This page covers several options that control the EVEREST user interface and appearance. Please scroll down to read explanation of each options.
Display XP-style icons
When this option is enabled, 32-bit alpha channel icons (in the style of Windows XP) are displayed under Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. This feature is available only when the EVEREST_XPICONS.DLL file presents.
Enable "ASPI" page
This option displays or hides the Storage / ASPI page. In some very rare cases on ASPI page EVEREST may lock up or cause an application fault, in such cases disabling ASPI page can help to make EVEREST stable.
Enable "DMI" page
This option displays or hides the Computer / DMI page. The reliability and accuracy of DMI information depends on the manufacturer of the motherboard or brand-name computer. The DMI page should be disabled when DMI information is suspect or inaccurate.
Enable "OpenGL" page
This option displays or hides the Display / OpenGL page. OpenGL API calls may cause application or operating system fault when the video driver does not fully conform to industry-accepted standards.
Enable "DirectX" menu
This option displays or hides all pages under the DirectX menu. When those pages are not used or required, they can be disabled via this option.
Enable "Benchmark" menu
This option displays or hides all pages under Benchmark menu. When those pages are not used or required, they can be disabled via this option.
Sort menu and submenu items alphabeticially
This option sorts the Page menu captions alphabetically. This option simplifies navigation in the Page menu to ease finding a specific one in the wide selection of pages.
Hide icon and bubble in Notification Area
This option displays or hides the EVEREST icon on the System Tray (also known as the Notification Area). This includes the bubble shown for specific events under Windows 2000/XP/2003.
Remember main window position
EVEREST saves and restores the main window position when this option is enabled. The EVEREST main window will always be displayed on the desktop centre when this setting is disabled.
Remember main window size
EVEREST saves and restores the main window size (both width and height) when this option is enabled. The EVEREST main window will be displayed using the default 800x600 window size when this setting is disabled.
Remember page menu state
EVEREST saves and restores the page menu state when this option is enabled. Page menu state means the expanded or collapsed state of each menu item of the page menu.
Hide units (e.g. Celsius, KB, Volt) for measured values
This option could be used in network audit when the measured temperatures, voltage values, etc. are post-processed, and so the measurement units would make it more difficult to process the measured values.
Display original CPU clock for mobile Intel processors
This option should be used in network audit when the CPU clock speed fluctuation due to Intel SpeedStep Technology should be avoided, and so the CPU clock speed should be reported always as the original (manufacturer rated) clock speed.
