Troubleshooting guide
Problem Cause and action
The computer does not
enter suspend mode as
set by the timer under
Windows 98 or
Windows NT.
For Windows 98:
The Windows 98 generic CD-ROM or DVD driver accesses the internal
CD-ROM drive or DVD drive every 3 seconds to see if a CD-ROM is inserted in
the CD-ROM drive or DVD drive. This prevents your computer from entering
suspend mode even after a timeout.
To prevent this from occurring, do the following:
1. Click Start.
2. Move the cursor to Settings and Control Panel.
3. Click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
4. Click the Device Manager tab.
5. Click the + mark of CD-ROM.
6. Double-click the CD-ROM or DVD name.
7. Click the Setting tab.
8. Clear the Auto insert notification check box.
Windows 98 no longer detects the CD-ROM or DVD insertion automatically.
For Windows NT:
The computer does not enter suspend mode through the timer if you enable the
CD-ROM AutoRun feature. To enable the timer in this situation, edit the
configuration information in the registry as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\
Autorun: ðx1 → Autorun: ð
