Performance Problems

If the OmniBook's internal clock loses time
Plug in ac adapter for 24 hours to charge backup battery.
If the OmniBook gets hot
It is normal for the computer to get hot.
Make sure the air vents are clear.
DOS games and other programs that drive CPU usage toward 100% can
contribute to the temperature.
If the OmniBook pauses or runs sluggishly
This may be normal Windows 95 behavior (background processing can affect
response time).
If the hard disk has spun down to conserve power, it can take several seconds to
spin up. Run BIOS Setup and increase the hard disk time-out.
Certain background operations (such as virus scans) can affect performance
while they're running.
Some file browsers may be unresponsive while they're processing a graphic
image or waiting for broken network connections to time out.
Run BIOS Setup and try turning off smart CPU mode.
Install additional memory if Windows is spending a lot of time swapping to disk.
Check amount of available free disk space.
