Using Computer Setup
Computer Setup contains a group of utilities that give you an
overall picture of the computer's hardware configuration and aid
in troubleshooting. These utilities also allow you to set custom
features, such as security options, power conservation levels, and
startup preferences.
If you are running Windows 95 or windows 98, your computer
automatically recognizes and configures the system for new
devices. However, if you have a configuration problem, or want to
view or reset configuration settings, you can use Computer Setup.
If you are running Windows NT, your computer does not
automatically recognize new devices added to your system. All
devices ordered with your system have been configured for you.
Use Computer Setup to view settings for a new device you have
added or to reset configuration settings for preinstalled devices.
