4-2 Using the Operating System and Utilities
Windows Introduction
Your system comes preloaded with the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000 operating system
or the Windows XP operating system configuration. The operating system provides a
means of running applications, navigating through your file structure, and using your
notebook computer.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP incorporate the latest ACPI power management. To
fully utilize battery power in your NEC Versa computer, see the following section,
“Windows Power Management.”
The new Windows XP operating system has a new clean look with a new user
interface. Icons traditionally appearing on the desktop and taskbar of previous
operating systems are not on the Windows XP desktop and taskbar. (You can
customize your desktop with the programs you want to launch from your desktop.)
To find some of the Windows XP programs and directories, left click the Windows
Start
button. Windows XP displays a menu with programs and tools such as Internet
Explorer, My Computer, Control Panel, and Printers and Faxes.
For a description of Windows XP icons, buttons, and menus, take the online
Windows XP tour.
The Windows 2000 operating system has a traditional Windows desktop with icons
such as My Computer and Internet Explorer on the desktop. Left click the Windows
Start
button to select the traditional Windows menus and program buttons.
For information about the Windows 2000 operating system, left click the Windows
Start
button and select the Help menu.
Windows Power Management
Your NEC Versa notebook manages its power resources using the Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) while the system is powered on using AC or
battery (DC) power. ACPI enables the operating system to manage the power given to
each attached device and to turn off a device when not in use.
Take advantage of the opportunity to manage power on your system to:
Minimize battery drain.
Save time. When you return from that urgent call or meeting, you don’t have to
reboot, just press the Power button to resume system operation.
