process can cause irreversible file damage. Before starting the initial software load

process, ensure that you have the following:

♦Extensa 660 User’s Guide - Contains latest software installation instructions.

♦AC Adapter/Access to AC power - Although the battery pack may have some

charge, it may be insufficient for the entire set up. Loss of power during setup

can cause irreversible file damage.

♦Certificate of Authenticity - You will need to enter the number from your

Windows 95 Certificate of Authenticity during Windows 95 Setup. This

certificate is part of the Windows 95 documentation kit. You need this number

even if you are installing Windows for Workgroups.

♦Language - During initial setup you choose the following:

- Language for Windows displays

- Language for keyboard installed

♦Printer type - As part of the Windows setup, you are prompted to choose a

printer. Microsoft® includes the files for many different printers. If you cannot

find your printer in the list, you will need the floppy disk with the printer driver

provided by the printer manufacturer. If you do not want to install a printer at

this time, you can skip this part of the setup.

♦ Operating System Type- During initial setup you must choose which,

operating system to load, either Windows 95 or MS-DOS® and Windows for

Workgroups (DOS+WFW). This choice is final. You will not be able to change the

operating system after installation is complete. For most users, Windows 95 is

the better choice. You might want to load DOS+WFW under the following

circumstances.

- Your corporation or workgroup may have guidelines that require use of

DOS+WFW. Check with your manager to determine the policy at your

company.

- The software that controls your local area network may not be compatible

with Windows 95. Check with your network administrator to determine

whether Windows 95 is compatible.

- Although most software that is compatible with DOS+WFW is also

compatible with Windows 95, it is possible that the existing software you

are using will not run in Windows 95. If you have a critical software

application that you intend to copy to your new computer, check with

the manufacturer of the software to determine whether your application

is compatible with Windows 95.
