Problem:
The computer does not enter standby mode as set by the timer
under Windows
®
98 or Windows NT
®
.
Note: Some models support Windows
®
XP only.
Solution:
For Windows 98:
The generic CD-ROM or DVD-ROM driver for Windows
®
98 accesses the
internal CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive every 3 seconds to see whether a
CD-ROM is inserted there. This prevents your computer from entering
standby mode even after a timeout. To enable the computer to enter standby
mode, 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 Settings tab.
8.
Clear the
Auto insert notification
check box.
Windows 98 no longer detects the insertion of a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM
automatically.
For Windows NT:
If you enable the CD-ROM AutoRun feature, the timer cannot trigger the
computer to enter standby mode. 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
