1-16 Reviewing System Features
Software
NEC provides a variety of software applications and hardware utilities
with your system to let you take advantage of your hardware capabilities.
Preloaded Software
Your system comes preloaded with the Microsoft Windows 98 SE
operating system or with the Windows 2000/Windows NT
4.0 operating
system.
If you have a Windows 2000/Windows NT configuration, you must
choose the operating system you want to load. The operating system you
choose is your only operating system and is the one that the NEC Product
Recovery program restores.
The system also comes preloaded with the Intel Processor Serial Number
Control Utility. Use this utility to enable or disable the reading of the Intel
Pentium III processor serial number.
NEC Product Recovery CD
Your system comes with an NEC Product Recovery CD. Should a
problem occur that causes data loss or corruption, you can use the NEC
Product Recovery CD to restore the system to its original factory state. A
system restore loads the operating system and the factory-supplied
software that comes with the system. See “NEC Product Recovery” in
Chapter 3 for information about using the restore options.

provided applications, drivers, and utilities on your hard drive. Also use
the PowerMate Application and Driver CD to reinstall NEC Computers

Chapter 3 for information about installing software from the CD.

Driver CD includes the following applications:
