Abstract
A computer having an operating system is connected to a first memory. The computer operates to execute an on screen display (OSD) program in a first memory and a basic input output system (BIOS) application in a second memory. The BIOS application operates to display user information from user information data stored in the second memory on a display before the computer's operating system is loaded. The OSD program operates to display user information from the user information data stored in the second memory on the display after the computer's operating system is loaded. A process determines if a user input is selected, reads a memory for user information data if the user input is selected, and displays user information on a display before an operating system is loaded.
