If you've already installed Card Executive, install the Windows NT Service Pack (see above) before installing VirusScan. If you don't install the Service Pack after Card Executive, you may get an error while installing VirusScan. If you already got this error, install the Service Pack, then VirusScan. Matching the Keyboard and Driver The Windows NT keyboard driver defaults to the OS language. For example, a unit with a French OS defaults to the French keyboard driver, regardless of what keyboard is actually installed. If your computer has a keyboard other than the standard keyboard for your OS language (for example, French Canadian), the keyboard may not work properly. To select the correct driver for your keyboard 1. From Control Panel, double-click Keyboard, Input Locales. 2. Select the correct keyboard input locales and layout for your keyboard. Using Media Player If Media Player does not play certain AVI files correctly, try opening them with Mplay32.exe. Click Start, Run, type mplay32 and click OK. Using VirusScan without a Floppy Drive Make sure you do not enable the VirusScan option for checking the floppy drive at shutdown. Otherwise, if you shut down the computer without a floppy drive present, the computer may take several minutes to shut down and may beep loudly. To disable this option, double-click the VirusScan icon in the taskbar, then click Properties and view the Detection tab. In Windows NT, clear Floppy During Shutdown under Scan. Installing Mediamatics DVD Player Software If you get an error message about the IDE driver while trying to install Mediamatics DVD software, do the following: 1. In Control Panel, open SCSI Adapter and display the Drivers tab. 2. Highlight the Intel ATA driver and click Remove. 3. Click Add, Have Disk, and Browse. Then go to the c:\hp\Drivers\Piix4 directory and select Piixide.inf to install the PIIXIDE driver. This should allow you to install the Mediamatics DVD software. Dr. Watson Errors during Software Installation If you get a Dr. Watson error message during a software installation, acknowledge the message and continue the installation.
