Enhanced Compaq Support Software
CD Kit and Compaq Website
Compaq engineers rigorously test and debug software developed by Compaq
and third-party suppliers. They develop operating-system specific support
software, to ensure the highest level of performance, compatibility, and
reliability for Compaq workstations.
■
When making the transition to new or revised operating systems, it is
important to implement the support software designed for that operating
system. If you plan to run any of the following operating systems on
your computer, you must install corresponding Compaq device drivers
and utilities to ensure all features are supported and functioning
properly:
■
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
■
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
■
Microsoft Windows 95
Compaq has made locating, accessing, evaluating, and installing the latest
support software easier. There are two methods you can use to access support
software:
■
You can order the Compaq Support Software CD kit. This compact disc
contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable ROM images
needed to run your workstation.
■
You can download the software from the Compaq website
(
http://www.compaq.com
in the Compaq Services and Technical Help
area under Downloadables).
NOTE
: Both the CD and the web site include
The Locator
with

a comprehensive listing of the device drivers, utilities, flashable ROM
images, and more, categorized by operating system, computer family, and
model for easy retrieval.
