note:
If you do not install programs with an install
utility (or the Add/Remove Programs utility), you won't
be able to remove the programs properly later. Merely
deleting a program icon will not remove all of the
program files.
Removing Programs
from Your Computer
There are a number of ways to remove programs
from your hard disk. Some programs come with
their own uninstall utility, which you use to
remove the program. You can buy uninstall
utilities that remove any program from your hard
disk. Or you can use the Add/Remove Programs
utility in Windows 95.
