Reinstalling all your original software
If you want to restore the Macintosh Performa system software and
application programs to the state they were in when you first purchased your
computer, follow these instructions.
Note: If you have installed newer versions of programs that came with your
computer, you may need to reinstall the newer versions after you use the
Restore All Software program. All documents and programs that didn’t come
with your computer (all the files that you have added to your hard disk, such
as letters and reports) remain on your hard disk when you reinstall your other
software using the Restore All Software program. Programs that you added to
your computer after you bought it do not need to be reinstalled.
Before you begin, you must start up your computer using the Macintosh
Performa CD: Performa Software. For instructions, see “Using the CD-ROM
Disc as Your Startup Device,” earlier in this chapter.
To restore all the software that came with your computer:
1
Click the Restore All Software icon in the Launcher window.
2
In the dialog box that appears, click the Continue button or press the Return key on
your keyboard.
Restoring begins. A status box appears and keeps you informed of progress
during the restoration, which takes several minutes.
