Configuring the Stylistic 1200 Pen Tablet System
This chapter provides instructions on how to use various configuration utilities developed to support the
Stylistic 1200 pen tablet.
About BIOS Settings 2
Some BIOS configuration utilities allow you to select permanent and/or current settings when
configuring some BIOS options. BIOS code resides in the system’s CMOS memory. When the system is
powered on, BIOS code is copied or ‘shadowed’ into the system’s dynamic memory and the system runs
using BIOS parameters stored in dynamic memory.
When you change a permanent setting, BIOS parameters stored in CMOS memory are changed and the
new setting is applied after the system is restarted. When you change a current setting, BIOS parameters
stored in dynamic memory are changed and the new setting is applied for the current session. Also, note
that a change to the current setting only remains in affect until the system is restarted or shut down.
Audit Mode 2
Windows 95 and Windows 98 (as preinstalled on the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet) are preconfigured for the
pen tablet system. The first time the system is started, the User Information screen is displayed along
with a series of “first-run” screens for the end user to perform such tasks as entering User/Company
name, Certificate of Authenticity, and End User License Acceptance information. After this information is
entered and the system is shut down, the User Information and first-run screens are not displayed when
the system is started in subsequent sessions. Windows 95 and Windows 98 allow you to bypass the
first-run screens and run the system in audit mode. In audit mode, you can change system configuration
settings, perform additional system checks and tests, and install hardware and software without
destroying the end user first-run experience.
Note:
Windows NT does not offer audit mode.
To invoke audit mode, attach a keyboard to your system and perform the following steps.
1. Boot the system. When the User Information screen is displayed, press the key combination
CTRL-SHIFT-F3 on the keyboard. This displays a License screen. Choose Accept to continue. After you
accept the license, a menu of auditing options appears.
2. Choose Non-restorative auditing and tap OK. (Changes you make to Windows during the audit
session will be retained when you choose non-restorative auditing.)
3. The system is now in audit mode. You can now make any desired changes to the system configuration,
install hardware, software, or perform system tests. Note that all changes you make to the system
remain in effect permanently (or until altered in a subsequent session).
4. When you are finished auditing the system, tap the Shutdown button in the OEM Reset Reminder
dialog box.
The system is now shut down and reset to the first-run condition with your audit changes intact. For
further details on configuring Windows 95 or Windows 98, refer to the documents listed in “Related
Documentation” in the About This Manual section of this guide.
