Managing and Troubleshooting Hardware Windows Server 2003 allows you to configure the way hardware profiles are used in several ways. The active profile (that is, the one currently being used) is listed as (Current). The default profile highlighted at startup is determined by the profile s position in the Available Hardware Profiles list. To set a profile as the default, select it, and click the up arrow until the profile is at the top of the list. You can also determine how long the system displays the hardware profile menu at startup. If you don t want the hardware profile menu to be displayed, set a wait of 0 seconds. To create new hardware profiles, you use a copy of an existing profile and then enable or disable devices as necessary. Follow these steps to create and use a new profile: 1 In Control Panel, double-click System to start the System utility. 2 Select the Hardware tab, and then click Hardware Profile. 3 In the Available Hardware Profiles list, select the profile you want to use as a template for the new profile, and then click Copy. 4 In the Copy Profile dialog box, enter a name for the profile, and then click OK. 5 Select the new profile, and then click Properties.
