configure your computer, and provides information on settings for various
functions.
Accessing HW Setup
To run the HW Setup program, click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA ->
Utilities -> HWSETUP.
HW Setup window
The HW Setup window contains a number of tabs (General, Password,
Display, Boot Setting, Keyboard, LAN, SATA and USB) to allow specific
functions of the computer to be configured.
In addition there are also three buttons: OK, Cancel and Apply.
General

At this point, the hotkeys FN + F1 to F9 do not work. They will function after
you enter the password.
If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer
shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry
password entry.

window.
Cancel Closes the window without accepting your
changes.

Setup window.
