Software Setup
Getting Started
2–5
If you connected your modem during the
“Step 3: Connect the
Modem”
section in
Chapter 1, “Hardware Setup,”
or have
connected the notebook to the Internet by another method,
the Connecting to online registration window is displayed.
This window describes the progress of your registration.
If you are unable to send your registration, you can do so at any
time after software setup is complete. For more information about
connecting to the Internet, see the
“Connect to the Internet”
section in
Chapter 3, “Next Steps.”
Create User Accounts
In the Who will use this computer? window, you can create
a Windows user account for each person who might use the
notebook. User accounts are not available in QuickPlay.
Windows user accounts enable each notebook user to create a
personal Windows notebook environment. A user’s Windows
environment might include such customizations as display and
security settings, personal files, screen savers, and the appearance
of the Windows desktop.
When you turn on the notebook in Windows, a prompt to select
a Windows user account is displayed. When a Windows user
account is selected, Windows opens according to the preferences
set by that user.
The names you enter in the Who will use this computer? window
text fields are displayed on the list of user accounts displayed at
Windows startup.
