5. Restart the computer.
If you have problems, visit http://search.microsoft.com/default.asp and search for Q188134 in the Support
& the Knowledge Base. When the search is complete, click on the article entitled "Standby Missing from
Windows Shutdown Dialog Box."
Suspending while Using Infrared (Windows 95 Only)
While the infrared software is running, the computer continually checks for infrared activity. This prevents
it from suspending or hibernating, either automatically by timing out or manually by clicking Start, Suspend
or by pressing Fn+F12. However, it does not prevent the computer from hibernating if battery power
becomes critically low.
To suspend or hibernate, you must first disable infrared communications. Right-click the infrared icon in the
taskbar, then unmark the Enable Infrared option.
Using Media Player (Windows 95)
If Media Player does not play certain AVI files correctly, try opening them with Mplay32.exe. Click Start,
Run, type mplay32 and click OK.
Using VirusScan without a Floppy Drive
Make sure you do not enable the VirusScan option for checking the floppy drive at shutdown. Otherwise, if
you shut down the computer without a floppy drive present, the computer may take several minutes to shut
down and may beep loudly. To disable this option, double-click the VirusScan icon in the taskbar, then
click Properties and view the Detection tab. In Windows 95/98, clear Shutdown under Scan Floppies.
Using a Video Card in the F1477A Docking System.
When using an external video adapter in the F1477A docking system, your computer may lock up if the
computer is suspended, or if you dock or undock the computer while it is turned on.
In Windows 95, to avoid this problem with an external video adapter in the F1744A docking system:
* Set the Primary Video Adapter BIOS setup option to Auto so that the BIOS uses the external video
adapter on boot.
* Shut down your system from the Start, Shutdown menu before docking or undocking.
* Avoid suspending to Standby mode while docked. To avoid suspending to Standby:
- Do not push the blue power button.
- Do not press Fn+R on the keyboard.
- Leave Time-out on AC disabled in the BIOS Setup.
In Windows 98, to avoid this problem with an external video adapter in the docking system, set the Primary
Video Adapter BIOS setup option to Internal so that the BIOS uses the internal video adapter and leaves the
external video adapter for use by Windows 98 as a second video adapter. With this setting in Windows 98,
there are no restrictions to suspending the computer, or docking or undocking the computer while it is
turned on.
