reset the computer. If you have not saved your data, it may be lost. To reset
the computer, press and hold the power button for 4 seconds or more. If the
system is still not reset, remove the ac adapter and the battery.

.
Solution:
For Windows 98:
The generic CD-ROM or DVD-ROM driver for Windows 98 accesses the
internal CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive every 3 seconds to see if a
CD-ROM is inserted in the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive. This prevents
your computer from entering standby mode even after a timeout. To prevent
this from occurring, do the following:
1. Click Start.
2. Move the cursor to Settings and Control Panel.
3. Click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
4. Click the Device Manager tab.
5. Click the + mark of CD-ROM.
6. Double-click the name of the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.
7. Click the Setting tab.
8. Clear the Auto insert notification check box.
Windows 98 no longer detects the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM insertion
automatically.
For Windows NT:
If you have enabled the CD-ROM AutoRun feature, the computer does not
enter standby mode through the timer. To enable the timer, disable the
AutoRun feature by editing the configuration information in the registry as
follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\
Autorun: 0x1 > Autorun: 0
