52 Troubleshooting tables
Here's what to do:
Check your Services and Support Guide for information on obtaining service.
Restart the application. Some applications will not operate correctly with
Rapid Resume.
If you boot (start) your computer to Windows:
In the Rapid Resume menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility, make sure the
Initialize Adapter Cards option is set to "Reload Device Drivers". Some adapter
cards do not operate correctly with Rapid Resume.
1. Press the on/off button.
2. Increase the Automatic Power Off time.
3. Disable Rapid Resume and Standby during long periods of activity such as
using a joystick.
Turn the monitor on, and then turn the system unit on. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete
when you see the Rapid Resume screen. There may be a slight delay before
the computer restarts.
1. Try reconnecting to your network drives. If you are using OS/2 Warp, skip
Step 2.
2. If your computer has only DOS/Windows on it, make sure network drivers,
network start commands, and other network commands come before
"RESUME.EXE" in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
3. Log off the network before turning off the computer.
4. Use the Standby feature for energy savings instead of Rapid Resume.
1. In Rapid Resume Manager, check the Scheduler feature and the Automatic
Power Off option of the Rapid Resume feature to see if either of them is set
to turn the computer off.
2. Check to see if the Automatic Power Off feature is enabled on the Rapid
Resume menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility. For instructions on using
the Configuration/Setup Utility, see page 63.
