System Utilities

This chapter describes how to use the utilities and video drivers supplied with the VENTURIS Pentium

computer. In most cases, these utilities and drivers have been factory installed as image files on the hard

disk drive. However, before attempting to use any of the utilities or install any of the video drivers, first

copy all image files onto diskettes using the Create Installation Diskettes tool in Getting Started.

Afterwards, use these diskettes to run any of the utility programs and/or to install drivers.

When utilities and video driver diskettes have been purchased, refer to the supplied MS-DOS/Windows

documentation for information on creating back-up diskettes.
