Hints and tips
Using the DVD-ROM drive
Do not switch the display mode from the LCD to the external
monitor while viewing a DVD with video content, such as a DVD
movie or a business presentation. You need to change the display
mode before you open an MPEG file to play.
Using a PC Card
After your computer returns from standby mode to normal
operation, you cannot perform hot-plug and -unplug operations
for certain Network PC Cards in the docking station slots. To
solve the problem, restart the system.
If you are communicating with a PC Card modem or inserting a
PC Card in a PC Card slot, do not enter your computer into
suspend mode, enter into hibernation mode, or click Stand by
in the “Shut Down Window” window.
Note: If you want to enter your computer into suspend mode,
first stop the PC Card in the “PC Card (PCMCIA)
Properties” window as follows:
1.
Click Start, move the cursor to Settings, and click
Control Panel.
2.
Double-click PC Card (PCMCIA).
3.
From the list, select the card you are stopping.
4.
Click Stop.
If you remove a communication PC Card from the PC Card slot
and reinsert it later, it might not work correctly. You need to
restart your computer.
If you install a PC Card after replacing a CD-ROM drive with a
diskette drive, and then later reinsert the CD-ROM drive, the
card might lose its resource name for working. A CD-ROM
drive (secondary IDE) always uses IRQ 15, but after the
CD-ROM drive is replaced with a diskette drive, IRQ 15 will be
free, and Windows 95 or Windows 98 will assign it to a new
PC Card. But IRQ 15 must be taken over with IDE2 when a
CD-ROM drive is reinserted.
