Using Instant Support

When you need assistance to solve a PC-related problem, use HP Instant Support

over the Internet with a Support analyst who works with you on solving the
problem.

1 Click Start on the taskbar.
2 Click Help and Support.
3 Click Connect to Customer Support.
4 Click Start a New Request.
5 Follow the onscreen instructions to run a test or submit a problem. (Your PC must
be connected to the Internet to submit a request.)

to bring you important information for your PC:
•
Product notices
