Replacing special software
Special software consists of items that you may have added to your previous
System Folder. After a clean installation, you should replace your special
software by reinstalling it.
IMPORTANT A clean installation renames your old System Folder “Previous
System Folder” and leaves it on the hard disk. To avoid keeping software that
may be damaged, you should reinstall special software from the original disks
rather than copying it from the Previous System Folder.
1 Use the original disks to reinstall any special software that was in your old System
Folder. This software may include such items as
m non-Apple fonts, printer drivers, control panels, and extensions
m networking and communications programs
m software that enables hardware, such as camera, scanner, and
monitor software
m Apple software that enhances the basic system software, such as QuickDraw
GX and PowerTalk
2 You may need to copy some application-related items from the Previous System Folder.
Look in the Previous System Folder for files or folders with the same name as
your application programs. These files or folders may include preferences,
help files, or other information used by your application programs. If you
need to use any items from the Previous System Folder, drag them one at a
time to your new System Folder, restarting the computer after you copy each
item. Check after each restart to make sure your computer is not having any
software problems. Be very careful not to copy over any of the files already in
the new System Folder with files from the Previous System Folder.
3 After you replace your special software and your computer is working normally, throw
away the Previous System Folder by dragging it to the Trash.
