Reinstalling applications
Applications preinstalled or preloaded on the computer can be reinstalled by using the Recoverydisc
or a third-party software disc.
NOTE In most cases, the applications preloaded on the computer, such as those available in
the Software Setup utility, can be reinstalled from your hard drive. To access the Software
Setup utility, select Start > All Programs > Software Setup.
The application reinstallation process replaces corrupted system files within the application and
reinstalls deleted system files within the application.
●
In most cases: If the application you are reinstalling is still installed on the computer, the
reinstallation process does not affect your settings within the application.
●
In all cases: If an application has been deleted from the computer, the reinstallation process
reinstalls the application or utility to the factory image but cannot restore your personal settings.
Reinstalling applications from the hard drive
To reinstall a preloaded application or utility from your hard drive:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Software Setup, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
2. When you are prompted to select the software you want to reinstall, select or clear the
appropriate check boxes.
