Step 6: Register your notebook
Be sure to register your computer. Registering is free and fast, and ensures you will
receive quicker, more personalized support. The information you provide during
registration allows us to provide you with better products and services.
Registering your computer does the following:
•
Records your ownership of the computer with Hewlett-Packard and provides access
to service, support, and information.
•
Records your ownership of the Windows 98 or XP operating system with Microsoft.
If you have Windows 2000, please contact Microsoft separately to register the
operating system.
You can register while setting up Windows, or later in any of three ways: by modem, by
phone, or by fax. For some countries and models, an HP notebook registration icon is
available on the desktop.
By modem
If your computer does not have a built-in modem, you can register after you set up a PC
Card modem or an external modem—or you can register by phone or fax.
•
If you are not prompted to register, you can click the Register button in the welcome
screen. Make sure the phone line is connected to the modem port and follow the
onscreen instructions.
If you choose not to register right away, you can do so by modem later by double-
clicking the Registration icon on the desktop (if available). Make sure the phone line is
connected and follow the onscreen instructions. The icon disappears after you register.
By phone
You can register by calling your HP Customer Care Center. See “To contact HP for
support or service” on page 188 for the phone number.
By fax
If you have a printer connected to your computer, you can print a registration form and
fax it to HP. Double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop (if
available), and print the registration form. You will find the fax number on the form.
