Control Panel
Most control panel applets on the Thor VM2 are standard Microsoft Windows items.
The control panels and other functions listed below may differ from a standard Microsoft Windows equipped PC or laptop.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, the control panel items in this section apply to all operating systems. The illustration may only
show the Windows Embedded Standard 2009 control panel but the Windows 7 Professional and Windows Embedded
Standard 7 panels are similar.
About
Software
Firmware Versions
The Software tab lists the firmware versions installed. The BIOS, EC and Screen MCU firmware versions are
shown on this tab.
Language
The Software tab displays the localized language version of the OS image. The language is identified as English
or + an additional language.
The Thor VM2 may be pre-loaded with an English only OS. Contact Technical Assistance (page 9-1) for informa-
tion on ordering a recovery DVD with an additional language.
Versions
The Versions tab displays the versions of many of the software programs installed. Not all installed software is
included in this list and the list varies depending on the applications loaded on the Thor VM2. The Image line displays
the revision of the system software installed. Refer to the last three digits to determine the revision level.
Versions Tab and the Registry
The Versions tab displays program version details from the registry.
Customized information can be displayed by modifying the Registry using the Registry Editor. Use caution when
editing the Registry and make a backup copy of the registry before changes are made.
The registry settings for the Version tab are under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ LXE \ Version in the reg-
istry.
To add a user application to the Version panel, create a new string value under the HKLM\Software\LXE\Version
key. The string name should be the Application name to appear in the Version window. The data for the value
should be the version number to appear in the Version window.
