Presario Notebook Operating System Manual for information on how to create additional hardware profiles.

Q. The keyboard does not respond when I press any button. What should I do?

A. Press and hold the Power ª button to power off your Notebook then re-start, or call Compaq customer support for assistance.

Q. Why is my Notebook slow when coming out of Hibernation mode or when not on the network?

A. If the internal Ethernet hardware (network card) is set up to connect to a network, Windows tries to access the network through the Ethernet hardware. If a connection does not exist, then start-up delays or loss of functionality can occur. One way to overcome these problems is to use the Hardware Profile feature of Windows. This feature allows you to create two different Hardware Profiles that are selectable upon start- up: one with the internal Ethernet hardware enabled, and one with internal Ethernet hardware disabled.
