System Recovery

Reinstalling Applications

Applications preinstalled or preloaded on your notebook can be reinstalled by using the Recovery disc or a third-party software disc.

In most cases, the applications preloaded on your notebook, such as those available in the Software Setup utility, can be reinstalled from your hard drive. To access the Software Setup utility, select Start > All Programs > Software Setup.

The application reinstallation process replaces corrupted system files within the application and reinstalls deleted system files within the application.

In most cases: If the application you are reinstalling is still installed on your notebook, the reinstallation process does not affect your settings within the application.

In all cases: If an application has been deleted from your notebook, the reinstallation process reinstalls the application or utility to the factory image but cannot restore your personal settings.
