Using the Application Recovery CD(s)

The Application Recovery CD(s) allows you to reinstall individual 
applications and device drivers if they are corrupted or accidentally 
erased. Reinstalling an individual device driver or software title may 
correct a problem you are experiencing with your computer, and you may 
not need to recover the entire contents of your hard drive. If you do need 
to reinstall all the software titles that shipped with your computer, use the 
System Recovery CD(s). See “Using the System Recovery CD(s)” on 
page 77. 

You can also use the Application Recovery CD to install Windows NT® 
Workstation 4.0 drivers on your computer. 

To use the Application Recovery CD(s)

1

Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, close all 
applications.

2

When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Sony Application 
Recovery CD in the DVD-ROM drive. The Application Recovery 
utility loads automatically.

3

When the Application Recovery menu appears, select the icon for the 
application you want to restore and then follow the on-screen 
instructions to complete the recovery process.

✍

You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CD. The application will not run from 

DOS. If you have any questions on using the Application Recovery CD, contact Sony Customer 

Support.

✍

Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two Application 

Recovery CDs, insert the first CD to run the Application Recovery program. You may be 

prompted to insert the second CD, depending on the application you wish to restore.
