Topic: Why doesn't my CD-RW drive record at the highest speed?

You must use 4x CD-RW or 8x CD-R media to achieve optimum performance.

If you must use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW media, change the write speed from 4x to a lower setting. To change the write speed from the default to a lower speed:

1Click the My Computer icon on your desktop.

2Right-click the CD-RW drive icon.

Your CD-RW drive is assigned drive H as its default.

3Select Properties.

4Select the Settings tab.

5Change the “Current Write Speed” field to 1x or 2x.

6Click OK.

Topic: How do I change the video resolution of my display?

1From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel.

2Click the Display icon and select the Settings tab.

3Move the Display area slider to change the resolution.

4Click OK.

Topic: Why is there no sound in any application?

There are independent controls for your system volume.

Check that the speakers are plugged into the HEADPHONES connector.

If the speakers have a mute button, make sure it is off.

If the speakers are powered by batteries, check that the batteries are inserted properly and that they are charged.

If the speakers use an external power source, make sure that the power cord is plugged into a grounded wall outlet or power strip.

If the speakers have their own volume control, check the volume level.

If the program you are using has its own volume control, check that the volume is turned up.
