■ A version of Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows
NT Workstation that is different from the version included
with your computer
Compaq has made the task of locating, accessing, evaluating,
and installing the latest support software easier. There are three
methods you can use to access support software:
■ You can order the Support Software CD for Compaq
Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products. This compact
disc contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable
ROM images needed to run MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows
3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT Workstation, and IBM
OS/2 on your Compaq commercial desktop product.
■ You can download the software from the Compaq World
Wide Web site (www.compaq.com).
✎
Both the CD and the web site include The Locator with
Decision Support, a comprehensive listing of the device
drivers, utilities, flashable ROM images, and more,
categorized by operating system, personal computer
family, and model for easy retrieval. Decision Support
provides detailed information for each piece of support
software, including descriptions, features, enhancements,
dependencies, and update criticalities.
■ You can purchase backup diskettes.
If you choose to purchase the Support Software CD, you have
two options:
■ You can purchase a single CD-ROM that gives you one-
time access to the latest support software (North America
only, Compaq part number 272505-001).
■ You can purchase a yearly subscription that delivers up to
12 monthly CD-ROMs (Compaq part number 183426-xxx).
The annual subscription ensures your continuous access to the
latest developments.
To order the CD or backup diskettes, call the appropriate
number found in the “Worldwide Telephone Numbers” table in
Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.”
