NT Boot-Optionen
  NT Boot Options (PowerUp module)

 Description:

This module provides options for customizing the boot process of Windows NT or other operating systems installed on your computer.

 Operating System Tab:

 All bootable operating systems are displayed in the upper box.

The default system is identified with a red folder icon, all other systems with yellow folders.

To change the parameters of a system select its name in the list and then switch to the "Parameters" tab, or double-click on the operating system name.

You can change the name of the selected operating system entry by single-clicking on it or pressing "Enter".

Clicking on the "Default OS" button makes the selected operating system your new default boot system and its folder color changes from yellow to red.

"Restore" undoes all changes made since you started the module, returning all parameters and settings to their original values.

The "BM Startup" options enable you to edit the parameters that control the behavior of the NT boot manager during the boot procedure.

 Parameters Tab:

 You can enter your own personal settings for every entry on the "Operating System" tab. (Note that the parameters are undefined for DOS & Windows 95/98.)

  General Options

Standard VGA:

Starts the selected system with NT's standard VGA driver instead of the installed driver (useful when you experience graphics configuration errors or install a new graphics adapter).

Show drivers:

Normally NT only displays a row of dots while booting. Activating this option forces the system to display the actual names of the drivers being loaded.

Limit system memory:

Limits the amount of system memory made available to NT when it boots (useful for testing software etc.).

  Debugger

Activates or deactivates an external kernel debugger.

  No mouse polling

Disable polling for all the ports to which no mouse is connected. This prevents NT from fumbling about at all the COM ports unnecessarily at bootup and speeds up the boot process by 3-8 seconds.

  Undefined

This field is reserved for the addition of undocumented parameters.
