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 70.

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

To use the Application Recovery CD(s)

1.Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, close all applications.

2.When the Windows® desktop appears, insert the Sony Application Recovery CD in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. The Application Recovery utility loads automatically.

3.When the Application Recovery menu appears, select the icon for the application you want to restore and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery process.

Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two Application Recovery CDs, insert the first CD to run the Application Recovery program. You may be prompted to insert the second CD, depending on the application you wish to restore.

Recovering Microsoft® Word 2000

If you recover your operating system using the System Recovery CD, Microsoft Word 2000 will not be recovered. Use the supplied Word 2000 CD- ROM to recover this application.
