To install a driver or utility from your Drivers and Utilities CD:

not, start Microsoft ® Windows ® Explorer, click your CD drive
directory to display the CD contents, and then double-click the
autocd.exe file. If a welcome screen appears, click Next. The first time
that you run the CD, it might prompt you to install some setup files.
Click OK and follow the instructions on the screen to continue.

preferred language for the driver or utility (if available).
A welcome screen appears.

5 Under Search Criteria, select the appropriate categories from the
System Model, Operating System, Device Type, and Topic pull-down
menus.
A link or links appear(s) for the specific drivers or utilities used by your
computer.

the driver or utility that you want to install.
7 Click the Install button (if present) to begin installing the driver or
utility. At the welcome screen, follow the screen prompts to complete
the installation.
