The First Screen
Express Gate Lite’s first screen appears within a few seconds after you power on
the computer. From here, you can immediately start the web browser or Skype.
You can also choose to continue booting normally (e.g. to your installed OS such
as Windows), enter BIOS setup, or power off.
If you don’t make any selection, Express Gate Lite will automatically exit and boot
to your normal OS after a certain amount of time. The timer countdown is shown
on-screen inside the “boot to OS” button. As you move the mouse or type a key,
the countdown stops and the timer disappears, so you can take your time to make
a selection.
The Express Gate Lite Environment
The very first time you enter the Express Gate Lite environment (by launching
either web or Skype from the first screen), a first time wizard will guide you through
basic Express Gate Lite configurations. Basic configurations include language,
date and time and screen resolution.
Once inside the Express Gate LIte environment, click on the icons on the
LaunchBar, by default at bottom of the screen, to launch or switch between
softwares. You can re-arrange, re-size and move windows. Bring a window to the
foreground by clicking within it or by clicking on its corresponding software icon.
Re-size a window by dragging any of its four corners. Move a window by dragging
its title bar.
Besides using the LaunchBar, you can also switch between softwares by pressing
+ on the keyboard. You can also right-click anywhere on the desktop to
bring up a menu of softwares.
The red triangle on an software icon in the LaunchBar denotes that the software is
already running. This means that you can switch to it without any delay. In the rare
case where an software stops responding, right-click on its icon to force close it.
