Important Notes

•Ensure that the computer is undocked and that no PC Cards are inserted into the PC Card slots

while installing drivers.

•Any item with an asterisk is considered optional and may not be needed by all users.

•Any first step that begins with “Double-click SETUP”assumes that My Computer or Explorer

is used to navigate to the directory where the files are located after their extraction from the

SoftPaq.

•These SoftPaqs are the minimum required for Microsoft Windows 98. They may be

superceded, as noted on the Compaq Web site.

Before docking, ensure that all of the specific drivers and support software for the computer are

installed. See the “Compaq Drivers and Enhancements”section in Appendix A for the list of
