Introducing Your Computer
Setting Up the Computer
In Windows 2000, if the registration application is launched from a reminder (e.g., from
the Microsoft Task Scheduler), it may fail to find a phone number for your country. In
this case, double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop and the
application will succeed in finding a phone number to register successfully.
If you encounter a busy signal while attempting to register by modem, the registration
client may suspend with an hourglass icon. Click the Back button and dial-out again.
If your computer does not have a built-in modem, you can register after you set up a PC
card modem or an external modem—or you can register by phone or fax.
By phone
You can call your HP Customer Care Center and register by phone. See "To call HP for
service and support" on page 95 for the phone number.
By fax
If a printer is connected to your computer, you can print a registration form and fax it to
HP. Double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop (if available), and
print the registration form. You will find the fax number on the form.
By completing registration, you will:
• Record your ownership of the computer with Hewlett-Packard and gain access to
service, support, and information.
• Record your ownership of the Windows 98 or XP operating system with Microsoft. If
you have Windows 2000, please contact Microsoft separately to register the operating
system.
