A method of initializing memory parameters of a main storage device at a time of starting an information processing apparatus includes acquiring a temperature at the time of starting the information processing apparatus; and initializing the memory parameters based on the temperature.

Memory parameter initialization based on a temperature acquired at startup

There is disclosed an information processing apparatus, information processing apparatus control program, and information processing apparatus control method which improve system-recoverability. The information processing apparatus copies contents of a first OS partition storing a first OS, and comprises: a copy setting sectionwhich works on the first OS, sets startup information in a non-volatile memory when the information processing apparatus is started up next, the startup information giving an instruction about startup of a second OSstored on a second OS partition as a partition different from the first OS partition, sets a copy identification filegiving an instruction about copying of the contents of the first OS partition, and restarts the information processing apparatus; a BIOSwhich works when the information processing apparatus is started up, and starts up the second OS, based on the startup information; and a copy execution sectionwhich works on the second OS, and creates an image fileas a copy of the contents of the first OS partition, on a partition different from the first OS partition, based on the copy identification file

Information processing apparatus, information processing apparatus control program, and information processing apparatus control method

An information apparatusreceiving power from a portable power sourceis provided with an external power receiving sectionreceiving the power by connection to non-portable power sourcesand; an operation section SW switching supply and cutoff of the power from the non-portable power sourcesthat are connected to the portable power sourceor to the external power receiving section; judging sectionsandfor judging, when the information apparatusis activated by the supply of power, whether or not the activation is a first activation since the information apparatusis shipped from a factory; and an informing sectionfor prompting a user to connect the external power receiving sectionto the non-portable power sourcesandwhen the activation is the first activation since the information apparatusis shipped.

Electronic apparatus and computer-executable program

The present invention relates to start-up control of a computer apparatus connected with an external device such as a USB device and is intended to easily avoid abnormalities such as a start-up failure. Identification and connectivity of an external device is monitored at the time of start-up in a computer apparatus connected with an external device such as a USB device, and if the external device is recognized as a failure device, device information of the external device is captured and an abnormality such as a start-up failure is avoided by excluding the failure device at the time of the next start-up.

Computer apparatus, start-up controlling method, and storage medium

The present invention has an object to provide an information processing apparatus and authentication program storage medium which can prevent unauthorized use reliably at low costs. The information processing apparatus has a connection section to which a device is removably connected and performs information processing using the device connected to the connection section. It is equipped with a condition setting section which establishes insertion/removal conditions for a device inserted into the connection section; and an authentication section which determines upon start-up of the information processing apparatus whether insertion/removal of a device satisfies the insertion/removal conditions established by the condition setting section, and permits the information processing apparatus to perform information processing if it is determined that the insertion/removal satisfies the established insertion/removal conditions.

Information processing apparatus and authentication program storage medium

Recording peripheral image information by an electronic apparatus only when illegal use of the apparatus is determined to minimize resources and simplifying recording. The electronic apparatus includes a first memory storing a parameter representing at least one condition for the illegal use of the apparatus and a control unit for storing in a second memory image information by a photographing device that photographed a user of the apparatus after the conditions are satisfied. The control unit controls the output of the image information stored in the second memory through an output direction and directs a BIOS setup program to read out the parameter in the first memory and record the image information into the second memory and directs an operating system or an application program running on the apparatus to set and alter the parameter in the first memory via an interface in the BIOS program.
