Operating Basics 3D Viewer This feature displays a 3D object on the screen which moves in according to tilting or vibration of the computer. When the TOSHIBA HDD Protection detects computer vibration the Hard Disk Drive head is parked and the 3D object disk rotation will stop. When the head is un-parked the disk will begin to rotate again. The 3D Viewer can be started from the icon in the task tray. ■ This 3D object virtually represents the Computer's internal Hard Disk Drive. This representation may vary from the actual number of disks, disk rotation, head movement, part size, shape and direction. ■ This feature may use a large amount of CPU and memory on some models. The computer may become slow or sluggish when attempting to run other applications while the 3D Viewer is displayed. ■ Intensely shaking the computer or other subjecting it to strong impacts may cause damage to the computer. Details To open the Details window, click the Setup Detail button in the TOSHIBA HDD Protection Properties window.
