If you have an internal LAN adapter, follow these steps to set it up properly. If you do not complete these steps, you may lose your network connections when the computer suspends or hibernates. 1. In Control Panel, open Network and install network support. When prompted, click Select From List, then Have Disk and enter the path c:\hp\drivers\lan. Select the 3Com ethernet adapter. You may be prompted for the location of NT files one or two times--first try the path c:\i386, then use the path c:\hp\drivers\lan. 2. Plug in the AC adapter and reinstall the Windows NT service pack from the Recovery CD. To do this, click Start, Run, then browse to \NT4_SPX\SpXi386.exe on the Recovery CD, where X is the Service Pack number. 3. Click Start, Run, then type or browse to c:\hp\drivers\lan\tdiinst.exe. This installs power management capabilities. Using PC Cards Use of some point-enabled cards and possibly other cards may prevent the system from hibernating when battery power is low. Instead, the batteries can drain to the point of a nonrecoverable shutdown (data is lost). To prevent this from happening when using these cards, do not leave the system unattended when the batteries may drain to this low level. Instead, either connect a charger or power the system off. If APM is installed on the computer, the system will warn about low battery conditions. You should save any data at this time. Installing VirusScan and Card Executive If you will be installing both McAfee VirusScan and Card Executive, install McAfee VirusScan first. 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.
