Getting help
When I double-click an application icon a message such as You must insert the application CD into your CD-ROM drive
appears and the software does not start.
Some titles require specific files that are located on the application 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.


Why does my CD-RW drive not record at the highest speed?
You must use 8x CD-R or 4x CD-RW media or higher to achieve optimum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW discs, change the writing speed
from 4x to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1 Click Start and then My Computer.
2 Right-click the Compact Disc icon.
3 Select Properties.
4 Select the Recording tab.
5 From the lower dropdown list, select the 2x write speed.
6 Click Apply and then OK.
The disc tray does not eject even when the Eject button is pressed
Check that the notebook is turned on.


The application software when burning a CD may prohibit it.
