Software

Your computer comes with several software programs which can help you solve problems or find answers to your questions.

Diagnostics

Your computer comes with a diagnostic program which can help identify problems you may have with your system. You can run the PC Doctor diagnostic program from the PC-Doctor folder in the Windows programs menu or from the Product Recovery and Diagnostics disc.

The Windows version of PC Doctor works through the Windows operating system to find system software problems. The Product Recovery and Diagnostics disc contains the MS-DOS version of the PC Doctor diagnostics program, which performs tests directly on the hardware. It is important to run both versions of the PC Doctor program before you contact the IBM HelpCenter.

IBM Update Connector

This program allows you to connect to the IBM PC HelpCenter to receive updates for some of the software that came with your system and download them. Once you have received the files, you can begin the automated installation process. IBM Update Connector is available to registered customers during the warranty period at no additional charge. Telephone line charges may apply.
