Once the Resource CD applet is installed, launch it from the Start menu. You must also use the actual CD.

Resource CD Interface

Once the Resource CD is installed, an introduction message for the Resource CD appears. You can check the option to prevent the message from appearing on future use.

After the welcome screen, the Resource CD layout is displayed in a custom browser window. The Resource CD automatically detects the installed hardware and places a check mark next to the specific hardware for the computer.
