To set up Windows

Your HP notebook has Microsoft Windows—either Windows 98, Windows 2000, or
Windows XP—preinstalled on the hard disk drive. The first time you turn on your
computer, a Windows Setup program will automatically run so that you can customize
your setup.
Before you begin, connect the AC adapter to your notebook, since your battery may not
be sufficiently charged to complete the Windows setup. Also, be sure to connect the
notebook to a phone line—see "To connect a phone line" on page 25.
1. Press the blue standby button. The Windows Setup program starts automatically.
2. Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen.
During setup, you are prompted to enter a user name and accept the License
Agreement.
You can also register your computer at this time. Follow the instructions on the
screen during setup.
3. If your computer has a modem, check the modem's country or region settings:
Windows 98: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Modems, then
click Dialing Properties.
Windows 2000: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Phone and
Modem Options, then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
Windows XP: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and
Modem Options, then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
