DEVICES SUPPORTED:
HP Mobile Thin Clients
ENHANCEMENTS:

PREREQUISITES:
- This add-on requires uncompressed free space on the flash memory (Drive C:) and uncompressed free space in the temporary folder. These space requirements must be met in order to successfully deploy this add-on.
* Space required on the flash memory after installation: 26.0 MB (with NTFS Compression)
* Space required in the temporary folder for installation: 15.0 MB
- If there is not enough space on the RAM Disk (Z:), it may be necessary to increase the RAM Disk up to its maximum size to deploy the add-on. After installation, HP recommends that the RAM drive be set back to its original size.
NOTE: Before increasing or decreasing the size of the RAM Disk, reboot the machine so that unwanted changes do not get committed to the flash memory.
- If there is still not enough space on the RAM Disk to deploy the add-on, HP recommends that the system %TEMP% and %TMP% variables be temporarily re-defined to either the (C:) drive or a network share on the deployment server and that the setup program be executed from the deployment server.

Do not forget to check with our site as often as possible in order to stay updated on the latest drivers, software and games.
Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed a wrong driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
