To automatically detect a CD

You can set up your system to automatically detect and respond when you insert a

a period of inactivity if the CD-ROM drive is present.
1. From Control Panel, double-click System, then click Device Manager.
2. Double-click CD-ROM drive.
3. Select the CD-ROM driver displayed, then click Properties.
4. Click Settings, then click Auto Insert Notification.
5. Click OK to save and exit.

To run an MS-DOS program outside of Windows 95

If you want to run an MS-DOS program outside of Windows 95 and still have sound
and other system devices enabled, use the special MS-DOS Mode command.
1. From the Start menu, select Programs, OmniBook, MS-DOS Mode.
This shuts down Windows and loads drivers for MS-DOS.
2. Run your MS-DOS program.
3. When finished, type exit to restart Windows.
