Computer Setup and PC Diagnostics are both pre-installed on the Diagnostics Partition. The diskettes in this SoftPaq can be used to update these utilities on the Diagnostics Partition or to restore them if the Diagnostics Partition has been destroyed. Both utilities can be run by pressing F10 during power-up or reboot when prompted in the lower right corner of the screen on some models or when the cursor jumps to the upper right corner of the screen on other models. Or they can be run directly from these diskettes. Computer Setup/VP allows the user to configure security and power management settings as well as system resources (DMA, IRQ, I/O Ports, and Memory). It is specific to the Deskpro models mentioned above. Personal Computer Diagnostics contains programs that can test and inspect the state of the computer and its devices. It is used with the Deskpro models mentioned above, as well as other Compaq desktops and portables. Enhancements/Fixes: - Personal Computer Diagnostics was updated to add support for the new node address range for Compaq Network Interface Controllers. - Computer Setup/VP remains unchanged at the same version as in the superseded SoftPaq. HOW TO USE: 1. Obtain three (3) formatted 1.44MB diskettes and place the first one in one of your diskette drives. 2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive. The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 3. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. Entering "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files creates a new directory folder in the download directory. All files are unpacked into this newly created directory. 4.
