8. Select the option Install Windows for Workgroups Drivers and HP Applications
Software, which loads the special drivers you need with the OmniBook. It also
loads OmniBook-specific software: the online User’s Guide, the Appointment
Book, the Phone Book, the HP Calculator, OmniBook diagnostics, OmniBook
Tools, and the icon-print routine for shortcut key assignments.
9. Select the WfW Install option appropriate for your CD-ROM drive: SCSI port or
PC-card slot/parallel port.
This re-installation process can take an hour or more. When the above installation is
done, you can use Windows to add printers and enable networks.
If the Windows for Workgroups Setup (above) fails due to a problem with
the display driver
Specify VGA for the display driver.
If you need to recover the online User's Guide
If you have deleted the online User's Guide but would like to re-gain access to
it, you can re-install it from the Recovery CD ROM. Run
OMNIBOOK\HPUTIL\DISK1\SETUP.EXE.
If the OmniBook doesn’t turn on with a fresh battery
If you replaced the battery after the OmniBook turned off due to a low battery,
either plug in the ac adapter—or turn off the OmniBook, then hold
F4 and press
the On/Off key (
F4+ON) to turn it on.
If your password doesn’t work
Check whether Num Lock (Nm Lk) is off. Try changing it.
If you’ve forgotten your password, have your OmniBook at hand and call
Hewlett-Packard at the phone number in the Service and Support booklet.
If the OmniBook beeps repeatedly
If two beeps occur every 10 seconds or so, battery power is critically low and
less than 2 minutes of operation remain. Plug in the ac adapter—or turn off the
OmniBook and insert a fresh battery (see chapter 1).
