Ejecting the NEC Select Install CD from a DVD-ROM Drive
If your system has a Hitachi DVD-ROM drive (4X GD-2500) and you manually
load applications or drivers from the NEC Select Install CD, a dialog box
appears with the message “Reminder: Please remove CD-ROM.”
Pressing the eject button on the DVD-ROM drive displays another dialog box
with the message: “Eject request to Drive in Use: An Eject request was received
for a drive that is in use, continue with eject operation?”
Click
OK
to eject the CD from the DVD-ROM drive. The first dialog box is
displayed. Click
OK
to complete the software loading operation.
Finding No Network Neighborhood Icon on the Desktop
The Windows 98 desktop does not display a Network Neighborhood icon when
you boot the system into Windows 98. The 3Com
®
3C905B-TX drivers are
preinstalled on the system and no protocols are loaded. This configuration does
not display the Network Neighborhood icon on the desktop. See “Changing
Network Settings” in this document to configure your system.
Finding the 3Com Diagnostic Program
The 3Com Windows user diagnostic program is not available on the Windows
Start/Programs menu. If you need to run the 3Com Diagnostics program, use the
MS-DOS-based programs on the Driver CD that comes with your system.
Restoring Diamond Viper V550 Video with NEC Select Install CD
When restoring a system with the Diamond Viper V550 video card installed the
video driver installation will ask to reboot the system while running the restore
process. The correct response is to this message “You must restart your
computer before the change can take effect, Please press the next button to
restart your computer”, is to cancel the restart in the video install dialog box. If
you chose to select restart (next button) the restore process will error. A dialog
box will appear indicating “this program is not responding, it may be busy etc.”
Chose “End Task” button and the system will restart.
