documentation and subject to change.]</span></p>

<h3>SUMMARY</h3>

<p>The PCI Configuration control panel applet allows you to easily view and save the
configuration information of all the PCI devices on your system. This utility works on
both Microsoft Windows NT Version 4.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000. </p>

<h3>RUNNING THE TOOL</h3>

<p>To install the tool, first close the Control Panel. It is important to do this before
running Setup. Then run Setup.exe. </p>

<h5>Known Issues</h5>

<p>This tool does not allow you to change every PCI register. The following registers are
read-only registers. 

<ul>
  <li>Vendor ID</li>
  <li>Device ID</li>
  <li>Revision ID</li>
  <li>Sub Class Code</li>
  <li>Class Code</li>
  <li>Header Type</li>
  <li>Subsystem Vendor ID</li>
  <li>Subsystem ID</li>
  <li>Reserved</li>
  <li>Interrupt Pin</li>
  <li>Min_Gnt</li>
  <li>Max_Lat</li>
</ul>

<p>In addition, on x86 systems, this tool cannot update the registers on PCI bridge type
devices. </p>

<p>Lastly, this tool recognizes only a limited number of devices. If you see either
VenID=xxxx or DevID=xxxx instead of a recognizable vendor name or device name in the list
box, this means the tool is not aware of the vendor or the device. If you wish to have the
vendor or the device recognized by the tool, please send the following information for <i>each</i>
device to <a HREF="mailto:nt-ihv@compaq.com">nt-ihv@compaq.com</a>. 

<ul>
  <li>Vendor ID</li>
  <li>Device ID</li>
  <li>Subsystem Vendor ID</li>
  <li>Subsystem ID</li>
  <li>Vendor Name (30 characters or less)</li>
  <li>Device Name (30 characters or less)</li>
</ul>
