If you have Agate hot-swap software installed, and you remove an LS-120 drive and insert a floppy drive,
the floppy drive may be detected as an LS-120 drive by the computer. This situation can cause the computer
to stop responding if you try to remove the floppy drive. Shut down and restart the computer to activate the
floppy drive. However, you can avoid swapping drives by working with floppy disks in the LS-120 drive.
Choosing Power Management Timeouts (Windows 95 Only)
If you have Agate hot-swap software installed, you should use power management timeouts that correspond
to the settings for Max Power Savings in BIOS Setup. If you select longer timeouts, such as those for Max
Performance, the computer may not turn off as expected, causing the battery to run down completely.
Maintaining Power Management (Windows 98 Only)
When Windows 98 detects that your Automated Power Management (APM) system is not operating
properly, it may ask you whether you would like to disable APM. Answer No to ensure longer battery use.
If APM is disabled, the computer will not suspend, hibernate, or timeout.
In some cases, Windows 98 will automatically disable APM and remove the Standby option from the Shut
Down window. Use these steps to restore APM.
1. In Control Panel, open System.
2. On the System Manager tab, expand the System Devices item. Select Advanced Power Management and
click Remove.
3. Restart the computer.
4. In Control Panel, double-click Add New Hardware and follow the prompts to install support for APM.
5. Restart the computer.
If you have problems, visit http://search.microsoft.com/default.asp and search for Q188134 in the Support
& the Knowledge Base. When the search is complete, click on the article entitled "Standby Missing from
Windows Shutdown Dialog Box."
Suspending while Using Infrared (Windows 95 Only)
While the infrared software is running, the computer continually checks for infrared activity. This prevents
it from suspending or hibernating, either automatically by timing out or manually by clicking Start, Suspend
or by pressing Fn+F12. However, it does not prevent the computer from hibernating if battery power
becomes critically low.
To suspend or hibernate, you must first disable infrared communications. Right-click the infrared icon in the
taskbar, then unmark the Enable Infrared option.
Using Media Player (Windows 95)
If Media Player does not play certain AVI files correctly, try opening them with Mplay32.exe. Click Start,
Run, type mplay32 and click OK.
