box (select models only).

2–2 Getting Started

Setting Up the Computer

When you first turn on the computer, a series of

startup screens appears. For some models, you

choose your language: click an option to select

your language, and then click OK. Confirm your

selection by clicking Yes. Wait while the PC makes

preparations. (It may take up to 15 minutes to set

up the language on the PC.) To proceed with the

initial Microsoft

Windows

setup, you must

answer a few additional questions.

Registering with Compaq

As part of the initial setup in some

countries/regions, you are prompted to register the

computer with Compaq. It’s important to register so

that you can be notified of changes and updates to

the Compaq Presario.

We recommend that you register the Compaq

Presario at this time. You can register any of

these ways:

■When you first start up your computer, follow

the onscreen instructions and register as soon

as you have a modem connection.

■Double-click the Registration icon on your

desktop, and follow the onscreen instructions.

The registration icon appears on your

desktop only if you did not register during

the initial setup of your computer.
