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”

.

Try changing the display setting to the VGA option—use the Windows Setup icon
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
display) is active—you can use an external display and turn off the OmniBook
display, or you can choose the default OmniBook display setting. See

“To change

the external display setup”

.
