Using the Application Recovery CD(s)

The Application Recovery CD(s) allows you to reinstall individual applications and device drivers if they are corrupted or accidentally erased. Reinstalling an individual device driver or software title may correct a problem you are experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to recover the entire contents of your hard drive. If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD(s). See “Using the System Recovery CD(s)” on page 68.

You can also use the Application Recovery CD to install Windows NT® Workstation 4.0 drivers on your computer.

✍You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CD. The application will not run from MS-DOS®. If you have any questions on using the Application Recovery CD, contact Sony Customer Support.
