learning the basics    

 To use your software, you must know how to use the mouse and 

keyboard. If necessary, see “using the mouse” on page 19 or see “using the 
keyboard” on page 21. 

The operation of your PC is controlled by two kinds of software: 

• 

The Microsoft Windows XP operating system, which displays the desktop on 
the monitor and controls your PC’s hardware, peripherals, and software 
applications. 

• 

Software programs, such as a word processing program, which performs 
specific functions. 

Information about using software and about the Microsoft Windows XP 
operating system is in the printed manuals and online Help. For Microsoft 
Windows, you can also press the Help button, labeled with a question mark icon 
on your keyboard (select models only), to open the built-in Help and Support 
Center. For help with specific software, refer to the onscreen Help within the 
program.

Software programs included with the PC may vary by model and by 
country/region.
