and applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet and
database programs) have their own manuals, so please
consult the appropriate manuals.
Drivers
If you are installing/re-installing new system software, you
will need to install the appropriate drivers. Drivers are pro-
grams which act as an interface between the computer and
a hardware component e.g. a wireless network module. It is
very important that you install the drivers in the order listed
in
Table 6, on page 21
. You will be unable to use most ad-
vanced controls until the necessary drivers and utilities are
properly installed.
