The control panels and other functions listed below may differ from a standard Microsoft Windows equipped PC or laptop.

About

Software

Firmware Versions

The Software tab lists the firmware versions installed. The BIOS, EC and Screen MCU firmware versions are shown on this tab.

Language

The Software tab displays the localized language version of the OS image. The language is identified as English or + an additional language.

The Thor VM1 may be pre-loaded with an English only OS. Contact Technical Assistance (page 9-1)for information on ordering a recovery DVD with an additional language.

Versions

The Versions tab displays the versions of many of the software programs installed. Not all installed software is included in this list and the list varies depending on the applications loaded on the Thor VM1. The Image line displays the revision of the system software installed. Refer to the last three digits to determine the revision level.

Versions Tab and the Registry

The Versions tab displays program version details from the registry.

Customized information can be displayed by modifying the Registry using the Registry Editor. Use caution when editing the Registry and make a backup copy of the registry before changes are made.

The registry settings for the Version tab are under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ LXE \ Version in the reg- istry.

To add a user application to the Version panel, create a new string value under the HKLM\Software\LXE\Version key. The string name should be the Application name to appear in the Version window. The data for the value should be the version number to appear in the Version window.

Version strings can be equal to or less than 254 characters. Because the strings are displayed in a text box, any number can be accommodated, up to the 64K byte text box limitation.
