Troubleshooting Solving Problems Performance Problems If the OmniBook’s internal clock loses time • Plug in ac adapter for 24 hours to charge backup battery. If the OmniBook gets hot • It is normal for the computer to get hot. • Make sure the air vents are clear. • DOS games and other programs that drive CPU usage toward 100% can contribute to the temperature. If the OmniBook pauses or runs sluggishly • This may be normal Windows 95 behavior (background processing can affect response time). • If the hard disk has spun down to conserve power, it can take several seconds to spin up. Run BIOS Setup and increase the hard disk time-out.
• Certain background operations (such as virus scans) can affect performance while they’re running. • Some file browsers may be unresponsive while they’re processing a graphic image or waiting for broken network connections to time out. • Run BIOS Setup and try turning off smart CPU mode. • Install additional memory if Windows is spending a lot of time swapping to disk. • Check amount of available free disk space. 8-9
