If you use Compaq SmartStart to install the operating system, the drivers are
installed automatically. When you select the Operating System Installation
feature from the System Configuration Utility main menu, the utility provides
prompts for simplifying the installation.
First, the utility prompts you to select the correct operating system. Use the
arrow keys to select the operating system; then, press Enter. The utility then
prompts you for the operating system CD or diskette.
Loading Compaq Device Drivers
Compaq device drivers are located on the Compaq SmartStart and Support
Software CD. They are also available for download from the Compaq website:
http://www.compaq.com
IMPORTANT: Always check README files on Compaq SmartStart or any software
support diskettes or CDs. These files can contain information about important software
updates.
Microsoft Windows NT Device Drivers from Compaq
Drivers that support Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 are available either on the
Compaq Support Software Diskette for Microsoft products (NT SSD) or on
the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD. SSD drivers may be newer,
and they have support for new functionality or problem fixes. If you use
Compaq SmartStart to install your operating system, the drivers are installed
automatically. Otherwise, you can use Compaq SmartStart to create the
Compaq SSD for Microsoft Windows NT to support a manual installation of
NT drivers.
For more information on driver installation, run the README.BAT file in the
root directory of the SSD for Microsoft Windows NT. This action will load the
WinHelp file NTREADME.HLP.
