Using the Application Recovery CD(s)

The Application Recovery CDs allow you to reinstall individual applications and device drivers if they become corrupted or are 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).

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

To use the Application Recovery CD(s)

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

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

3When the Application Recovery menu appears, 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.
