Follow these steps to backup your VGA drivers and utilities:

1.Insert a blank, formatted diskette in the diskette drive.

2.Log onto the C:\VGAUTILS directory.

3.Type the following and press Enter

C O P Y * . * A :

See your MS-DOS documentation for more information about copying files. For information on using the VGA utilities and installing the drivers, see Chapter 6.

Using the Password Function

The ActionNote provides password security for the entire system or only the Setup program. This allows you to safeguard all your data or only your Setup configuration. The password function is optional and you do not have to set a password if you don’t want to use one.

You use the Setup program to first enable or disable a password and then define it. (See Chapter 5 for instructions.)

If you enable the power-on password, you must enter it each time you turn on or reset your computer. (Resetting the computer is described later in this chapter.) The computer prompts you for the password after it completes its power-on diagnostics.
