Support CD for Windows ME and XP
The Notebook PC you purchased may or may not be preloaded with an operating system. The support CD
included with this Notebook PC provides all the necessary drivers and utilities in order for you to use your
Notebook PC with Microsoft® Windows® 98/ME/XP (referred to as “Windows” in this User’s Manual).
This Notebook PC offers its customers the choice of a pre-installed operating system such as Microsoft
Windows ME (Millennium Edition) or Windows XP. The choices and languages will depend on the
territory . The levels of hardware and software support may vary depending on the installed operating system.
Operating systems not pre-installed on this Notebook PC may produce different results than the ones described in the provided user’s manuals.
If your Notebook PC is not preloaded with any operating system, or you want to install another operating
system other than the preloaded one, the following pages will give step-by-step installation procedures for
typical system configurations under the Windows
online help provided with each of the applications after installation. The following is what you will see when
you insert the support CD. If the autorun menu does not appear, double clicking the CD-ROM disc drive icon
in “My Computer” (may be the (D:) drive or (E:) drive on hard drives with two partitions) or running SETUP .EXE
(through Start menu “Run...”) located in the root of the support CD, will bring up the autorun menu.

Drivers for Windows ME and XP
The following are descriptions of each autorun menu item. Due to ongoing improvements in the support CD,
there may be some differences between this User’s Manual and your support CD. The names in quotations
are the actual driver names displayed in the System Properties of MS W indows. Windows cannot contain all
the device drivers from every manufacturer, with every update; therefore the provided support CD will
contain the best driver for your built-in devices and should be used in place of any Windows default drivers.
Intel 830M INF Update (required) “Intel 828XX” Drivers
Shown under W indows “System devices.” This installs drivers for the Notebook PC’s specific chipset.
ATKACPI Driver (required) “ATK0100 ACPI UTILITY” Driver
Shown under Windows “System devices.” This installs drivers for the Notebook PC’s Advanced Configura-
tion and Power Interface (ACPI) for features utilizing power management functions.
VGA Driver (required) “Intel 82830M Graphics Controller - 0 / 1” Driver
Shown under W indows “Display adapters.” This installs display drivers for your operating system in order
to properly use the Notebook PC’s built-in graphics controller and to provide optimal features. Once the
display driver is installed, you can change your display’s resolution and color through Display Properties.
Audio Driver (required) “Intel AC’97 Audio Controller - SigmaTel Codec” Driver
Shown under Windows “Sound, video and game controllers.” This installs audio drivers for your operating

LAN Driver (required) “Realtek RTL8139(A)-based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter” Driver
Located under Windows “Network Adapters.” Installs the required LAN driver for the Notebook PC’s
built-in PCI Fast-Ethernet controller. Fast-Ethernet supports both 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX networks at
half or full duplex.

maximum performance when connected to an external power and battery optimized performance when
going mobile. The processors can dynamically switch clock frequency and voltage, depending on whether
the computer is running on batteries or is plugged into AC power . These changes in frequency happen in only
1/2000th of a second — so fast, they are invisible to users, even if they occur in the middle of performanceintensive applications.
PC-cillin 2000 (optional) Utility
Installs T r end’s PC-cillin 2000, a world-class anti-virus protection software for the new Internet era, to keep
your PC virus-free. This very powerful anti-virus software is bundled with each Notebook PC to protect your

protect them. You may skip this software if you have your own anti-virus software.
