Known issues using Windows XP
When playing a DVD using Media Player in Windows XP, several display issues may appear.
Below are two techniques for improving this inconsistency:
??Press the Window key once or twice.
??Press Fn+Page Up or Fn+ Page Down once or twice.
To avoid this issue completely, HP recommends you use Win DVD for uninterrupted DVD
playing.
Using an Internet Proxy Server
If you set up an Internet connection that uses a LAN proxy server, you should enable the option
for bypassing the proxy server for local addresses. Otherwise, you may experience delays
accessing local computers or other resources on your network.
Accessing Local Area Networks
HP recommends checking the bypass proxy for local addresses to accelerate accessing local
network. To check this, do the following:
1. Click Start, Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections, Internet Options.
2. On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings. Make sure the option for bypassing proxy
server for local addresses is not checked.
3. Restart the notebook and attempt to access your LAN
4. View your workgroup computers and access one of them.
When you try to access a folder the hourglass icon appears. It can take 15 minutes or more
to access a folder. If you view the Task Manager during this time, it will say that the
network neighborhood is not responding.
Also, if you interrupt the task during this time, you will lose all desktop icons, the taskbar,
and the Start menu, and will need to restart the notebook.
5. If the option for bypassing proxy server for local addresses is checked, you may
experience a 15-second delay.
