Choose Strategy
Depending on your software and how you use your PC, you will
have several options from which to choose. It is a good idea to
select your strategy on the basis of how critical your PC is to you,
your household, or your business. For example, if you only use your
PC to play games, it is unlikely that your PC is critical to your
functioning.
Some strategies from which you may choose:
- No action at all. You might choose this option if year 2000
issues will not affect you or if the effect will be unimportant.
- Installation of a year 2000 software update. You
might choose this option if the year 2000 issues will affect you
and an update is available. Updates are often available even for
relatively new software productsùWindows 98, for exampleùto
enhance their year 2000 readiness.
- Installation of an upgrade to
a newer software product. You might choose this option if year
2000 issues will affect you but you are using a product for which
no update is available.
Implement
If you decide to install a
software update, you may need to download software from a specified
location on the Internet. See Question # 23 of the FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions) on this site for help on downloading
software from the Web. |
