HP OmniBook 900 Function Manual page 3

Using an Older Microsoft Serial Mouse Model
The OmniBook cannot use Suspend mode with two of Microsoft's older mouse models (parts #28898 and
#07685). The suspend and resume activity causes the OmniBook to lock up with these mice. If you are
using one of these mice, do the following to prevent this problem:
1. Open the BIOS Setup utility (reboot, then press F2).
2. In the Power menu, disable the setting for Resume on Serial Ring.
3. Save and exit the Setup utility.
Using a Microsoft or Logitech PS/2 Mouse with a Scrolling Button
The current drivers shipped with the above scroll button mice react differently to docking and
suspend/resume events.
* Leave the PS/2 Devices setting in the BIOS setup utility on Auto.
* If you're using a Microsoft mouse
- If you plug the MS mouse into the OmniBook while the OmniBook is running or in suspend mode,
reboot the OmniBook to enable the scroll button.
- If the MS mouse is attached to a dock, docking the OmniBook while it is running, in suspend mode, or
off enables scrolling.
* If you're using a Logitech mouse
- If you plug the Logitech mouse into the OmniBook while the OmniBook is running, the OmniBook
must be suspended and resumed to enable scrolling.
- If the Logitech mouse is attached to a dock, the OmniBook must be suspended and resumed after it is
hot docked.
* Docking the OmniBook while it is suspended will enable the scroll button for both mice.
Check with your vendor for updated drivers for these scroll button mice.
Using Media Player (Windows 95 and Windows NT)
If Media Player does not play certain AVI files correctly, try opening them with Mplay32.exe. Click Start,
Run, type mplay32 and click OK.
Using VirusScan without a Floppy Drive (Windows 95/98/NT)
Make sure you do not enable the VirusScan option for checking the floppy drive at shutdown. Otherwise, if
you shut down the computer without a floppy drive present, the computer may take several minutes to shut
down and may beep loudly. To disable this option, double-click the VirusScan icon in the taskbar, then
click Properties and view the Detection tab. In Windows 95/98, clear Shutdown under Scan Floppies. In
Windows NT, clear Floppy During Shutdown under Scan.
