2 What’s new?
Your computer includes the new Windows® 7 operating system. Windows 7 has several new
program and feature enhancements, such as:
■ Faster startup
■ Updated Wi-Fi network controls
■ Customizable taskbar
■ Fewer pop-ups and notifications
■ Support for more multimedia formats
The Stardock MyColors program (select models only) offers a customizable desktop theme
that transforms the look and feel of your basic Windows desktop. The new desktop includes
custom icons, visual styles (Start button and taskbar), and a corresponding wallpaper.
✎
To change back to the standard Windows theme, open the Stardock MyColors program
and select the standard Windows theme.
HP QuickWeb software is an optional, instant-on environment that is separate from your
Windows operating system. QuickWeb allows you to rapidly access certain programs
without the need to start your operating system. You will enjoy this feature if you browse the
Internet, view and send e-mail, view digital photos, listen to music, or keep in touch through
instant messages or Skype. QuickWeb is ready to go within seconds of pressing the power
button.

For detailed information on using QuickWeb, refer to Chapter 3, “Using HP QuickWeb
