Solving Problems
82 User’s Handbook
• Zoomed Video is supported in the lower card slot only.
• Windows NT does not support Zoomed Video.
• Try the card in another computer.
• Not all 3rd party PC cards have been tested with the OmniBook. Please check the
OmniBook website (http://www.hp.com/omnibook) for a list of approved and tested
PC Cards.
• Certain Xircom CE2 (IIps) LAN cards conflict with the game port device in Windows
2000. Contact Xircom to see if your card is one of these.
• When using a PC card in a docking system, insert or remove the card while the
system is turned on or shut down, but not while the computer is suspended.
If an I/O card stops communicating properly
• It may have been reset if the OmniBook suspended or turned off. Exit and restart the
application.
• Check settings in Control Panel (and in Windows NT Diagnostics).
Performance Problems
If the OmniBook gets hot
• It is normal for the computer to get warm, especially while the battery is charging.
• Make sure the air vents are clear. For example, don’t put the computer on a soft
surface that blocks the vent holes on the bottom at the back-right corner.
• DOS games and other programs that drive CPU usage toward 100% can contribute to
a temperature increase.
If the OmniBook pauses or runs sluggishly
• Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to see if an application is not responding.
• Reboot the OmniBook.
• Delete temporary and unneeded files.
• This may be normal Windows behavior. Background processing can affect response
time.
