Computer Setup Overview
Computer Setup contains utilities that give you an overall picture
of the computer 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, the computer automatically
recognizes and configures the system for new devices. If you have
a configuration problem or want to view or reset configuration
settings, you can use Computer Setup.
NOTE:
If you are running Windows 95, you should use Computer
Setup only to adjust system features such as the battery
conservation level. Windows 95 may override other configuration
changes.
If you are running Windows NT, the computer does not
automatically recognize new devices added to the 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.
