Application and Driver Recovery If the problem with the PC seems to be with only one program or one driver, it may be that the application program or the driver program is damaged. You can reinstall individual factory- installed application programs and driver programs using the HP Application Recovery program (select models only); see “Application Recovery“ on page 101.

| |
Recovery program as a last resort to reinstall |
| |
the software. Perform System Recovery using |
| |

| |

Before using the HP PC System Recovery program or the HP Application Recovery program, use System Restore.
