Installing Device Drivers

A compatible device driver is a requirement to ensure correct operation and performance of each component in your computer. Lenovo provide all drivers that you need in a driver CD. Follow the following steps to install drivers on your computer. (Assuming the CD-ROM is “E:” Disk and current OS is Windows Vista™)

Notes:

Adhere to the following sequences, otherwise might compromise the system’s stability and audio or video effect, even cause you to reinstall the operating system.

Most installations require a reboot to update the driver.
