Backup and Recovery in Windows XP
Reinstalling Software Programs and Drivers
If a program or driver preinstalled at the factory is accidentally erased or is damaged, the Application and Driver Recovery tool allows you to reinstall it.
✎Software not provided with this computer must be reinstalled from the disc provided by the manufacturer or downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site.
✎Before reinstalling the program, be sure it is fully uninstalled.
The Application and Driver Recovery tool replaces corrupted system files and reinstalls deleted system files within
the program.
■In most cases, if the program you are reinstalling is still on your computer, the reinstallation process does not affect your personal settings.
■In all cases, if a program has been deleted from your computer, the reinstallation process reinstalls the program or utility to the factory image but cannot restore your personal settings.
