To avoid or reduce this problem, you can choose any of three other modes
of operation, as follows:
v
Maximum Performance: Keeps the processor speed high at all times.
v Automatic:
Switches the processor speed between high and low,
depending on how much the processor is used. If the use increases, Intel
SpeedStep switches the processor speed to high.
v
Battery Optimized Performance: Keeps the processor speed low at all
times.
To choose a mode, do the following:

3.
Click the Intel SpeedStep technology tab.
4. From the list, select the mode you want.
5. Click OK.
Problem:
The computer can not play a CD, or the sound quality is not good.
Solution:
Be sure that the disk meets the standards for your country. Usually, a disk
that meets the local standards is marked with a CD logo on the label. If
you use a disc that does not meet these standards, we cannot guarantee
that it will play, or that, if it does play, the sound quality will be good.
Problem:
If your operating system is Windows 2000 and you are using a USB 1.x
device, then when your computer returns from standby or hibernation
mode to normal operation, the
″
Unsafe Removal of Device
″
message may
appear.
Solution:
You can safely close this message. It is displayed because of the USB 2.0
driver problem on Windows 2000. You can get detailed information in the
