How Does It Work?

The Compaq Service Connection software operates in the background while you are performing other tasks on your Notebook when you are online. You will only be aware that it is working when a Notice is displayed.

If you are using your modem when the Compaq Service Connection software initiates an update, it waits until the modem is idle before downloading any information. You are not interrupted while using your Web browser or e-mail programs.
