Printer fonts

Mouse speed and sensitivity

Accessibility options for users with physical challenges

Printer types and connections

Computer system date and time

Network connections

Audio sounds and multimedia options

Memory allocation and system performance

Caution:

Changing settings in the Control Panel can affect the performance of Windows 98 in both positive and negative ways.

Caution should be exercised when making Control Panel changes. If you are not completely sure of the effect that your change will have, you should not make the change.

For additional information regarding Control Panel, and all Windows 98 operations, please refer to Microsoft's Windows 98 Resource Kit, ISBN 1-55615-678-2.
