Solution:

Be

sure

that

the

disk

meets

the

standards

for

your

country.

Usually,

a

disk

that

meets

the

local

standards

is

marked

with

a

CD

logo

on

the

label.

If

you

use

a

disc

that

does

not

meet

these

standards,

we

cannot

guarantee

that

it

will

play,

or

that,

if

it

does

play,

the

sound

quality

will

be

good.

Problem:

Playback

of

DVD

is

not

smooth

in

Windows

98

and

Windows

2000.

Solution:

If

you

select

the

Maximum

Battery

mode

for

the

Intel

SpeedStep

®

technology,

this

problem

may

occur.

This

mode

is

designed

to

achieve

maximum

battery

life

by

switching

the

processor

speed

between

the

regular

low

speed

and

half

of

that

speed,

depending

on

how

much

the

processor

is

used.

If

the

use

increases,

Intel

SpeedStep

switches

the

processor

speed

to

the

lower

speed.

Operation

in

this

mode

can

severely

degrade

the

performance

of

the

processor,

and

thus

cause

the

playback

of

a

DVD

to

be

jerky.

To

avoid

or

reduce

this

problem,

you

can

choose

any

of

three

other

modes

of

operation,

as

follows:

v

Maximum

Performance:

Keeps

the

processor

speed

high

at

all

times.

v

Automatic:

Switches

the

processor

speed

between

high

and

low,

depending

on

how

much

the

processor

is

used.

If

the

use

increases,

Intel

SpeedStep

switches

the

processor

speed

to

high.

v

Battery

Optimized

Performance:

Keeps

the

processor

speed

low

at

all

times.

To

choose

a

mode,

do

the

following:

1.

Start

the

ThinkPad

Configuration

Program.

2.

Click

Power

Management

.

3.

Click

the

Intel

SpeedStep

technology

tab.

4.

From

the

list,

select

the

mode

you

want.

5.

Click

OK

.

Problem:

You

cannot

connect

using

the

built-in

wireless

networking

card.

Solution:

If

the

computer

display

is

closed,

open

it

and

try

again.

Problem:

If

your

operating

system

is

Windows

2000

and
