System Software

Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you
are re-configuring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to the following oper-
ating systems:
• Microsoft Windows XP Home & Professional Editions
• Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
If you are installing new system software, or are re-configuring your computer for a different system, you will need to install
the appropriate drivers. Drivers are programs which act as an interface between the computer and a hardware component
e.g. a wireless network module. It is very important that you install the drivers in the order listed in

system hasn't been properly configured (your service representative may have already done that for you), refer to
to Install" on page 4 - 15
