Important Run ConfigSafe (or a similar application) to take a "snapshot" of your Windows NT Workstation configuration before installing an optional device. Using this snapshot, you can view and compare the changes in the Windows NT Workstation configuration after you install an option. Also, if you have problems configuring the option after it is installed, ConfigSafe allows you to restore the Windows NT Workstation configuration to the previous settings. Note: If you have preinstalled software, ConfigSafe took a snapshot of the initial Windows NT Workstation configuration when you started your computer for the first time. You might be able to use this snapshot to restore the Windows NT Workstation configuration to the initial settings. ConfigSafe is a part of the preinstalled software in your computer. It is also available on the Software Selections CD. For more information, see "Using the ConfigSafe program" on page 111 and "Software" on page 4.
