2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. In the Open box, type the following line, and then click OK

   cdrom:\goodies\machine\machine.exe

   where cdrom is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.
   
   
4. Click the Display tab and note the names of the video adapters and the display number associated with each video adapter.
5. Click Quit.
6. When you are prompted to log the current settings in the log file database, click No.
