Chapter 6: Configuring Your System

This chapter explains how to use the system Setup program and the special Video Display
drivers that come with your WinBookXP5.
The Setup Program
You need to understand how to use the system Setup program even if you got your
WinBookXP5 ready-to-roll when it came out of the box. The program isn't difficult and you
don't have to be a computer whiz to use it.
The Setup program creates a configuration record that gets stored in the computer hardware.
Every time you turn on the computer the system refers to this record. If the entries are incorrect,
your computer may not function properly.
As we've already seen in Chapter Two, to access all three pages of the program you have to run it
from the screen prompt in DOS-only mode. You can not access the Setup program in Windows
or a Windows DOS session. You must shut down Windows and select option 3 from the
shutdown screen to restart in DOS-only mode. To run Setup hold down the 'Ctrl' and 'Alt' keys
and press the 'S' key. The Setup program will come on screen. The program has three 'pages.'

Page 1 displays first. You can switch to the next page by pressing the 'PgDn' key. To return to
previous page, press the 'PgUp' key. Use the keyboard arrow keys to move between items on the
page. The field for the currently selected item will be highlighted. You can select the field option
you want by using the plus and minus keys to change the displayed entry to another option.
