Software

NEC provides a variety of software applications and hardware utilities with your system to let you take advantage of your hardware capabilities.

Preloaded Software

Your system comes preloaded with the Microsoft® Windows® 98 SE operating system or with the Windows® 2000/Windows NT® 4.0 operating system.

If you have a Windows 2000/Windows NT configuration, you must choose the operating system you want to load. The operating system you choose is your only operating system and is the one that the NEC Product Recovery program restores.

NECC-provided applications, drivers, and utilities come loaded on the hard drive. You can install some of the applications from icons on the Windows desktop. Software available on the system includes the following applications:

!Microsoft® Internet Explorer Browser

Internet Explorer provides a top-notch browser with preloaded links for easy access to the world wide web. Also use Internet Explorer to access one of the many new browser-based utilities.

!Norton AntiVirus™ 2000 Software

Protect the system from viruses by running Norton’s virus scan software.

!Adobe® Acrobat® Reader

Use the Adobe Acrobat Reader to read and print portable document format (PDF) files found on the Internet and PDF documents included with various software applications.
