... for driver installation when restoring your system

If you should need to re-install your system, we urgently
recommend that, as far as possible, you backup all files before
complete reinstallation.

If you have carried out your complete reinstallation using the
"Product Recovery CD ROM" and the "Drivers & Utility CD/DVD",
as described in the general user manual, and one of the
components of your system is still not working, you can put this
right, provided that it is a driver problem and there is no
mechanical damage.
To do this, proceed as follows:

• Insert the "Drivers & Utility" CD/DVD in the appropriate drive.

After the CD/DVD auto-starts, the "Fujitsu Siemens Help
Center" appears. Close this with "Exit".

• With the "Drivers & Utility" CD/DVD inserted, click on "Start".

• Right click on "Desktop".

• Click on "Properties". "System properties" appears.

• By clicking on "Hardware" you can open up the "Device

manager".

• The "Device manager" shows an overview of your computer’s

hardware. This is where you can update the drivers (or the
software) for hardware devices or change the hardware
settings.

• The faulty driver is normally indicated by a yellow question

mark (?).

• Right click on this line.

• Select

"Update driver" in the menu that appears.

• Continue with "Install software automatically

(recommended)" and confirm with "Next".

• If necessary, follow the instructions on the screen.
