Solving computer problems

If the system still does not return from standby mode, your system may stop responding and you cannot turn off the computer. In this case, you need to reset the computer. If you have not saved your data, it may be lost. To reset the computer, press and hold the power button for 4 seconds or more. If the system is still not reset, remove the ac adapter and the battery.

Problem: Your computer does not enter standby or hibernation mode.

Solution: Check if any option has been selected to disable your computer from entering standby or hibernation mode.

Problem: The computer does not enter standby mode as set by the timer under Windows 98 or Windows NT®.

Solution:

For Windows 98:

The generic CD-ROM or DVD-ROM driver for Windows 98 accesses the internal CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive every 3 seconds to see if a CD-ROM is inserted in the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive. This prevents your computer from entering standby mode even after a timeout. To prevent this from occurring, do the following:

1.Click Start.

2.Move the cursor to Settings and Control Panel.

3.Click Control Panel, and then double-click System.

4.Click the Device Manager tab.

5.Click the + mark of CD-ROM.

6.Double-click the name of the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.

7.Click the Setting tab.

8.Clear the Auto insert notification check box.

Windows 98 no longer detects the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM insertion automatically.

For Windows NT:

If you have enabled the CD-ROM AutoRun feature, the computer does not enter standby mode through the timer. To enable the timer, disable the AutoRun feature by editing the configuration information in the registry as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\

CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\

Autorun: 0x1 > Autorun: 0
