Starting Your PC for the First Time

The first time you start the PC, you are given the choice of installing
either Windows 95 or Windows for Workgroups. This is a once only
choice. Once installed you cannot go back and change the operating
system unless you buy new operating system software.

Starting Your PC

1 Before you start your PC, always switch on the display first.
2 Start your PC in one of these ways:
press the power button on the front panel
•
press the space bar.
•
When you switch on the computer, the computer carries out the
Power-On-Self-Test (POST) while the Vectra logo is displayed. If
you wish to view the POST details, press
Summary Screen. If there is an error in the POST, the error will
automatically be displayed.
3 If you have set a password in the PC's Setup program, the password
prompt displays after the POST has completed. If the Password
prompt is displayed, press
again to use the PC.

Stopping Your PC and HP Off

Before switching off the PC, save any open documents and close all
open applications. If you are using Windows 95, go to the Start menu in
the task bar and choose Shut Down. If you are using Windows for
Workgroups, close Program Manager.
