Note
You may be required to enter your Windows Product key. To locate it, look on the
Certificate of Authenticity packaged with the Microsoft Windows manual, or look for a
sticker in the battery compartment.
If you have any connection problems with your modem, try redialing. If that doesn’t
work, you can skip registration for now.
To register your computer
Be sure to register your computer. Registering is free and fast, and it ensures you will
receive quicker, more personalized support. The information you provide during
registration will be used to provide you with better products and services.
You can register while setting up Windows, or later in any of three ways: by modem, by
phone, or by fax. For some countries and models, an HP notebook registration icon is
available on the desktop.
By modem
If you have Windows 98 or XP, you are automatically prompted to register. To register
by modem, see that the phone is connected, then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you have Windows 2000, you are not prompted to register, but you can register by
modem if you double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop or click
the Register link in the Windows 2000 welcome screen. See that the phone line is
connected and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you choose not to register right away, you can register by modem later by double-
clicking the Registration icon on the desktop (if available).
Note
In Windows 2000, if the registration application is launched from a reminder (e.g., from
the Microsoft Task Scheduler), it may fail to find a phone number for your country. In
this case, double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop and the
application will succeed in finding a phone number to register successfully.
Note
If you encounter a busy signal while attempting to register by modem, the registration
client may suspend with an hourglass icon. Click the Back button and dial-out again.
If your computer does not have a built-in modem, you can register after you set up a PC
card modem or an external modem—or you can register by phone or fax.
