Customizing the Monitor Display

such as the screen resolution, color settings, and font sizes,
double-click the Display icon in the Control Panel. For more
information about your display driver and other utilities that you can
use with your graphics controller, refer to your graphics controller
documentation.

Turning Off Your Computer
To properly turn off your computer, click Shut Down on the Start
menu. The computer will automatically shut down.
In Windows NT Workstation 4.0, the power button always functions
as a power switch. However, in the default configuration of
Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional
or Windows XP Home, pressing the power button does not turn off
the power, but causes the computer to enter a low-power state (also
known as the S3 state). This default configuration allows you to
quickly power down, without closing applications, and to quickly
return to the same operational state without any data loss.
✎
To manually force the computer into an OFF state, press and hold the
power button for four seconds.
Ä
CAUTION: Manually forcing the computer off can cause loss of data.
✎
To reconfigure the power button to work in On/Off mode, run
Computer Setup. Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide for
Computer Setup instructions.
