My CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive tray does not open
Make sure the computer is turned on.
If the Eject button does not work, you can open the tray by inserting a straightened heavy-weight paper clip
into the emergency eject hole.
When I click an application icon, a message such as "You must insert
the application CD into your CD-ROM drive" appears and the software
does not start
Some titles require specific files that are located on the application's CD-ROM. Insert the disc and try starting
the program again.
Check to make sure you inserted the CD-ROM with the label side facing up.
My modem connection is slow
The computer's modem uses K56flex
TM
technology/V.90. Many factors influence modem connection speed, including
telephone line noise or compatibility with telephone equipment (such as fax machines or other modems). If you think
your modem is not connecting properly to other computer-based modems, fax machines, or your Internet Service
Provider, check the following:
Have your phone company check that your phone line is free from any line noise.
If your problem is fax-related, check that there are no problems with the fax machine you are calling and that
it is compatible with fax modems.
If you are having a problem connecting with your Internet Service Provider, check that the ISP is not
experiencing technical problems.
