For more information about completing the setup procedures for preinstalled
software, refer to the Software Installation Guide included with your
workstation.
SmartStart for Workstations
If the preinstalled software on your workstation has been deleted, you can
install the operating system and support software using SmartStart for
Workstations. SmartStart for Workstations is an easy-to-follow program that
streamlines operating system and support software setup for the Compaq
Professional Workstation. SmartStart provides an alternate method for
installing the preinstalled software components.
The Compaq SSD for Windows NT (NTSSD), included on the SmartStart for
Workstations CD, contains support software and utilities that enable you to take
advantage of specific capabilities offered on the Compaq Professional
Workstation. This support software is provided for use with Windows NT
Workstation 4.0 on Compaq hardware only. The NTSSD will automatically
install applicable software drivers on your system. To download the latest
NTSSD, see the Compaq website at
http://www.compaq.com
in the Compaq
Services and Technical Help area under Downloadables.
You can install drivers manually without the help of the NTSSD. To obtain the
latest drivers, including drivers for Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0,
Windows NT Workstation 3.51, and Windows 95, access the Compaq website
at
http://www.compaq.com
in the Compaq Services and Technical Help area
under Downloadables.
For information on using SmartStart for Workstations or the NTSSD, refer to
the Software Installation Guide included with your workstation.
