To automatically detect a CD

You can set up your system to automatically detect and respond when you insert a CD. However, this setup prevents the OmniBook from automatically turning off after a period of inactivity if the CD-ROM drive is present.

1.From Control Panel, double-click System, then click Device Manager.

2.Double-click CD-ROM drive.

3.Select the CD-ROM driver displayed, then click Properties.

4.Click Settings, then click Auto Insert Notification.

5.Click OK to save and exit.

To run an MS-DOS program outside of Windows 95

If you want to run an MS-DOS program outside of Windows 95 and still have sound and other system devices enabled, use the special MS-DOS Mode command.

1.From the Start menu, select Programs, OmniBook, MS-DOS Mode. This shuts down Windows and loads drivers for MS-DOS.

2.Run your MS-DOS program.

3.When finished, type exit to restart Windows.
