If your computer is not working properly, try the following options to correct 
the problem:

■

Reinstalling device drivers. For more information, see “Reinstalling device 
drivers” on page 221.

■

Troubleshooting. For more information, see “Troubleshooting” on 
page 241.

If the options above do not correct the problem, you can use the System 
Restoration Kit to reinstall Windows and other software.

The System Restoration Kit steps you through reinstalling Windows 98, 
Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. If you are reinstalling 
Windows 98,  Windows Me,  or  Windows XP,  the  System Restoration Kit 
automatically reinstalls the hardware device drivers and some programs as 
well. If you are reinstalling Windows 2000, reinstall the hardware device 
drivers by following the instructions in “Reinstalling device drivers” on 
page 221 and reinstall your programs by following the instructions in 
“Reinstalling programs” on page 238. You can install the remaining programs 
using the CDs that came with your computer.

Place Disc 2 of the System Restoration Kit in the CD/DVD drive. If you have 
an additional recordable/rewritable CD drive, make sure you do not put 
the System Restoration CD in it.

Restart the computer.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

For more information on reinstalling Windows, click Start, 
then select Help and Support or Help.
