Registering with Compaq and Microsoft
The registration screen allows you to register with Microsoft and
Compaq from the same display. When you have entered your
personal information (name, address, and so on), you can choose
to register with Micosoft or Compaq, or both.
To register the Windows operating system with Microsoft, fill in
the first check box. To register your computer with Compaq, fill
the second check box. We recommend that you check both boxes.
When you've filled in the necessary registration information,
click the Next button to move to the next screen.
When you have finished, you are ready to set up an account with
an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Refer to the next page.
