Reinstalling software programs and drivers
If a program or driver preinstalled at the factory is accidentally erased or is damaged, Recovery Manager
allows you to reinstall it.

Software not provided with this computer must be reinstalled from the disc provided by the
manufacturer or downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site.

Recovery Manager replaces corrupted system files and reinstalls deleted system files within the program.

does not affect your personal settings.
