Updating your operating system

Microsoft makes updates available for various operating systems through the
Microsoft Windows Update Web site. The Web site automatically determines what
Windows updates are available for your specific computer and lists those updates
only. Updates could include security fixes, new versions of Windows components
(such as media player), fixes to other portions of the Windows operating system,
or enhancements.
Refer to the Access Help online help system for more information about updating
your operating system. See "Access Help" on page 62 for instructions on how to
open the online help system.

Installing other operating systems

If you install your own operating system, follow the instructions that come with
your operating system CDs or diskettes. Remember to install all device drivers
after you install your operating system. Installation instructions are usually
provided with the device drivers.

Updating your antivirus software

Your computer comes with the Symantec Client Security software you can use to
detect and eliminate viruses. You should run the LiveUpdate application to get the
latest updates from the Symantec Client Security Web site. LiveUpdate will
download the latest virus list and Symantec Client Security will use the new list
when it scans your computer the next time.
Refer to the Access Help online help system for more information about updating
your antivirus software. See "Access Help" on page 62 for instructions on how to
open the online help system.

Shutting down the computer

When you are ready to turn off your computer, always follow the shutdown
procedure for your operating system. This prevents the loss of unsaved data or
damage to your software programs. To shut down the Microsoft Windows
operating system click Shut Down from the Start menu. Select Shut Down from
the drop down menu and click OK.
