When recording AVI files to tape:
 Do not use DVgate Motion when the connected digital video peripheral is in Timer Recording mode, as this
could produce a malfunction in the peripheral.
o You can record only AVI files. MPEG files cannot be recorded.
 To avoid recording problems, such as a single frame appearing in multiple frames, close other applications on
your system while recording.
 You cannot use different audio modes on the same tape. If you have AVI files that use different audio modes,
they cannot be recorded at the same time, but must be recorded separately.
 Do not attempt to work with AVI files that are smaller than 4 MB.
 DVgate Motion does not support hard disk compression. You should not use disk compression if you are
planning to work with DVgate Motion.
 In order to maximize recording capabilities, video and audio data are not available while you are recording.
If DVgate Motion indicates that frames have been dropped, close all open applications, or defragment your hard
drive.

Memory Upgrade Specifications
When upgrading memory, use only 3.3V 64-bit PC-100 168 PIN SDRAM DIMM modules. For more information on Digital

Using the Power Button on the System and on the Keyboard
The power button on the keyboard performs a system shutdown, but does not give you the options available when
you use the Windows Shutdown menu. Shutting down from the Windows Shutdown menu allows you to choose
options such as Standby, Restart, and Restart in MS DOS mode.
Shutting down your computer improperly may result in loss of data.
If your system "locks up" or crashes, hold down the power button on the system for several seconds to force it to
power off. Repeat the procedure if required.
Pentium® III Identification
Your operating system was created prior to the Pentium III processor release, so it does not correctly report the
Pentium III name. Please be assured that your computer is equipped with the latest Pentium III processor.
Pentium® III Unique Serial Number Feature
To protect your privacy, the serial number feature that uniquely identifies your system has been disabled. To enable
this feature, use the utility provided with your system. From the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Intel
Processor Serial Number Control Utility, and then click Intel Processor Serial Number Control Utility. In the dialog box,
click Settings and then click Enable.
If You Get an Error Message When Your Modem Tries to Dial
If you get a message saying your modem is unable to complete a dialup connection, the message may be appearing
because you are dialing from an area where an overlay area code has been implemented. In such areas, even local
calls require dialing the area code, or 1 + the area code, before the 7-digit telephone number. If you are dialing from
such an area, you need to configure your dialup software to dial the area code or 1 + the area code, before the
7-digit number. For instructions on how to do this, consult your dialup software's manual or online help. The same
instructions will also tell you how to configure your dialup software to dial a 9 or other number to access an outside
line (you may need to do this if, for instance, you are dialing from an office building).
