Precautions
This section describes certain situations that could cause serious loss of data.
Do not remove a data storage PC Card while it is actively reading or writing. This could cause its data to
become corrupted.
Certain applications, such as Intuit's Quicken, keep their working files open, and they update the files as you
make changes. For such applications, you should open only files that reside on the hard drive, not on a
removable disk. An open file on a removable disk (such as a floppy disk or PC Card) is susceptible to
corruption in certain situations.
Before suspending, docking, or undocking your computer, always save your data and close any applications
you have open, especially applications that are not power aware, audio and video applications, and
applications using PC Cards and I/O devices such as a CD-ROM drive.

Some models with 15-inch displays have SXGA+ resolution (1400x1050) instead of XGA resolution
(1024x768).
If items on the screen seem too small for viewing comfortably, you can adjust certain display settings while
