If you’re prompted to insert a Windows disk
•
If you’re adding a driver or other standard Windows component—or if you’re
running Windows Setup—and Windows prompts for a certain Windows disk, type
c:\windows\options
and choose OK. The C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS directory
contains standard “uninstalled” Windows files normally found on the Windows
installation disks.
If a message says to run the MS-DOS version of a utility
•
Exit Windows, then run the MS-DOS application again or use an MS-DOS
command that’s equivalent to the Windows operation you attempted.
–or–
In Windows, disable 32-bit
file
access—use the Enhanced icon in Control Panel,
then choose Virtual Memory and Change.
If 32-bit disk access doesn’t work
•
Make sure 32-bit
disk
access is disabled (the default setting) because it is not
supported on the OmniBook—use the Enhanced icon in Control Panel, then choose
Virtual Memory and Change. (You
can
use 32-bit
file
access, which is the default
setting.)
Display Problems
If an applications displays information incorrectly or causes errors
•
Use OmniBook Tools to check whether the display resolution is set to its default
setting—see
“To change the external display setup”

in Program Manager (Main group), then use the Options menu to change the
Display setting to “VGA.” If this doesn’t help, use OmniBook Tools to restore the
default setting.
If the display scrolls when the pointer reaches the edge
•
A high-resolution display setting (such as super VGA if your OmniBook has a VGA

“To change
the external display setup”
