Solving computer problems
Solution: IRQs for the PCI are all set as 11. The computer does not respond because it cannot share the IRQ with other devices. Refer to the ThinkPad Configuration Program.
Problem: You may receive an “Unsafe Removal of Device” message that mentions the USB 1.x device when you resume from suspend or hibernation in Windows 2000.
Solution: You can safely close this message window. It is displayed because of a USB 2.0 driver problem in Windows 2000. You can get detailed information in the More Information section of the Microsoft Knowledge Base 328580 and 323754. Visit the Microsoft Knowledge Base homepage at http://support.microsoft.com/, type the number of the knowledge base article you need in the search field, and click the Search button.
Problem: The computer cannot play a CD, or the sound quality of a CD is not good.
Solution: Be sure that the disk meets the standard for your country. Usually, a disk that meets the local standards is marked with a CD logo (as shown below) on the label. If you use a disk that does not meet these standards, we cannot guarantee that it will play, or that, if it does play, the sound quality will be good.
Problem: The system shows slow performance.
Solution: This problem may occur when the ac adapter is not attached. To prolong battery life with the higher frequency of Intel’s Pentium 4/Celeron processors, the ThinkPad G40 implements the Dynamic CPU Throttling feature, which reduces CPU frequency dynamically: 1) when the system operates in battery mode; 2) when the system increases power consumption; 3) when system temperature increases.
To avoid or reduce this problem, do one or all of the following:
1.Attach the ac adapter.
2.Close applications not being used.
3.Try to lower system temperature by increasing the fan speed with the Battery MaxiMiser Wizard with Fan Control.
Problem: Playback of DVD is not smooth.
