This section describes how to customize the OmniBook for use with Windows
95 including the following:
Automatically detecting a CD.
Running an MS-DOS program outside Windows 95.
Using the OmniBook 3000 Port Replicator.
Resolving Infrared problems.
To automatically detect a CD
You can set up your system to automatically detect and respond when you insert a
CD. However, this setup prevents the OmniBook from automatically turning off after
a period of inactivity if the CD-ROM drive is present.
1. From Control Panel, double-click System, then click Device Manager.
2. Double-click CD-ROM drive.
3. Select the CD-ROM driver displayed, then click Properties.
4. Click Settings, then click Auto Insert Notification.
5. Click OK to save and exit.
To run an MS-DOS program outside of Windows 95
If you want to run an MS-DOS program outside of Windows 95 and still have sound
and other system devices enabled, use the special MS-DOS Mode command.
1. From the Start menu, select Programs, OmniBook, MS-DOS Mode.
This shuts down Windows and loads drivers for MS-DOS.
2. Run your MS-DOS program.
3. When finished, type exit to restart Windows.
