the way your OmniBook looks and operates. For many settings, it’s an alternative to
using the System Configuration Utility.

To run OmniBook Tools

1. In Program Manager, double-click the OmniBook Tools icon (in the Main group).

2. Click the buttons for the changes you want to make. You’re prompted if you

need to reboot the computer. Click Help or see the table below for more
information.

3. After you make the changes, exit OmniBook Tools.
