lol not quite; you can;t recover programs from an application disk.
Starry:
The application disk will install ... junk most likely.
Don't use it unless it's driver software for your video card/audio etc etc...in which case it'll tell you when you pop it in.
If it's a Dell Application disk... use it, as it'll update your hardware and software applications.
There IS a way
thank you both very much for your help...both responses helped me get things straight in my head.
Dan I think you are right about the application recovery disk installing junk. Your advice about the driver software is probably what I will do. I did get over my fear of putting in the CD after reading your post...and yes it gives a list.....but now here is my dilemma
I am trying to reinstall my anti-virus protection....it tells me I am missing the "application" for the program......but the application recovery disk doesn't list one
It gives me the options of either installing an application for
1. anti-virus networking or 2. installing the application for the original anti-virus that came with the computer....which I no longer have....I am trying to install "Kaspersky" on an HP if that helps..
any other info you can give me would be much appreciated.......and I am open to listen to anyone else that might advise.
Thank you so much.
