Setting Up Your Studio XPS™ Laptop

Set Up Windows Vista®

Your computer is pre-configured with Windows Vista. To set up Windows Vista for the first time, follow the instructions on the screen. These steps are mandatory and may take up to 15 minutes to complete. The screens will take you through several procedures including accepting license agreements, setting preferences, and setting up an Internet connection.

Connecting to the Internet (Optional)

NOTE: Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and ISP offerings vary by country.

To connect to the Internet, you need a network connection or an external modem and an ISP.

NOTE: If an external USB modem is not a part of your original order, you can purchase one from the Dell website at www.dell.com.

Setting Up a Wired Internet Connection

If you are using a dial-up connection, connect the telephone line to the external USB modem (optional) and to the telephone wall connector before you set up your Internet connection.

If you are using a DSL or cable/satellite modem connection, contact your ISP or cellular telephone service for setup instructions and see “Setting Up Your Internet Connection”
