About MIS Lab 1DO NOT TRY TO FIX THE COMPUTER!!

You will never be penalized because of technical problems of this classroom.

Make sure the Internet connection of your computer works!

Bring a flash (stick) memory for the in-class

About MIS Lab 2When the PC in our class is powered on and before it boots in to windows, a screen comes up that will allow you to chose which operating system you want to load.

About MIS Lab 3All you have to do is select the first choice: "Windows XP professional". The second is "Windows XP professional with Office 2003". Thus, if you do not see Office 2007, you need to turn off the PC and then, restart it.
