If the OmniBook doesn't automatically hibernate as expected
For Windows NT, certain point-enabled PC Cards and possibly other cards may
prevent automatic hibernation when battery power is low. This may cause a drained
battery and data loss. When leaving the computer unattended, either connect the ac
adapter or shut down the computer.
For Windows 2000, check to see that hibernate support is enabled. From Control
Panel, open Power Options, and then click the Hibernate tab.
Also, check the Power Schemes tab. Make sure the Hibernate time-outs for both ac
power and battery power are not set to Never.

Printing Problems

For most printing problems, click Start, Help and use the Print Troubleshooter. If you're
using Windows 2000, click Start, Help, Troubleshooting, and Print.

on.
Check for paper in the printer or other printer errors.
Make sure the printer cable is secure at both ends.
