Memory Problems
If a Message Reports That You Are Out of Memory
■ Make sure drive C is not running low on free space.
■ If you are having memory problems while running MS-DOS
programs, select Start > Help and Support. Use the MS-DOS
or Application and Software troubleshooter in Windows
Help.
■ The full amount of RAM in your notebook is not available
for running applications. A certain amount of RAM is
used for display memory. The amount of display memory
is shown in the BIOS Setup utility.
If Memory Does Not Increase After Adding RAM
Make sure your notebook is using only PC2100 DDR 266-MHz
or higher memory (RAM) modules.
If the Notebook Beeps But Does Not Start After
Adding RAM
You installed an incompatible type of RAM. Remove the module.
Modem Problems
If the Modem Seems Slow
■ Excess static or noise on a line reduces the overall
transmission speed of the modem connection. If necessary,
contact your telephone company about fixing this type of
problem.
■ If you are dialing internationally, line noise is often a problem
that is difficult or impossible to eliminate.
■ If you have call-waiting, disable it. Your telephone company
can provide instructions. Call-waiting can cause symptoms
similar to static.
