DESCRIPTION: Compaq Diagnostics for Windows examines your computer system to

HOW TO USE:

1. 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.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 
Press 'Space Bar' to confirm the unpacking of files creates a new directory 
folder in the download directory.  All files are unpacked into this 
newly created directory.

To create the three optional installation diskettes, run MAKEDISK.BAT and 
follow on-screen instructions.

          - Select Next
          - Select Finish

       d) Restart the computer for the changes to be in effect
   
   To install non-interactively ("silently"):

         three (3) optional installation diskettes into a directory on the hard drive.
