Manufacturers regularly update and repair programs and drivers. You
should check manufacturers’ sites for any additional hardware that you
have purchased for your system (e.g. your printer, external drives) and
update your drivers as needed.
The BIOS updates will help make sure that the hardware in your WinBook
notebook is running efficiently. You can also update Windows by taking
advantage of the Windows Update feature built into Windows 2000 and the
Automatic Windows Update feature built into Windows Me. You must have
some kind of Internet connection (network, Dial-up, online service) to take
advantage of the Windows Update feature. In Windows 2000 this update
will check your installation and inform you of Windows components that
you have yet to install. To use this update, click on the Windows Update
icon on the Start menu. Follow the instructions provided, or check the
Windows documentation (online or text manual). In Windows Me, these
checks and updates are done automatically in the background (see the
Windows Help and Support center for information about disabling this
automatic function).
Cleaning
Case: If your case becomes soiled, you can clean it. Make sure that the
computer is turned off and the AC Adapter is unplugged. You can clean the
case with a soft, lint-free cloth. If necessary, you can use a mild detergent
(applied to the cloth, not to the computer). After cleaning, allow 30 minutes
drying time. Avoid any cleaner than has abrasives in it and DO NOT use
cleaning solvents such as thinner, benzene or isopropyl alcohol-based prod-
ucts. Never spray or pour anything directly on the computer.
Display: Before cleaning the screen, be sure that you power the system
down and unplug it. Use a clean, soft cloth and appropriate anti-static
cleaning solution. Do not spray the screen. Spray the cleaning solution
onto the cloth and gently wipe the screen with the damp cloth.
