My files are corrupted or deleted and I want to recover applications or drivers that came with
my computer

The Application Recovery CDs allow you to reinstall individual applications and device drivers if they
are corrupted or accidentally erased. Reinstalling an individual device driver or software title may
correct a problem you are experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to recover the
entire contents of your hard drive. If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that shipped with
your computer, use the System Recovery CD(s).

You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CD(s). The application will not run from
DOS. If you have any questions on using the Application Recovery CD(s), contact Sony Customer
Support.

To use the Application Recovery CD(s)

1. Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, close all applications.

2. When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Sony Application Recovery CD in the DVD-ROM

drive. The Application Recovery utility loads automatically.

3. When the Application Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the

recovery process.

Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two Application Recovery CDs,

insert the first CD to run the Application Recovery program. You may be prompted to insert the second CD,
depending on the application you wish to restore.
