I heard print screen would work, but I would need a parallel printer connection which I don't have any more since my old Epson printer died. Somewhere - and it would take me DAYS to find it - I have a small freeware app which saves it to a file and restores it. I suspect a google for CMOSBACKUP or CMOS BACKUP would find something similar. I looked via Google, but couldn't figure out which one to use. Can you please kindly post/e-mail me a copy? Does it run in Windows or something? -- "Size isn't everything.

I heard print screen would work, but I would need a parallel printer connection which I don't have any more since my old Epson printer died. The trouble is that in modern systems there's more than just CMOS settings - there's the ESCD stored in the NVRAM (EEPROM). I haven't seen any utilities for this but I haven't looked hard - DMI was supposed to be able to handle this kind of thing but it withered for a while, then showed signs of a comeback more recently and I'm not sure what its current status is. I don't really care about those settings. I am just interested in the settings in CMOS so I can reconfigure them if default settings failed. Failing all else, if a print would do, try a digital camera. I dunno how the review Web sites get their captures - anybody? Hmm. Not a bad idea. I don't have one and I don't know how clear it would be off a 17" CRT. Would it work? -- "Size isn't everything.

keyboard and composed: Is there a way to print, export, or back up my current CMOS settings? Try these general purpose utilities: ftp://sac-ftp.gratex.sk/utilmisc/cmos93cd.zip ftp://sac-ftp.gratex.sk/utilmisc/cmossav.zip Note that these utilities will only save/restore the data in CMOS RAM, eg standard CMOS, advanced CMOS, and mainboard register settings. Other settings, such as PnP device configuration, will be stored in the ESCD table in the BIOS EEPROM. To save/restore the latter you will need to use your mainboard's flash utility. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 's' from my address when replying by email. |

Is there a way to output these settings in plain texts like what I see in CMOS? I just want a hardcopy or exported settings of each CMOS setting offline. -- "Size isn't everything.
