8 HP Media Center PC Getting Started Guide

Creating passwords

Passwords help protect your PC and information

from unauthorized access and help ensure that

information on the PC stays private and secure. Use

the following list as a basic guide when choosing

your password:

■ Choose a password that is easy for you to

remember but difficult for others to guess.

■ Choose a long password (minimum of 6

characters).

■ Use a combination of uppercase and

lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

■ Don’t use personal information that others can

easily figure out, such as your birthday, child’s

name, or phone number.

■ Don’t write down your password.

Installing Software and Hardware Devices

After you set up the PC, you may wish to install

additional software programs or hardware devices.

Keep in mind these important guidelines:

■ Before installation, make a restore point using

the Microsoft System Restore program.

■ Click Start, All Programs, PC Help &

Tools, and then System Restore.

■ The restore point is a snapshot of your PC

configuration. By using System Restore, you

ensure that you have a point to return to

before an issue occurred. For information

about System Restore, refer to the Microsoft

Web site at:

http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide

■ Choose software that is compatible with your

PC — check the operating system, memory,

and other requirements listed for the new

software for compatibility with your PC.

■ Install the new software according to the

directions provided by the software

manufacturer. Check the manufacturer’s

documentation or customer service

information for help if you need it.

■ For antivirus software, uninstall the existing

software program before reinstalling it or

installing a new antivirus program.

n

After you’ve

completed

registering, you may

install any software

programs that may

have come on CDs or

DVDs included in the

PC box and are not

preinstalled.

n

Only use licensed

original software.

Installing copied

software may be

illegal, may result in

an unstable

installation, or may

infect your PC with a

virus.
