Operating System
The Operating System buttons let you select the operating system on which you are running
Windows.
This is very important because the configuration and capabilities of the drivers are very different in
OS/2 and DOS. The most obvious difference is that the drivers only work in 16 and 256 color
modes in OS/2. There are a number of other differences in the configuration of the drivers. Prior
to installing OS/2 for Windows, you need to run WinMode and select the OS/2 option.
Note: Not all versions of WinMode have the DOS/OS2 option. If yours does not, the option is not
necessary for your configuration.
OK
The OK button closes the dialog box and accepts the selections you have made.
After you click on OK, your computer is reconfigured to use the selections you have made. These
changes may need to be added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to become permanent. If this is
necessary, you are prompted by the program.
If WinMode detects that you changed your Windows 3.X configuration, you are asked if Windows
should be restarted. If you answer Yes, Windows restarts immediately. If you answer No, you have
to exit Windows and restart it manually before the changes take effect.
Cancel
The Cancel button closes the dialog box and exits the program without making any changes. Se-
lecting Close from the control menu or double clicking on the control menu box has the same
effect.
About
The About button displays a dialog box with the version number of WinMode and a copyright
notice.
Help
For help on WinMode, select the Help button. The main help screen contains an image of the
WinMode screen. Place the cursor over the field(s) for which you need help. Click the mouse to
display the help text for that field. Click again to make the pop-up text disappear.
