Adding New Hardware/Software
• Do not be tempted to make changes to your Windows Registry unless you are very sure of what you are
doing, otherwise you will risk severely damaging your system.
• Don’t open your computer or undertake any repair or upgrade work if you are not comfortable with what
you are doing (please check with your service representative before undertaking any upgrade procedures to
find out if this will VOID your warranty).
• Read the documentation. We can assume, since you are reading this that you are looking at the computer’s
manual, but what about any new peripheral devices you have just purchased? Many problems are caused by
the installation of new hardware and/or software. Always refer to the documentation of any new hardware
and/or software, and pay particular attention to files entitled “READ ME” or “READ ME FIRST”.
• When adding a new device always make sure the device is powered on, and in many cases you will need to
restart the computer. Always check that all the cables are correctly connected.
• Make sure you have installed the drivers for any new hardware you have added (latest driver files are usu-
ally available to download from vendor’s websites).
