2.5.1 Running Computer Setup

Computer Setup contains a group of utilities that give you an overall picture of the computer’s hardware configuration and aid in troubleshooting. Use these utilities to set custom features, such as security options, power conservation levels, and startup preferences.

A computer running Windows 95 automatically recognizes and configures the system for new devices. However, if there is a configuration problem, or you want to view or reset configuration settings, use Computer Setup.

Computer Setup provides two methods to view the computer’s configuration - by type or connection. The default method for viewing Computer Setup is by type.
