DVD and video file playback
While you are playing a DVD disc--or while you are playing any video files in the AVI (Audio
Video Interleave) or MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) format--these functions are not
supported:
> Switching among built-in display, external display, and simultaneous displays using Fn+F5.
Select the display before starting the DVD player.
> Modifying the resolution or color depth of your display. If you want to change these settings,
do it before starting the DVD player.

in Windows 98. DVD/AVI playback is supported only on the primary display.
Some combinations of color depth and resolution are not supported in DVD/AVI playback. If you
receive an error message with a DVD, reduce color depth or display resolution.
Fn hot keys on an external keyboard
When using combination hot keys (shortcut key sequences) on an external keyboard—which is
equivalent to using the Fn key on the HP notebook keyboard--use the Ctrl and Alt keys on the left
side of the external keyboard. For example, Left Ctrl+Left Alt+F1 on an external keyboard
decreases the display’s brightness.
Hibernate mode
In Windows 2000, you can initiate hibernate mode by pressing Fn+F12.
In Windows 98, manual initiation of hibernate mode is not available--except that, if you wish,
you can modify the default setting for the power switch or the standby button to initiate hibernate
mode instead.
In both operating systems, hibernate mode also occurs automatically when battery power reaches
a critically low level.

standby time has been set to never in the Power control panel applet. This will happen only if
hibernation is enabled.
To workaround this condition, follow these instructions:
1. Open up the Power Options control panel applet by clicking Start, Settings, Control Panel and
then double clicking the Power icon
