Using the Application Recovery CDs
The Application Recovery CDs enable you to reinstall individual programs and device drivers, and to repair programs if they
become corrupted or are erased. Reinstalling an individual program or device driver may correct a problem you are
experiencing with your computer, peripheral hardware, or software. You may not need to reinstall the entire contents of
your hard disk. To reinstall all the programs that shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CDs. See
