Support CD for Windows ME & 2000
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® 95/98/ME/2000/NT4.0 (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 2000. 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 & 2000
The following are descriptions of what each autorun menu item does when selected with the mouse. 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 Windows. 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.
VGA Driver (required)
Installs “Silicon Motion Lynx3DM” display drivers for your operating system in order to properly use the
Notebook PC’s built-in graphics and to provide optimal features. Once the display driver is installed, you can
change your display’s resolution and color through Display Properties. Right click the desktop and choose
Properties or choose Display from the Control Panel. See this section for basic procedures on setting the
display. Read the Windows documentation or W indows help files for detailed information if necessary.

through Windows and help can be located within Windows documentation or Windows help files.
SpeedStep (recommended)

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.

optional software to help you better manage your Notebook PC’s resources.
TouchPad (recommended)

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.
Hotkey Utility (optional)
Installs Hotkey utility . Hotkey utility is a program designed to intercept key strokes so that key assignments
can be made to run a program or script. This program cannot be used to change default keys or key combinations used by other software, operating systems, or by the Notebook PC’s hardware. The Hotkey utility is
currently not available for W indows 2000/NT4.0.

The network device has the ability to send and receive packets at the same time (full-duplexing) at both 10
and 100 Mbps. In order to reap the benefits of full duplexing, you MUST have a full duplex hub or switch.
The network device has the added ability to “talk” to the hub or switch and determine at which mode to
communicate (either full or half duplex). This is called auto-negotiation. You must have an auto-negotiating
hub or switch to get full duplex support with the Duplex Mode set to Auto. If you don’t have an auto-
negotiating hub or switch and want to run at full duplex, set Duplex Mode to Full and then set the SPEED
parameter to either 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps.
