I cannot play a CD-ROM

Make sure the label of the CD-ROM is facing up.

If the CD-ROM requires software, make sure the software is installed
according to the program’s instructions.

Moisture condensation may have occurred. Disconnect the CD-ROM
drive and disconnect the power to the drive for at least one hour.

Make sure the CD-ROM drive is properly connected. See “Connecting
the CD-ROM Drive” on page 43.

Clean the CD-ROM.

Check the speaker volume.

When I click an application icon a message appears, such as “You must insert
the application CD into your CD-ROM drive”, and the software does not start

Some titles require specific files that are located on the application’s
CD-ROM. Insert the disc and try starting the program again.

Make sure you place the disc in the tray with the label side facing up.

My floppy disk drive cannot write to a diskette

The diskette is write-protected. Disable the write-protect feature or
use a diskette that is not write-protected.

Check that the diskette is properly inserted into the floppy disk drive.

My speaker has no sound

The built-in speaker is turned off. Press Fn+F3 to turn on the speaker.

The speaker volume is turned to the minimum. Press Fn+F4, and then
press

or ➜

to increase the volume.

If your computer is powered by the battery, check that the battery is
connected properly and that it is charged.

If you are using an application that has its own volume control, check
that the volume is turned up.

Check the volume controls in Windows 98.
