If you are having a problem connecting with your Internet Service Provider, check that the ISP is not experiencing technical problems.

If you have a second phone line available, try connecting the modem to that line.

My microphone does not work

If you are using an external microphone, check that the microphone is plugged into the Microphone connector. See “Connecting an External Microphone” on page 59 for details.

My mouse does not work

If you are using an external mouse, check that the mouse is plugged into the mouse connector. See “Connecting an External Mouse or Keyboard” on page 57 for details.

If you connected an external mouse while your computer is on, you must restart your computer.

I cannot use DV devices. The message “DV equipment seems to be disconnected or turned off” appears.

Check that the DV device is turned on and that the cables are properly connected.

My touchpad interprets a single tap as a double-click

Click the Mouse icon in the Control Panel and then change the button assignments in the Mouse Properties dialog box. One of the buttons is assigned to the double-click action.

My computer does not shut down

It is best to shut down your computer using the Shut Down command on the Windows 98 Start menu. Using other methods, including those listed here, may result in loss of unsaved data. If the Shut Down command does not work properly, follow these steps:

Restart the computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. If this does not work, slide the power switch forward and hold it for at least four seconds to turn off the power.

Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and remove the battery pack from your computer.
