drivers for various DOS programs installed in subdirectories on the hard disk. Video display
drivers are explained in more detail in Chapter 6.
You can use PCMCIA cards under Windows, which includes the necessary support software.
You may need to update your system configuration for some cards. If this is necessary, you will
need your Windows system disks. so you should probably check any cards you will use. To use a
PCMCIA card in a Windows DOS session, you need to have any necessary software configured
in a CONFIG.SYS file so that it will load when you start the DOS session. For more information,
you should refer to the PCMCIA Card Reference Guide that comes with your computer.
If you purchased either the audio card or fax modem option, their software and manuals are
packed with them. If you specified either of these options when you got your computer, the
hardware will already be installed and the software installed on the hard disk drive. If you got
them separately you will need to install everything yourself. Refer to the manuals that come with
them for instructions on how to install the hardware and software. The audio card comes with
Windows sound drivers and utility software. The fax modem comes with WinFax Lite. There is
more information about these options in Chapter 4.

Installing More Software
To install applications or utility software, follow the instructions that come with the software.
Most Windows programs install from within Windows. Install DOS programs from the MS-DOS
mode command line. Many programs have "Install" or "Setup" utility programs that explain in
detail how to install the program and often allow you to customize the installation according to
your preferences, or by selecting which parts to install.
Some Windows and DOS programs request information about your System hardware during the
installation process. Refer to the specifications below for information you're likely to need.
