Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software

• Do not be tempted to make changes to your Windows Registry unless you are very sure of what you

are doing, otherwise you will risk severely damaging your system.

• Don’t open your computer or undertake any repair or upgrade work if you are not comfortable with

what you are doing.

• Read the documentation. We can assume, since you are reading this that you are looking at the com-

puter’s manual, but what about any new peripheral devices you have just purchased? Many problems
are caused by the installation of new hardware and/or software. Always refer to the documentation of
any new hardware and/or software, and pay particular attention to files entitled “READ ME” or
READ ME FIRST”.

• When installing a new device always make sure the device is powered on, and in many cases you will

need to restart the computer. Always check that all the cables are correctly connected.

• Make sure you have installed the drivers for any new hardware you have installed (latest driver files

are usually available to download from vendor’s websites).
