ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. !!! IMPORTANT INFORMATION !!! ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

20 December 1996.

Due to a change in management direction, the IBM PC Assistant has ceased to
exist as a separate entity.  Most of the content is being migrated to a Lotus
Notes database, from which external access will be made available through a
World Wide Web site. The name of this new database, and the URL, are not yet
known at this time.  Hopefully all will be made clear in due time.

Because it may be months yet before this database is opened to the public, I
have produced one more PC Assistant edition to partially fill the gap.  Because
I only had a few days in which to put it together, many of the new product
announcements since early August, when the last edition was released) are not
included.  There are no new technical specs here, and not much else of note
(aside from some new OS/2 Q&As.) added.  Most of the changes are in the form of
minor corrections and updates to existing Q&As, and many price reductions and
product withdrawals in the IBM PC Marketing Assistant.

I am sorry for the lengthy delay in releasing this long-overdue edition, but
the new database should be a big improvement in the long run, with a more
worldwide focus (international product models, for example), and more timely
updates (daily perhaps), supported by dozens of people around the world.

It is possible that I will release one final edition after this one, in order
to provide the details of where and how to access the new WWW database.  It all
depends on how well publicized it is.  But the amount of time and effort put
into it on my part will probably equal that of this edition, so don't expect
too much.

It's been a pleasure and an honor serving you these last 7 years.

Good luck (and watch out for Murphy!).

The IBM Consumer PC Assistant contains information about IBM products designed
for home and home office use, including the Ambra, Aptiva, and PS/1 systems and
options.

OVERVIEW

There are many sources of information available from IBM about IBM PC products,
including announcement letters, service manuals, programming and technical
reference manuals, how-to "cookbooks," electronic bulletin boards (both public
and commercial), and others.  The IBM PC Assistant brings much disparate and
often difficult to find information together into one easy-to-use "electronic
book."

Note:  As the IBM PC Assistant is a product of the IBM PC Company, the
information contained herein covers the subset of IBM PC products sold by the
IBM PC Company.  Most other PC-related products, sold by other IBM companies or
divisions are not included.  Such products include the IBM Gearbox industrial
PCs, and certain host-attach hardware and software products.  Information on
these products must be obtained from the organizations offering them for sale.

 The reason for having a number of different books instead of just one large
 one is two-fold.  First, there is so much information provided that it might
 be awkward to use, and would take longer to search through than smaller books.
 And second, by dividing up all of this information into related subject
 matter, those who don't need certain categories of information (such as
 service tips, for example), can delete entire books to save disk space.
 Besides, these files can be logically linked together and viewed or searched
 as one large book, at your preference.  (This procedure is explained in the
 accompanying ASST.TXT file.)  For convenience, the files will be collectively
 called the "IBM PC Assistant" throughout the rest of this document.

 Not only is the information more "centrally located" this way than distributed
 across all the individual documents, but due to its electronic nature, the
 specific information you seek can be found more quickly and easily.  The
 source information is compiled into binary files that take roughly half as
 much disk space as ASCII files would.  And since the compiler also creates a
 "data dictionary" of all words and numbers anywhere in the files, all
 occurrences can be found and displayed on-screen in only a few seconds via the
 search facility provided.  In addition, hypertext links (hyperlinks) allow you
 to jump from section to section within a book without ever having to return to
 the Table of Contents.  Hyperlinks are also used to display popup footnote
 windows at the point of the footnote reference, rather than making you have to
 scroll down to the bottom of a page, or the end of a chapter, to find the
 footnoted information.

 The IBM PC Assistant is created by compiling a scripted ASCII text file, using
 the Information Presentation Facility (IPF) Tag Language and Compiler.  They
 are included in the OS/2 2.1 or 3.0 Developer's Toolkits, IBM Hyperwise editor
 (P/N 30H1731--3.5"), and IBM C Set++ First Step V2.1 (P/N 82G3744--3.5";
 82G3746--CD-ROM") packages, among others.  The IBM PC Assistant requires OS/2
 1.2 or later to operate, because it uses the OS/2 VIEW.EXE command to access
 the files.  This is the same command used to display the online OS/2 Command
 Reference.  Since both files were created with the same compiler, and are
 displayed by the same command, they look and act very much alike.  So if you
 know how to use one, you also know how to use the other.

 Note:  The IBM PC Assistant was tested, and does work, across an OS/2 LAN
 Server V1.2 or later network, relieving the need for disk space on the
 requester, not to mention not having to keep all those requesters updated with
 the latest versions of the IBM PC Assistant books.  (For instructions on
 Setting Up an OS/2 LAN Server to Share Online Books, see the document by the
 same name in the Networking Tips section of the PS Technical Assistant.)

  HOW TO USE THE IBM PC ASSISTANT

 Note:  The following instructions are written for users of the native OS/2
 online book version of these publications.  Most of the explanations will
 apply equally to the World Wide Web version of the books, however some minor
 differences may exist.

 Before you begin to use this tool, it is helpful to understand how to:

     Expand the Contents to see all available topics
     Obtain additional information for a highlighted word or phrase
     Use action bar choices.

 How to use the Table of Contents
 When the Contents window first appears, some topics have a plus (+) sign
 beside them.  The plus sign indicates that additional topics are available.

 To expand the Contents if you are using a mouse, click on the plus sign.  If
 you are using the keyboard, use the Up or Down Arrow key to highlight the
 topic, and press the plus (+) key. For example, Part Number / Pricing /
 Availability List has a plus sign beside it.  To see the complete list of Part
 Numbers, etc, click on the plus sign or highlight that topic and press the
 plus (+) key.

 To view a topic, double-click on the topic (or press the Up or Down Arrow key
 to highlight the topic, and then press the Enter key).

 Note:  To exit from any panel (window), including this one, simply press the
 ESC key, or double-click on the icon to the left of the panel title bar (NOT
 the one to the left of the IBM PC Assistant title bar, or you will close the
 IBM PC Assistant).  This will return you to the point from which you entered
 the panel (either the Table Of Contents or another panel).  This may be done a
 number of times in succession to step back through layers of panels, or until
 the TOC is reached.

 How to obtain additional information
 After you select a topic, the information for that topic appears in a window.
 Words, phrases, or numbers highlighted like this or this indicate that
 additional information is available, either in the form of a footnote, or
 sometimes an entire section.  Hyperlinks are used in some areas to help you
 jump from one section of a document directly to another, without having to
 return to a menu. (If you don't find this color to be easily identifiable as a
 hyperlink, you may change the color, as described below.)  Use the mouse, or
 Tab and Enter keys, to move between all the hyperlinks within a document.  For
 example:

 Certain words in the following section are highlighted in this way.  If you
 are using a mouse, double-click on the highlighted words.  If you are using a
 keyboard, press the Tab key to move from one highlighted word to the next, (or
 Shift-Tab to backup) and then press the Enter key.  Additional information
 will appear in a pop-up window.

 Note:  The windows that pop up when you double-click on a hypertext link are
 sizable.  Simply drag the sides or corners of the windows to the desired size
 and shape, just as you would any other PM window.

 Note:  Headings are assigned the color red throughout the IBM PC Assistant.
 The Change Bars (|), which indicate additions or revisions since the last
 release of the IBM PC Assistant, are also highlighted in red to make them
 easier to find.  (All other colors are as set by your OS/2 Control Panel (OS/2
 1.x), or Scheme Palette (OS/2 2.x) selections.  If a color, or combination of
 colors, is not to your liking, you may change them to something more pleasing.
 The operative choices are: Help Text, Help Background, and Help Highlight.)

 Tip:  An easy way to find ALL changes since the last version is to Search for
 the Change Bar character.  This can be typed by holding the Shift key while
 typing the backslash key (on U.S. English 101-key keyboards--other keyboards
 may differ).

 How to use the Action Bar options
 A number of choices are available for managing information presented in the
 IBM PC Assistant.  If you want to see more information about these choices,
 click on the name of the choice (or press the Tab key to move to the choice
 and press Enter).

 Search
       Allows you to find occurrences of a word or phrase in the current topic,
       selected topics, or all topics. (This choice is available from the
       Services pull-down.)

 Print
       Allows you to print one or more topics. (This choice is available from
       the Services pull-down.)

 Copy
       Allows you to copy a topic you are viewing to a file you can edit. (This
       choice is available from the Services pull-down.)

 Options
       Allows you to change the way your Table of Contents is displayed.

 Bookmark (This choice is available from the Contents pull-down.)
       Allows you to set a placeholder so you can retrieve information of
       interest to you. (This choice is available from the Services pull-down.)

 Help
       Provides online help panels for using the Help facility.

 How to use the Push Buttons
 The Search, Print, and Index push buttons arrayed across the bottom of the
 panel duplicate the functions of the same-name Action Bar options.  In
 addition there are buttons marked Previous, Contents, Back, and Forward.
 Previous simply steps you back through the series of panels you have just
 looked at, in the reverse order of how you originally looked at them.  By
 contrast, Back, uses the Table of Contents to step backward through all the
 sections listed in the TOC, in reverse order, from the current section.
 Forward, naturally, steps you forward through all the TOC entries.  And
 Contents pops the TOC list on top of whatever panel you are currently viewing.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3. IBM PC Assistant Series Survey ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Here's your chance to tell IBM what to do!  If you like the IBM PC Assistant
series of books (ThinkPad Assistant, OS Assistant, Marketing Assistant, etc.),
say so.  If you would like to see new information, or different ways of
organizing the existing information, say so.  If you think some information is
a complete waste of space, let me know (and why you think so).  Your feedback
is valuable, and will help direct the future of the IBM PC Assistant. (No
guarantees that any or all suggestions will be implemented, but if you don't
ask you'll never know.)

You can return this survey by printing and mailing it to the address provided,
or by using Ctrl-Insert on the survey screen to copy it to the OS/2 clipboard
and then pasting it into a word processor and filling it out, PROFS and IBMMail
users can paste it into a note and send it to me at: MCHAPMAN at RALVM8 for
IBMers, or USIB3ZLD at IBMMAIL for external customers with IBMLink access.
CompuServers can reach me at: 72662,3663.  Or [e-mail] for
Internet users.  And you can even fax it to me (isn't technology wonderful?) at
919-517-1229.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Now an Online Database on CompuServe and the WWW ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you know any users of IBM PC-related products who could benefit from the
information in the IBM PC Assistant, but who are not OS/2 users, another
alternative is the searchable databases on CompuServe and the World Wide Web.

The IBM PC Assistant Database on CompuServe, which contains most of the
information in the various IBM PC Assistant books in an ASCII format (so no
hyperlinks or bitmap images), can be reached with the GO word PCASSIST.  (You
also can reach it via GO IBM, then select the Technical Services and Support,
and IBM PC Assistant Database menu options.)  Of course, this only helps
CompuServe users, but it allows users of almost any operating system to access
the data via CompuServe.

The latest addition is a World Wide Web version of the IBM PC Assistant that is
be accessible from any of the online services, as well as directly.  Because it
uses an INF-to-HTML conversion tool to create the web page, it looks just like
the INF files in terms of the structure (data organization, pushbutton
placement, etc.).  Hyperlinks work like they do on other web pages.  The only
limitation is that the imbedded bitmap images from the INF file are not
available in the HTML version.  Otherwise it should work exactly like the INF
version.  To see it, point your browser to the Team-OS/2 web page at
http://www.teamos2.org/ibm/os2support/.  There is a link near the top of that
page to Online BOOKS and NEWSLETTERS.  (There are quite a few other books to
choose from on that web page.)  Or go directly to:
http://www.teamos2.org/ibm/os2support/books/assisttoc.html to bypass the first
panel. |

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.2. Industry Reviews: Aptiva ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A sampling of industry praise bestowed on the IBM Aptiva line of home and small
office systems:

 Quotes
  "[The Aptiva Magic M50 is] our choice for the home user.  [It was the] top
   ranking performer in all our tests.  IBM bundles lots of software with this
   100MHz system and takes care of customers with good support and a generous
   warranty.  [P]erformance on benchmark tests was above average....  [It] did
   well across our multimedia tests ... did not drop frames....  [A]
   substantial amount of software comes with the Aptiva. [Five-star rating (out
   of five)]." [Comparison of 13 PCs, including Acer, Compaq, Comtrade, Dell,
   Diamond, Gateway, Micron, MidWest Micro, NEC, Packard Bell, Quantex, and
   USAFlex.] (ComputerLife Magazine, Dec95)
  "The Aptiva sports a robust collection of telephone features...  Its 100mhz
   machine turned in speeds up to 55 percent better than the quickest 75mhz
   machine reviewed ... speeds we wouldn't expect from a mere 33 percent
   increase in clock speed." (Home Office Computing, Nov95)
  "The Aptiva is no weakling...  For multimedia, it's clearly the winner."
   [Comparison of Aptiva and Compaq Presario] (PC Computing Magazine, Nov95)
  "Some family PCs claim multimedia capability based on nothing but a sound
   card and a CD-ROM drive, but IBM's Aptiva M50 is a multimedia machine
   through and through...  It's one of the best multimedia family machines
   we've reviewed...  It gets a rating of 3.5 stars [out of 4]." (Family PC
   Magazine, Nov95)
  "IBM deserves the Most Improved Award for its nifty new Aptiva 750, a
   powerful yet compact model brimming with multimedia goodies ... the system
   delivers a big bang for the buck" (Home PC Magazine, Nov95)
  "Top PC companies allow people to call an 800 for help.  Several can
   diagnose your PC over phone lines.  IBM's innovation: You can talk to
   technicians while they analyze your PC." (USA Today, 08Sep95)
  "[Compared to Compaq Presario CDS 924,] for those willing to pay for a top
   notch system, the Aptiva 530 from IBM is a better buy. [The Aptiva pros:
   Well designed, fastest 486, innovative features, first-rate reliability and
   service.] IBM's reliability and service record is first rate, with one of
   the lowest problem and DOA rates in our reader poll.  Best Buy. [Comparison
   of home PCs from AST, Compaq, Gateway, IBM, Micron, and Packard Bell.] (PC
   World Magazine - Lotus Edition, Jan95)
  "IBM's new Aptiva computers, which replace the popular PS/1 line, offer
   unprecedented all-in-one support for multimedia software. But you'll also
   like the 530's easy interface and its sensible features. For instance, this
   computer lets you receive faxes while it's turned off and plan your day with
   its resident scheduling utility..." [ComputerLife Magazine, Jan95]
  "Easily the best designed home system (PC World) reviewed." [Comparison of
   home PCs from IBM, Compaq, Gateway 2000, AST, Micron, and Packard Bell] (PC
   World Magazine, p. 181, Jan95)
  "The IBM Aptiva [530] had a monitor to die for.  Flat, clear and
   exceptionally crisp, the monitor's video card supported a vast number of
   options.  The clear winner in the audio category was Aptiva.  With its more
   advanced wavetable card and excellent speakers, its sound was smooth and
   pleasing.  The IBM Aptiva proves that you can't count anyone out.  This is a
   beautifully designed machine, with by far the best monitor of the lot and
   the best experience for a novice user.  It features clear, crisp tutorials
   that lead the beginner into Windows, rather than masking it with a pretty
   face.  Performance was excellent and we had great success with our titles
   test (test of CD-ROM software).  The speakers were also very good, much
   better than Compaq's.  This machine was our overall winner." [Comparison of
   home multimedia PCs from Acer, Compaq, Dell, Gateway 2000, IBM, and Packard
   Bell] (Newmedia Magazine, Dec94)
  "...Big Blue is replacing the PS/1 with an impressive new line of PCs called
   the Aptiva.  Among its many technical advancements... [it] boasts an
   enhanced parallel port ... [to] speed up printing.... [It] provides a
   built-in interface for high-speed peripherals that normally require their
   own adapter cards, such as CD-ROM drives and local area networks.  [The 530]
   featured a pair of the biggest 30-watt speakers [we have] ever seen in a
   standard computer configuration.  [It] is well-built, uses top-of-the-line
   technology, and comes with a complete laundry list of software and hardware,
   all at a reasonable price." (Home Office Computing Magazine, p. 36, Oct94)

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.1. Ambra Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Q. Where do I go for Ambra technical support?
A. Call Ambra technical support at 800-465-2227, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week;
or the Ambra BBS at 905-316-7952.  Service support is provided by IBM by
calling 800-IBM-SERV.

Q. Now that Ambra Corp. is no longer in business, how long will this technical
support last?
A. IBM has contracted with an outside agency to provide technical support for
an indefinite period; but at least several years, depending on the call volume.

Q. What kind of memory do I need for my Ambra Blue Lightning (486BL2/486BL3)
based system?
A. 70ns, parity (xMB x 36), tin-lead SIMMs.  Non-parity SIMMS won't work.

Q. What kind of memory do I need for my Pentium-based Ambra system?
A. 70ns, tin-lead SIMMs.  On Pentium systems SIMMs must be installed in pairs
(one bank).  You can use either parity or non-parity SIMMs.  If you try to mix
a bank of parity SIMMs with a bank of non-parity SIMMS, the second bank will be
disabled. In other words, you can't mix SIMM types--neither within a bank nor
in separate banks.

Q. What if I need a math coprocessor for a 486SLC2-based system?
A. An Intel 387SX (or compatible) coprocessor may be added.

Q. What if I need a math coprocessor for a Blue Lightning-based system?
A. An Intel 387DX (or compatible) coprocessor may be added.

Q. Are there any BIOS patches for Ambra systems?
A. Yes.  Some of the Ambra systems require BIOS patches.  Call the BBS, above,
to see the list of patches available.

 Q. Where can I buy an Aptiva system?
 A. Call 800-IBM-3377 for the name of a retailer near you, or call IBM PC
 Direct at 800-IBM-2YOU.

 Q. Where can I go for technical support?
 A. The documentation that came with your system includes the information on
 where to go for voice and electronic support during the free support period.
 Among electronic support sites are Prodigy (JUMP: CLUB) and CompuServe (GO
 APTIVA).

 Q. Where do I go for post-warranty service and technical support?
 A. Call 800-IBM-7697 for information on the IBM HelpWare offerings.

 Q. Does my warranty support cover network adapters that I install in my Aptiva
 system?
 A. The Aptiva line is designed and priced as a stand-alone unit.  Options such
 as network adapters are compatible in most cases, but have not been certified
 by our development team.  Therefore they are not supported for use on the
 Aptiva.  "Not supported" does not mean that these adapters will not work, it
 simply means that we cannot assist you with the installation, configuration or
 troubleshooting of these options under the warranty agreement.  We will,
 however, verify that your system's original hardware and pre-installed
 software are functioning correctly as provided by the terms and conditions of
 your warranty.

 Q. I'm confused by the part numbers versus the model numbers.  Can you
 cross-reference them?
 A. Here they are:

 Part Number    Model
 2134-Cxx       Aptiva Cxx
 2144-22P       Aptiva 310
 2144-24P       Aptiva 330
 2144-25P       Aptiva 335

 2168-Axx       Aptiva Axx
 2168-Mxx       Aptiva Mxx
 2176-Cxx       Aptiva Cxx

 (i.e., a 2144-M30 is an Aptiva M30, a 2168-A15 is an Aptiva A15, and a
 2176-C67 is an Aptiva C67.)

 Q. Where can I get other information about Aptiva, and other products, from
 IBM?
 A. Try calling the IBM PC Company fax system at 800-IBM-3395 via touch-tone
 phone.  When prompted for an account code, type IBMPROD (or 4267763).  (A fax
 machine or fax/modem is only required to receive the faxes, not to initiate
 the call.)

 General Hardware Q&As
 Q. Is it safe to use gold-plated memory SIMMs in tin-lead SIMM sockets, or
 vice versa?  I've heard conflicting opinions?
 A. The industry consensus from memory and motherboard manufacturers is that
 mixing gold and tin contacts will cause degalvanization of the gold contacts,
 leading to corrosion and data errors over time.  Where there is little
 consensus is on how long this will take and how big a problem it is.
 Long-term mixing of gold and tin, therefore, is not a good idea.  Some memory
 and motherboard manufacturers, including IBM, do not support the mixing of
 metals and any damage caused by this practice may void the warranty of the
 affected component.  However it is probably safe to do so for a reasonably
 short period of time.  How short is impossible to say, as it depends on the
 quality of the components themselves and environmental factors (such as
 humidity and dust), but a period of weeks or months is not unreasonable.
 (This is not a guarantee by any means and you are responsible for any problems
 that may result, but many people have successfully done this for a year or
 more without incident.)  Of course, this assumes that the SIMMs are otherwise
 acceptable, except for the type of metal used for the contacts.  (In other
 words, the motherboard requires 70ns 72-pin Industry Standard tin-lead SIMMs,
 and you substitute SIMMs that are identical except for gold-plated contacts.)

 Q. Which Aptiva models have serial ports with 16550 UARTs (serial port
 controllers)?
 A. Aptiva 510 (21xx-6xx) and higher, and all Aptiva Mxx and Axx (21xx-Mxx or
 21xx-Axx) models use the 16550.  Lower numbered models (e.g., 21xx-2xx) use
 the 16450.

 Q. Which Aptiva models use external (L2) processor cache?
 A. Aptiva 510 (21xx-6xx) and higher, and all Mxx/Axx models support an
 external cache.  The -8xx models ship with the maximum 256K cache, while the
 -6xx models ship with no cache installed, but are upgradeable to 128K or 256K.
 The Mxx models ship with no cache installed, but are upgradeable to 256K or
 512K.

 Q. Does Aptiva support IDE or Enhanced IDE (EIDE) drives?
 A. Both.  Up to two drives can be EIDE.  The Western Digital EIDE
 specification allows drives larger than 527MB to be used without special
 partitioning.

 Q. What is the maximum capacity the EIDE controller supports?
 A. Up to 8.4GB per drive.

 Q. I was going to install an IDE CD-ROM drive in my Aptiva system, but the
 second IDE cable (the one attached to the floppy drive) had a smaller cable
 than the one connected to the hard drive.  I couldn't attach it there, so I
 used the cable attached to the hard drive.  Why is the other cable
 non-standard?
 A. That "second IDE cable" is connected to the diskette drive controller, not
 the second IDE controller.  To attach more than 2 IDE devices you need an
 optional IDE cable (IBM P/N 06H3610, or equivalent).

 Q. What SVGA video chips are used in Aptiva?
 A. The Aptiva 3xx models use the Cirrus 5426 chipset, and the 5xx models use
 the Cirrus 5430, while the 7xx models use the S3 Vision864 chipset.  The
 Mxx/Axx models have the Trident 9680XGi chipset with a 64-bit GUI accelerator.

 Q. Can I use a PS/2 monitor with my Aptiva?
 A. Sure, but be aware that depending on the monitor you may be limited to VGA
 resolution only, or flickery interlaced mode, even though your video
 controller is capable of better.

 Q. Are Aptivas Novell-certified?
 A. The Aptiva systems have not gone through official Novell certification,
 however IBM has done extensive in-house testing and found no incompatibilities
 with NetWare.

 Q. I see that Aptiva systems ship with non-parity memory.  Do they support
 parity memory, and if so, do I have to remove the non-parity SIMMs?
 A. Yes, they do support parity memory.  You can mix parity and non-parity
 memory, however the system BIOS will disable parity checking for all memory.
 The only way to get parity checking is to use only parity memory; but mixing
 both types can be a temporary solution until you can replace the non-parity
 memory.  (And the non-parity SIMMs can always be added to another Aptiva or
 other system that supports non-parity memory.)  If you use only parity memory
 in an Aptiva 3xx model with only two SIMM sockets, you may need to change the
 J50 jumper on the motherboard to enable parity.  Refer to your Aptiva
 documentation for jumper information.

 Q. If I suspend the system while a game is playing, after resuming the sound
 is wrong.  What happened?
 A. When using Rapid Resume in DOS the sound may not be restored properly.
 This is especially true when playing games.  What happens is that the game
 reprograms the DMA controller on the motherboard.  After you resume the sound
 card driver attempts to restore the state of the DMA controller for the sound
 card, but cannot because the game that was running has reprogrammed the DMA
 controller. The driver can't read the DMA registers (which are write-only) and
 so has no way of knowing the proper state to restore.  This causes the sound
 to not function correctly.  The only "solution" is to stop playing the game,
 or disable the sound card, before suspending the system.

 Q. I installed a second IDE hard drive and now I get intermittent 1762 errors
 during POST.  What's wrong?
 A. It could be a timing error.  If you have the BIOS set up to do a "quick"
 Power On Self Test it might be too quick for the drive to finish spinning up
 to speed.  Try setting the BIOS back to "enhanced" POST.  If the problem
 continues, contact the drive vendor about possible warranty service.

 Q. I've installed an IBM DualStor 800 tape drive and DualStor software in my
 Aptiva, but when I try to use it I get a "Tape driver error 23, Drive not
 found" error.  What can I do?
 A. If you see this error, add the following statement to OS/2's CONFIG.SYS or
 DOS's AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

    SET IROPT=h

 Note:  Lowercase is required on the h.

 Q. I'm getting read errors from my new Quantum 1.08GB hard drive when used in
 drive bay 5 of my 2168 (minitower) system, but not when used in any other
 drive bay.  What gives?
 A. This is a weird one.  These drives spin at 5400 RPMs.  The problem is
 caused by excess vibration from the hard drive operating frequency matching
 the mini-tower chassis resonant frequency.  But this only happens in bay 5's
 "D-bracket" and only with with 5400 RPM HDs.  If you wish to install a second
 hard drive do not move the 1.08G Quantum to Bay 5, or install any other 5400
 RPM drives, without removing the "D-bracket" first.  If you install any hard
 drive that operates at other than 5400 RPMs, then you should use the existing
 D-bracket.

 Q. Can I use the IBM P-Series monitors with my Aptiva?
 A. Yes.  The P-Series monitors (P50/P70/...) will work fine with the Aptivas,
 and in fact if you have an Aptiva Mxx or Axx system, the monitor and system
 will "talk" to one another using the built-in VESA Display Data Channel (DDC)
 support to auto-configure the monitor to its optimum resolution and frequency
 settings.

 Q. I'm using a G40 moniter with my Mxx/Axx system and it flickers. Is there
 any thing that can be done about it?
 A. Download MFLASH.EXE from the IBM PC Company BBS, or other electronic
 sources.

 Q. What (physical) size drives can I put in my 2144 model Aptiva?
 A. Drive bays 1, 3 and 4 are all "slim-high" 3.5" bays (only bay 4 is
 available; the other two have the diskette and hard drive installed).  Bay 2
 is a half-height 5.25" bay with a CD-ROM drive installed.

 Q. What is the maximum size IDE hard disks that can be supported by the
 built-in EIDE controllers?  How many devices can be put on the EIDE
 controllers?
 A. The motherboard EIDE controllers can support up to four 8.4GB IDE hard
 drives (two per controller).

 General Software Q&As
 Q. I'm having trouble installing Personal Netware on my Aptiva with IBM DOS 7.
 I get DOSXMGR errors when I try to run it.  What can I do?
 A. The DPMS.EXE program must be loaded immediately after the EMM386 statement
 in CONFIG.SYS, but for some reason Personal NetWare installs it (via the
 STARTNET.BAT program) much later in CONFIG.SYS.  If you move the DPMS.EXE
 statement to where it should be your problem should be resolved.

 Q. I bought a copy of the IBM Family FunPak for OS/2 (or bought an Aptive Mxx
 system which came with a copy), and I'm having trouble getting sound with the
 SimCity Classic game included with the FunPak.  What's wrong?
 A. That game requires at least 10MB of memory in order for sound to be
 enabled.

 Q. I'm having trouble getting sound from the DOS SimCity game.  What can I do?
 A. Check your SimCity directory for a file called PMSND.D$$.  If you find one,
 rename it to PMSND.DLL.  This should correct the problem.

 Q. I'm also having trouble getting some of the videos in the Exercising during
 Pregnancy section of the Childhood Development Guide (also part of the IBM
 Family FunPak) to work.  What's wrong?
 A. Same answer.  This program needs at least 10MB of memory for videos.

 Q. I understand there is a way to "single-step" through CONFIG.SYS and
 AUTOEXEC.BAT statements so I can see what is going on.  How do I do that?
 A. When the "Starting PC-DOS..." message appears on your screen press the F8
 key.  This will initiate single-step mode.

 Q. The preloaded software sure takes up a lot of my disk space.  Is there
 anything I can get rid of?
 A. Sure, but it really depends on what you don't want/need.  For example, the
 encrypted and demo Disney software can be deleted to free up some 43MB, if not
 needed.  The total space taken up by the preloaded software is about
 170MB-180MB, so there is a lot of free space that you can reclaim, depending
 on what software you are willing to do without.

 Q. Whenever I try to log onto America OnLine (AOL) I get as far as entering
 the first three characters of my password, SOH, before getting disconnected.
 I have tested the modem with other software and it is fine.  What's wrong?
 A. The letters SO are the ASCII key combination for the Alt key.  So what you
 are actually typing in is the equivalent of Alt-H, which is the hangup command
 for the AOL software!  Try changing your password to something else and you
 should be fine.

 Q. Is it really safe to just delete Windows application directories?
 A. No.  That will likely leave "trash" in various .INI files, CONFIG.SYS, and
 AUTOEXEC.BAT.  If the application itself doesn't offer an uninstall feature,
 it would be best to purchase one of several Windows uninstaller products, such
 as UnInstaller 2 (from MicroHelp) and Remove-It (Vertisoft Systems), designed
 for exactly this purpose.

 Q. I'm getting Stack Fault errors whenever I run Quicken 4.0 and
 PFS:WindowWorks/Power Album, while FaxWorks Call Center is active.  What's
 wrong?
 A. There appears to be a bug in the Call center code.  IBM and the FaxWorks
 developer are working on this problem.  In the meantime, you can temporarily
 disable the FaxWorks Command Button (the button at the top left corner of an
 active Windows app), which will prevent this error.  To do so, click on More
 on the Call Center main screen, then Preferences, then the Command Button
 folder tab, then click on Disable Command Button, and finally click on OK.

 Q. I have heard a rumor that the Quicken SE package preloaded on the Aptivas
 is really "demoware" and will quit after 25 transactions, to force the user to
 upgrade to the full retail Quicken package.  Is this true?
 A. Absolutely not!  The Quicken SE package has fewer features than the full
 retail product, but those features that are included work exactly like the
 full package.  It is not a demo version.

 Q. I'm trying to upgrade my Mxx DOS-Windows-OS/2 system to Windows 95.  It
 works for a while but then something happens and I have to go back to my
 original preload and start over.  Help!
 A. If you intend to use the preloaded software, you will have to purchase an
 upgrade kit from IBM which will uninstall OS/2 and prepare Windows 3.1 to be
 upgraded.

 Q. In my Compton's Encyclopedia the fonts aren't normal and I can't read what
 it says anymore.  What's wrong?
 A. This is caused by the font "monotype sort" that is loaded when Lotus
 SmartSuite is installed.  This font can be deleted from the Windows Control
 Panel.

 Q. I have an Aptiva Axx/Cxx/Mxx system and I want my system to be back to the
 original "out-of-box" condition.  Is there a way of doing this?
 A. Yes, but note that everything on your hard drive will be lost!  Your system
 will have the original preloaded software only!  So be sure to back up
 anything else you want to keep before proceeding.

 If your system originally came with Windows 95:

     Reboot with the Recovery diskette in the A: drive, and the Product
      Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive.
     Answer Yes  to the three questions.

 If your system originally came with DOS-Windows-OS/2 on your system:

     Reboot with the Recovery diskette in the A: drive, and the Product
      Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive.
     When the Recovery menu appears select the option to reload the original
      software.
     Then answer the questions requested by your system.

 Note:  If you have upgraded to Windows 95 and reload your system it will be
 running with the original preloaded software.  This procedure can be faxed to
 you from our Faxback service at 800-426-3395.

 Q. I deleted part of my original software off my Aptiva Axx or Mxx system and
 now I want to get some of it back.  Is there a way of reloading part of my
 original software without going back to the original "out-of-box" condition?
 A. Yes.  The preload software is stored on the Product Recovery CD and can be
 "unzipped" or extracted.  The procedure is as follows and is case-sensitive,
 so be sure to type the commands below exactly.

 If your system originally came with Windows 95:

   1. Go to the DOS prompt.
   2. Put in the Product Recovery CD (multimedia CD).
   3. Change to the CD-ROM drive. (D:)
   4. Change to the \RECOVERY\US directory.

 To extract a single file type: pkunzip -d -o -smagic *.zip c:\(filename)

 To extract an entire directory type: pkunzip -d -o -smagic *.zip
 c:\(directory)\*.*

 If your system originally came with DOS-Windows-OS/2:

   1. Boot with Recovery Disk 1.
   2. Remove Disk 1 and insert Disk 2 when prompted.
   3. When the Recovery menu appears select option 6.
   4. Put in the Product Recovery CD (multimedia CD).
   5. Change to the CD-ROM drive.
   6. Change to the \RECOVERY directory (CD\RECOVERY).

 To extract a single file type: unzip -o system (filename) -d c:/

 To extract an entire directory type: unzip -o system (directory)/*.* -d c:/

 Note:  If your system came preloaded with DOS-Windows-OS/2 and you have
 upgraded to Windows 95 this proceedure is not recommended or supported.

 Hardware Q&As
 Q. I get an 1162 error when I turn on my Aptiva 550.  What can I do?
 A. If you see this error, use the Configuration Utility to change "Serial port
 A" to serial 3 (3E8), then save the changes and reboot.  (The Configuration
 Utility is described in your Aptiva Hardware Handbook.)

 Q. I have an Aptiva with a SoundBlaster card installed and the sound volume
 from the speakers is awfully low.  What's wrong?
 A. It could be several things: 1) If the speakers come with an AC adapter,
 plug it into the speakers and a power source.  If they are battery-operated,
 insert batteries.  This should greatly boost the volume.  2) Go into the
 SoundBlaster icon and find the mixer icon and double-click on it.  When the
 audio mixer opens, look at the slider on the far left (with the little
 triangle on it).  This is the master control.  Try adjusting it up and down
 until you find the right volume level.  3) If neither of these options helps,
 look at the back of the sound card to verify that the speaker plug is
 connected to the "Out" jack, and not, for example, the microphone-in jack.

 Q. The joystick attached to my Aria sound card isn't working.  What's wrong?
 A. If you have Rapid Resume enabled it is interfering with the joystick
 initialization.  There are really only two options, neither one desirable: 1)
 Disable Rapid Resume (in the Configuration Utility, third screen), or 2) Run
 the CONFIG program in the \ARIA directory; exit to DOS; then run the MS
 Diagnostics program (MSD).  The joystick should now be recognized.  But you
 would have to do this each time you wish to enable the joystick after booting
 (or rebooting) the system.

 Q. Are there any newer SoundBlaster 16 drivers than those preloaded on my
 Aptiva?
 A. Yes.  Download SB16UP.ZIP from the Creative Labs BBS (405-742-6660), or
 from ftp.creaf.com on the Internet.

 Q. I have installed new Cirrus video drivers on my Aptiva 510 or 530.  But now
 when I run in 256- or 64K-color modes under Windows I get a black or
 mostly-black screen.  What happened?
 A. You need to edit SYSTEM.INI to change change linearaddr =64 to
 linearaddr=128, and then make the same changes in WINMODE.INI and OEM543x
 (about a dozen places).  Then restart Windows.

 Q. I would like to install a 5.25" diskette drive in my Aptiva 510.  What do I
 need?
 A. Order IBM part number 70G8500.  There are probably non-IBM vendors who also
 carry compatible drives.

 Software Q&As
 Q. My Aptiva came with Windows 3.11 installed, so I installed Windows for
 Workgroups 3.11 over it.  Now I'm getting error messages saying that it
 doesn't like a couple of drivers in SYSTEM.INI: INT13IBM.386 and WDCTLIBM.386.
 What are they, and can I safely delete them?
 A. They are customized versions of the Windows 386-mode disk driver files
 (INTI13 and WDCTL) included with Windows.  You could delete them and use the
 default drivers, but then you would lose the support for IDE drives >528MB,
 and 32-bit file transfers (similar to the function included with Windows for
 Workgroups) that are included in the IBM drivers.  A better solution is to
 edit the SYSTEM.INI file and change the device= references from the default
 Windows driver names to those of the IBM drivers.

 Q. I've installed OS/2 Warp FixPak 17 on my Aptiva 2144-Pxx system, and now
 I'm having problems with Rapid Resume.  What can I do?
 A. Read the part of the README.1st file (on the first FixPak diskette) that
 describes where to find the updated files to fix the Rapid Resume problem
 ("RAPID RESUME FIX").

 Q. Is there any way to use the Aptiva CD-ROM to manually restore selected file
 directories?
 A. Yes.  First, change directories to the \RECOVERY\US directory.  Then use
 the following command to unpack individual directories:  PKUNZIP -d

 Note:  It probably wouldn't be a good idea to restore the root directory, due
 to changes in CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and other files that might be
 overwritten.  Also, before restoring other directories, it would be prudent to
 rename any existing .INI files in those directories, so they won't be
 overwritten, and then copy the renamed INI file over the restored one.

 Q. Will OS/2 Warp install on an IBM Aptiva system with Windows 3.11 preloaded?
 A. Yes, but you should call OS/2 technical support, at 800-992-4777, for an
 update package (or download WAPTIVA.ZIP from the IBM PC Company BBS or other
 OS/2 sources) before installing Warp.  It contains a replacement Diskette 1
 for diskette copies of Warp, and a replacement Diskette 2 for CD-ROM copies.

 Q. I've got the WAPTIVA.ZIP package, but the third paragraph in the APTIVA.DOC
 file is incomplete.  It just says, "The list below previ".  What should it
 say?
 A. It should read, "The list below previews the procedures you need to follow
 in order to modify the settings for the software on your Aptiva."

 Q. I installed OS/2 Warp on my Aptiva 7xx model, and I'm having video
 problems.  What's wrong?
 A. You need the updated S3 Vision864 drivers for Warp.  Look for S3_864.ZIP
 from various electronic sources, or contact OS/2 support at 800-992-4777.

 Q. Are there any tips for using Voice Recognition?
 A. The Voice Recognition Reference Card recommends the following tips:

   1. Emphasize the first syllable of each command for better recognition.
   2. You must launch each program from the Program Manager.
   3. You can use the Global Vocabulary commands in any program.
   4. Say "CANCEL" if you get stuck and don't know what to say.
   5. Press and hold the Ctrl key, followed by the Alt key to switch the
      microphone on and off.
   6. Say the commands "Go to sleep" and "Wake up" to temporarily switch the
      microphone on and off.
   7. Say "Switch to" or "Program Manager" in any program, then say the program
      name that you want to go to.
   8. Say "Active words list" to turn on and off the display of the Active
      Words window. Click in Program Manager to move the cursor out of the
      Active Words window.
   9. Watch the Voice Pilot icon at the bottom of your screen to see if your
      command was recognized correctly.
  10. If a command was not heard or did not execute properly, say the command
      again.

 Q. What else can I do with VoicePilot?
 A. You can register your new system just by saying "IBM Registration."  Or use
 more than 250 other commands to control your Aptiva, including "Print It,"
 "Print Two Copies," "Open Schedule," "Tomorrow," and "Automatic Power On."

 Q. I'm having trouble with the VoicePilot not hearing anything.  What's wrong?
 A. Check the MixMaster settings.  Make sure you have the 'Rec' button selected
 under 'Mic'.  Also make sure the mike gain is set reasonably high (but not so
 high that it is picking up everything).

This section deals with hardware information about Aptiva (Model Mxx and Axx)
systems.  Model 3xx/5xx/7xx and Cxx Aptivas are covered in the following
sections:

 Q&A Sections
 Aptiva Overview Q&As
 Aptiva General Hardware/Software Q&As
 Aptiva 3xx/5xx/7xx Series Hardware/Software Q&As
 Aptiva Mxx/Axx Series Hardware Q&As
 Aptiva Mxx/Axx Series Software Q&As
 Aptiva Cxx Series Hardware/Software Q&As

 Q. In the Aptiva Mxx and Axx models, is there a simple way to reset the BIOS
 settings in CMOS?
 A. Yes.  Just press and hold both mouse buttons during bootup.

 Q. Are the processors in the Aptiva Mxx and Axx series upgradeable?
 A. Yes.  The processor socket can take faster P54C Pentiums or other Pentium
 variations (including P54CT, P55C, and P55CT), as well as the Pentium Pro
 microprocessor.

 Q. What part number do I need to upgrade the processor cache in an Aptiva
 system?
 A. See Consumer PC Memory Options - Tip for details.

 Video Q&As
 Q. Is the video memory in the Aptiva Mxx and Axx series upgradeable?
 A. Yes.  The system ships with 1MB of video memory, and can be expanded to
 2MB.  See Consumer PC Memory Options - Tip for details.

 Q. I have an old IBM 8514/8515/8516 monitor that I would like to use with my
 Aptiva, but it only runs in interlaced mode.  Is this possible?
 A. Yes.  Go into the setup screen (F1 at bootup) and make the following
 changes:

 Resolution       Setting
 640x480          60Hz
 800x600          Disabled (not supported by the monitor)
 1024x768         87Hz Interlaced (equivalent to 43.5Hz)
 1280x1024        Disabled (not supported by the monitor)
 1600x1280        Disabled (not supported by the monitor)

 Note:  If you have an 8512 or 8513 monitor, do the same, but disable the
 1024x768 resolution option.

 Then, if using Windows, run the display select feature; or, if using OS/2, run
 the Trident driver install program found in the C:\TRIDENT.OS2 directory.

 CD-ROM Q&As
 Q. My Windows 95-preloaded system arrived without the IDE CD-ROM drive being
 configured under Windows 95.  What do I have to do?
 A. Do the following:

   1. Restart the system, and when the words "Starting Windows 95" appear press
      the F8 key.
   2. Choose option 6 (Command Prompt Only) from the menu.
   3. At the prompt type: EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT and press Enter.
   4. Add the line: LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IBMCD001 to the end of
      the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
   5. Save the file and exit by pressing, ALT, then F, then X, then Y (one at a
      time).
   6. Reboot the system by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del, and the CDROM should be ready
      to go.

 Q. I'm trying to run some CD-ROM programs on my 2168-A44 and some of the
 programs work and others do not.  Why?
 A. The A44 uses a 4-disk CD changer and some CDs work only in a particular
 drive slot.  For example:

     The Product Recovery CD works only in slot 4.
     Pitfall, Cyberia and Dreams of Flight work only in the first drive slot.
     Silent Steel is not a "changer aware" application.  The CD requested by
      the program must go into the same drive as the CD that is being removed.

 Q. I'm trying to play multiple audio CDs on my 2168-A44 and the CD changer
 swaps between the discs without playing any music.  Why?
 A. Autoplay must be disabled.  To do this,

   1. Go to the Windows Control panel and double-click on the System icon.
   2. Choose the Device Manager tab.
   3. Click on the + next to the CD-ROM.
   4. Double-click on one of the CD-ROM Devices.
   5. Select settings and remove the checkmark from Auto Insert Notification.

 Mwave Q&As
 Q. What features does the built-in Mwave 2780 DSP offer?
 A. The 2780 has the following capabilities:

     44.1KHz MPC-2 16-bit audio with real-time compression
     Simultaneous audio play and record
     Digital audio mixing with up to 8 open .WAV files concurrently
     General MIDI-compatible 32-voice wavetable synthesizer
     SoundBlaster software support
     14.4/14.4Kbps fax/modem (28.8Kbps modem with free Mwave 2.0 software
      upgrade, downloadable from IBM PC Company BBS)
     Voice-over-data (VOD) feature (also called SVD, Simultaneous Voice and
      Data) to allow simultaneous voice conversation over same phone line as
      modem transfers (requires a free Mwave 2.0 software upgrade, downloadable
      from the IBM PC Company BBS)
     Full-duplex answering machine with variable message playback and voice
      compression
     Full-featured telephone and speakerphone (optional feature required)
     DSP is software-upgradeable to faster fax/modem speeds and other features

 Q. What sound card driver should I use for the Mwave chip?
 A. The system or adapter should have come with DOS/Windows and/or OS/2
 drivers.  If not, or if they don't work correctly, and you are forced to
 select a sound card from the application setup list, look for a SoundBlaster
 1.5 or SoundBlaster Pro option.  Mwave emulates both cards.

 Q. What fax card driver should I use for the Mwave chip?
 A. If the fax software doesn't offer an Mwave option, select "Generic Class 2"
 or another modem of this type.  (If you are using the preloaded fax software,
 it should already be set up correctly for Mwave.)

 Q. I can't seem to get Procomm Plus to work with the Mwave fax/modem in my
 Aptiva Mxx or Axx system.  What's wrong?
 A. You'll need Procomm Plus 2.1 or later for it to recognize and use the Mwave
 chip properly.

 Q. I can't seem to get the Mwave modem to connect reliably at high speeds to
 other V.34 modems.  Are there any patches for this?
 A. Yes.  Download a file called V34_178.ZIP from many electronic sources.
 This is an update for the Mwave 2.0 software.

 Q. I can't get Reader Rabbit 2 to produce sounds from the Mwave DSP.  What can
 I do?
 A. Start the game with a -sa parameter, either from the command line, or from
 a batch file, as follows:

    RR2 -sa

 Q. When running in OS/2 or Windows mode, I can have the MWave chip running as
 both a sound card and a modem concurrently.  But when I boot from DOS I can
 only do one or the other.  Why?
 A. Don't forget that DOS is a single-tasking operating system.  It isn't
 designed to let multiple programs perform significant functions at the same
 time.  That's just one of the limitations you have to live with when using
 DOS.

 Q. I frequently play DOS games, audio CDs, or digital audio while using the
 Mwave modem for transferring files, answering phones, and so on in the
 background.  Sometimes the sound cuts out temporarily, or the modem operates
 at less than full 28.8Kbps speed.  Why?
 A. Although the Mwave 2780 chip is a 60 MIPs processor, even it can become
 overtaxed occasionally while it is processing multiple complex commands at
 once.  When this happens it will reduce the modem transmission speed, or
 temporarily suspend the audio function in order to process the other tasks.
 If this happens frequently, you might want to set the modem to a top speed of
 19.2Kbps, 16.0Kbps, or even 14.4Kbps, in order to keep from exceeding the
 capacity of the Mwave processor.  Some experimentation should allow you to
 determine the maximum modem speed that can be maintained for your needs
 without interrupting other functions.

 Note:  This limitation should apply only to some DOS games (those that access
 the hardware registers directly).  Other DOS games (that use software
 interfaces), as well as Windows and OS/2 games (which use the operating system
 interfaces) should be able to play music while the modem is running at the
 full 28.8Kbps speed.

 Q. What's call discrimination?
 A. The Mwave modem and software have the ability to distinguish between
 incoming data, fax, and voice calls.  When the Aptiva Communication Center is
 running you can receive faxes and voice messages.  The system will recognize
 them all and handle them accordingly.  (Faxes go into the fax queue, while
 voice calls go to the answering machine function.)  It will also allow for
 hands free (speaker phone) operation.

 Q. If I answer the telephone by picking up the handset, will I disrupt the
 computer's ability to discriminate between call types?
 A. No, answering the phone will not prevent Mwave's Discriminator from trying
 to detect if the event is a voice or FAX call.  However, it is recommended
 that you close the Discriminator before answering calls with the telephone
 attached to the computer.

 Q. How do I prevent the speaker phone from terminating a telephone call when
 my computer is set to automatically suspend after a period of time with no
 keyboard activity?
 A. To avoid having your telephone calls terminated when your computer uses the
 Suspend/Resume Power Management feature, double-click on the Power icon in the
 Setup group to choose a setup that does not include activation of the suspend
 mode when you don't use the mouse or keyboard.

 Q. I can't receive faxes on my Mxx/Axx system. Why?
 A. There could be any one of several causes.  First:

     Check to see if you are using the splitter for proper connection.

 If that's not the problem, make sure that the discriminator is set for fax:

   1. Click on the Windows 95 Start button, scroll up to Find, files and type:
      DISCAPP.EXE.  When the file has been found, double-click to open it.
   2. Click on Options then Settings, add the area code, and change the picture
      to a fax machine (by default it's a modem).
   3. Put a checkmark in the box that says Enable Initial Greeting.
   4. Click on Ok, and close the discriminator.

 Finally,

     Check the length of your outgoing message, it needs to be at least 25
      seconds long in order for the discriminator to determine the type of
      incoming call.

 Q. On my Mxx/Axx system is there a way to test my modem to see if it works
 properly?
 A. Yes.  From a DOS prompt type: echo at13x3d123456789>com1.  This should
 force the modem to pick up the phone, ignore dial-tone discrimination, and
 dial the numbers 1 through 9.  The command echo at13xa>com1 can be used to
 verify the modem's ability to answer incoming calls.  The test sound should be
 audible through the speakers.

 Q. I have Windows 95 on my Mxx/Axx system and I can't print faxes from the
 Communication Center.  What can I do?
 A. Download PTSFAX.EXE from the IBM PC Company BBS, or other electronic
 sources.

 Q. I used the command: DELTREE PHOENIX to get rid of all the messages in my
 mail box (by deleting the subdirectories), then I unzipped the PHOENIX
 directory to recreate the directories; but now I'm having even more problems
 than before.  Why?
 A. The reason this happens is that some of the directories aren't restored
 when the root directory is unzipped.  To reload the directories without having
 to manually create them in DOS:

   1. Click on the Windows 95 Start button.
   2. Scroll up to Run.
   3. Type: C:\PHOENIX\SETUP and press the Enter key.
   4. Click on Continue on the Windows 95 Communication Center Setup screen.
   5. Select OK on the default directory box
   6. Click on No to all on the Overwrite files warning box.
   7. Press Cancel when it asks for the first diskette.
 This will restore all of the empty directories much faster than writing them
 out in DOS.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.2.5. Aptiva Mxx/Axx Series Software Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This section deals with software information about Aptiva (Model Mxx and Axx)
systems.  Model 3xx/5xx/7xx and Cxx Aptivas are covered in the following
sections:

 Q&A Sections
 Aptiva Overview Q&As
 Aptiva General Hardware/Software Q&As
 Aptiva 3xx/5xx/7xx Series Hardware/Software Q&As
 Aptiva Mxx/Axx Series Hardware Q&As
 Aptiva Mxx/Axx Series Software Q&As
 Aptiva Cxx Series Hardware/Software Q&As

  Preloaded/Bundled Software Q&As

 General Q&As
 Q. My Mxx system came preloaded with IBM DOS 7.0, Windows 3.11, and OS/2 Warp,
 OR My Mxx/Axx system came preloaded with MS Windows 95.  Is there any way to
 use an earlier version of DOS and/or Windows if I prefer?
 A. Yes, however you may lose the preloaded setup and some functionality.
 You're on your own if you wipe out the preloaded software and install some
 other operating system.  But if you're so inclined, the hardware will support
 IBM DOS 6.3 or MS DOS 6.22, with Windows 3.1 or 3.11 (and, of course, IBM DOS
 7.0, OS/2 Warp, and Windows 95--some of which would have come preloaded on
 your system, depending on the model you bought).

 Q. I'm trying to install Windows 95 on my OS/2-preloaded Aptiva M30, M40, M50,
 or M70 and I seem to be stuck in a loop.  Can you help?
 A. If you have an M30/M40/M50/M70 which has been updated via the Service CD,
 and are trying to install Windows 95 from our upgrade kit, or the complete
 coupon installation package from us (including the diskette, Aptiva Software
 CD, etc.) you will encounter a problem when booting off of the install
 diskette.  Instead of the standard "Windows 95 Install Menu" you will see the
 following message:

 "Before you can install Windows 95, the computer needs to restart and perform
 its software configuration.  Remove the diskette from drive A: and press Enter
 to restart your computer."

 But, removing the diskette and restarting just takes you back to Windows or
 Warp.  Rebooting off of the install diskette only brings back the same
 message, producing an endless loop.  Here is the cause of the problem, and the
 resolution:

 If you run the Service CD on an OS/2 Warp for Windows system, then it can no
 longer be properly upgraded using the Windows 95 Installation Kit.  It will
 encounter the above problems when booting off the Windows 95 Install diskette.
 The only answer at this point is to return the machine back to the original
 Warp/Windows condition ( refer to the question in Aptiva General
 Hardware/Software Q&As for instructions on using the Recovery CD) and then
 Upgrade to Windows 95.  There is no other way to "undo" the effects of
 installing the Service CD.  Remember, after using the Recovery CD, to
 reinstall the MPEG software on the M30, M40 and M50 (it is preinstalled on the
 M70) before running the Windows 95 upgrade.  But be sure that you do not run
 the Service CD prior to installing the Windows 95 upgrade.

 Q. Is there any reason not to install the latest OS/2 FixPak on my Aptiva?
 A. Yes.  Aptiva Mxx-series users with Warp-preloaded systems should not
 install the FixPak, as the version of Warp preloaded was a customized one.
 Installing the FixPak would render some of the custom features inoperable.  If
 you have installed a shrinkwrapped copy of Warp over the Warp preload, or on a
 Windows system, installing FixPak 17 will not be a problem (because by
 installing shrinkwrapped OS/2 you have effectively deleted the customized
 features).

 Q. I was installing the MPEG software and it seemed like the Silent Steel Disk
 1 or the CD-ROM were defective.  I was prompted to put in disk 1.  After doing
 so, the system beeped and prompted me to insert the same disk again.  When I
 pressed Enter, the same thing happened again, and I was forced to reboot.
 What's wrong?
 A. Most likely you pressed Enter before the light stopped blinking.  The
 system will not see the CD after this happens.  Since there is no way to abort
 or restart the install, you were forced to reboot.  Try rebooting the system
 and reinstalling the MPEG software again.  Ensure that you wait for the light
 to stop blinking before pressing Enter.

 Q. The game Cyberia makes a bad popping noise during the introduction.  Is
 there anything I can do to correct this?
 A. Yes.  In an effort to improve performance of the game in a DOS session
 under OS/2, the game makers enhanced the CYB.EXE program, but in doing so
 caused the popping noise.  As it happens, the new "trapdoor" feature of Warp,
 introduced in the Aptiva Mxx line eliminates the need for this "enhanced"
 version of the file.  If you copy the original CYB.EXE file from the root
 directory of the CD-ROM (rather than the one in the \OS2 dir) into your game
 directory the noise problem will go away.

 Q. When I run IBM Works (part of the OS/2 Warp BonusPak) on my Aptiva Mxx
 system I get intermittent Trap 000E errors.  What's wrong?
 A. You need the updated video drivers for the Trident 9680GXi video
 controller.  Download TX12-28.EXE (a self-extracting Zipped file) from the IBM
 PC Company BBS, or other electronic source, to an empty directory.  Unzip the
 file by running it, then read and follow the installation instructions in
 TX12-28.DOC.

 Q. What do I have to do to play audio CDs on an OS/2-preloaded Aptiva Mxx
 system?
 A. Go into the Mwave OS/2 folder (inside the OS/2 System folder) and start the
 Auxiliary Audio applet.  It must be kept running (minimized, if desired) at
 all times if you want to listen to audio CDs.

 Q. I have an Aptiva Product Recovery CD, and I'm trying to see if it is the
 correct one for my 2168-A45.  Is there an easy way to tell?
 A.Yes.  To be sure that you have the correct Product Recovery CD for your
 2168-A45 system (the one with the four-CD changer), look at the part number
 printed on the CD itself. It should be 07H0929.  If not, then you have the
 wrong CD.

 Launch Pad Q&As
 Q. When I try to copy files from the Launch Pad on my Aptiva Mxx system I
 sometimes get intermittent "file not found," "file corrupted," or "can't open
 file" errors.  But copying the same files from a DOS prompt works fine.
 What's wrong?
 A. There is a replacement for the KIDSTSR.COM file that will fix this.
 Download it from the IBM PC Company BBS, or other electronic source, to the
 C:\LAUNCHPD directory.  Try the copy operation again.  If it still fails,
 reboot and try again.

 Q. The Launch Pad online help refers to some information in a manual that
 didn't come with my Aptiva Mxx system.  Where can I find that information?
 A. Chapter 5, p. 31, and the Resetting Your Password text can be found in the
 Aptiva box, on an insert called Launch Pad.  For the Chapter 7 text
 (Overriding Automatic Startup), see below:

    Chapter 7

 Communications Center Q&As
 Q. What is the Communications Center for?
 A. The Communication Center is an integrated suite of telecommunications
 applications that appears graphically on the computer screen as a
 multi-function telephone.  Using a mouse to point and click at buttons on the
 computer screen, users can redial, mute, pause, hold and speed dial.  The PC
 acts as a personal answering machine for each member of the office or family,
 with individual password security.  With the Communication Center, users can
 screen incoming calls, record a telephone conversation, or invite the whole
 family to join-in via speakerphone.  It even allows you to hook up your
 telephone handset for private conversations.  These features are made even
 more practical by IBM's exclusive Wake Up On Ring technology which enables the
 computer to detect an incoming call even if the PC is turned off, turn itself
 on to take a message or receive a fax, then shut itself back off.  Just like
 an answering machine, the Aptiva PC's power light will blink to indicate that
 faxes or phone messages have been received.  And that's just for the incoming
 calls.  Using the built-in Mwave data/fax modem feature you can also surf the
 Internet, explore online services like America On-Line, or browse your local
 BBSes at a blistering 28.8Kbps, or send out faxes at 14.4Kbps (the current top
 speed of fax communications protocols).

 Q. When I import a .WAV file into the Communications Center as a greeting and
 then play the greeting, I get either a #102 or a #814 error message when I
 press Done.  What's wrong?
 A. The problem is that the .WAV file is still open from the import step when
 you go to play it.  This is what causes the problem.  If you press Done first,
 and then press Play this error won't occur.  If you forget, and get this error
 again, shut down the system and reboot before attempting to record any other
 .WAV files, or you will have other problems.

 Q. When I retrieve messages from the Communications Center by dialing in, then
 delete them I find that if I call back the line is busy for the rest of the
 day (until I get home to reset it).  What's the problem?
 A. If you hang up immediately, without pressing ## on the phone first to
 ensure that the serial port is freed up, the line may stay busy.  So be sure
 to always press the # key twice before hanging up.

 VoiceType Control/VoiceType Dictation Q&As
 Q. I see that all models of the Aptiva Mxx series sold in the U.S. come with
 Voice Navigation, and some also include Voice Dictation.  What are they and
 why both?
 A. IBM VoiceType Control for Windows (VTC), provides "voice navigation"
 support.  This feature allows you to give a spoken command instead of using
 the mouse or keyboard as a way to control various software applications.
 Voice input is through a stand-alone microphone (included).  Note that VTC
 will only support voice control of Windows-based applications (not OS/2), and
 does not work in a Win-OS2 session.

 IBM VoiceType Dictation (VTD), is an OS/2 application that allows dictation of
 text into the system clipboard area (for later use in a word processor or
 other application).  VTD also supports voice navigation, although via a
 different interface than VTC.  VTD supports a vocabulary of over 20,000 words,
 and has been shown to have a very high (95%+) word recognition accuracy rate.
 A training session lasting about two hours is required for each new user
 (reading a story into the system).  Although VTD is an OS/2 application the
 navigation portion is designed to work both in Warp and on Windows
 applications running in Win-OS/2 sessions.  The minimum requirement for VTD to
 operate properly is the Mwave DSP chip, 16MB of RAM, and a Pentium 100MHz
 processor, so it is only available on some Aptiva models.

 Q. I see two different VoiceType Manager icons, one in the VoiceType Control
 window, and one in the Aptiva Productivity window.  Does it make a difference
 which one I use?
 A. Yes.  Use the one in the Aptiva Productivity window.  The one in the VTC
 window won't prompt you to setup the microphone settings in AudioStation.

 Q. VoiceType Control isn't working.  What's wrong?
 A. Before starting VTC, open AudioStation and verify that the microphone
 button is turned On on both the Play and Record sides.  Also, make sure that
 the microphone is securely plugged into the system (and turned on, if your
 mike has a power switch).

 Q. VoiceType Control isn't working correctly.  What can I do?
 A. If you have been using sound effects, you may have left them turned on.
 This can severely affect the mike input to the voice navigator.  To disable
 the sound effects, click on the Sound Effects button in the AudioStation, on
 the Record side, with Mic=on; then click on the Mike Reset button or the All
 Off reset button.  This will return all of the sound effects to their preset
 states.  Also, if you are using your own microphone you may need to adjust the
 microphone gain input.  To do this you must change values in the
 \WINDOWS\MWAVE.INI file.  Go to the the PCMWAVE section in that file and make
 the following changes, from:

    RMICGAIN = 420  (max is 600, min is 180, try 300/360/480...)
    AMICGAIN = 360  (max is 600, min is 180, try 300/360/480...)

 Then try recording and playing back your voice.  If it works, and doesn't have
 any noticeable distortion, then it should be ready for VTC.

 Q. I'm getting errors from VoiceType Control telling me to speak more softly
 or reduce the microphone input.  What are the guidelines for how to speak?
 A. Speak normally.  The microphone is sensitive enough that you don't have to
 speak loudly.  Nor do you have to speak directly into the mike; two feet away
 is a good distance, and it'll even pick up your voice if your head is turned
 at an angle from the mike when you speak.  If you do need to adjust the
 microphone input to increase or decrease the volume, use the AudioStation
 Master control slider (on the Record side, not the Play side).

 Q. Using VoiceType Control I'm getting feedback from the mike.  What should I
 do?
 A. Reduce the speaker volume.

 Q. What's the difference between Voicetype Dictation (VTD) Aptiva Edition and
 the regular Voicetype Dictation for OS/2 (shrinkwrapped)?
 A. The VoiceType Dictation preloaded on Aptiva is a newer level of code than
 the shrinkwrapped VoiceType Dictation 1.1 product.  Some of the differences
 (in no particular order) are:

   1. Support for Mwave chip (VTD 1.1 requires the IBM VTD Adapter)
   2. Multiple session support, meaning you can run multiple speech aware
      applications at the same time
   3. Addition of a speaker independent navigation model
   4. Integration of speech macros into the Workplace shell program notebooks
   5. Addition of quick dictation window (simpler to use than the regular
      dictation window)
   6. Sleep mode
   7. Spell mode
   8. Jump To (go directly to any WPS object view by voice)
   9. Dictation window enhancements (tool bar, open, print)
  10. Various bug fixes, user interface enhancements

 Q. Is there any way to get the Voicetype Dictation (VTD) Aptiva Edition
 software to use in another kind of PC, instead of the regular Voicetype
 Dictation for OS/2, which requires a VoiceType Dictation Adapter?
 A. No; VoiceType Dictation, Aptiva Edition, is not available separately at
 this time.

 Q. I accidentally erased my VoiceType Dictation icon.  Is there an easier way
 to get it back than reinstalling from scratch?
 A. Yes.  Do the following:

   1. Go to the \SPCH_RW\USERS\NNN directory.
   2. Look for a file with the extension *.eid.
   3. Open the file with an editor, find the line icon=done and erase this
      line; then save the file.
   4. Go to Re-enroll, click on NNN and it will ask if you want to create the
      icon.  Answer "Yes," and you're done.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.2.6. Aptiva Cxx Series Hardware/Software Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This section deals with information about Aptiva (Model Cxx) systems.  Model
3xx/5xx/7xx and Mxx/Axx Aptivas are covered in the following sections:

 Q&A Sections
 Aptiva Overview Q&As
 Aptiva General Hardware/Software Q&As
 Aptiva 3xx/5xx/7xx Series Hardware/Software Q&As
 Aptiva Mxx/Axx Series Hardware Q&As
 Aptiva Mxx/Axx Series Software Q&As
 Aptiva Cxx Series Hardware/Software Q&As

 Overview Q&As
 Q. What are the main differences between the Aptiva Axx/Mxx series and the Cxx
 series systems?
 A. The Cxx systems have a Universal Serial Bus, Rapid Resume-enabled power
 switch, a larger BIOS ROM size of 256KB, and BIOS support for No Video Refresh
 Setup, Interrupt 13H Extensions, Bootable CD-ROM, Logical Block Addressing for
 Hard Disks, and better Resource Allocation.

 Preloaded/Bundled Software Q&As
 Q. I'm trying to use the PKUNZIP command to retrieve a Microsoft application
 that came with the system, but it isn't working.  Why?
 A. The preloaded or bundled Microsoft programs can't be uninstalled or
 reinstalled without doing a full recovery of the system.  This is due to legal
 contracts with Microsoft.

 Q. I have a Cxx system and there is no A:\ option in the Windows 95 Send to
 menu.  Is there a solution?
 A. Yes.

   1. Double click on the My Computer Icon.
   2. Double click on the C: Icon.
   3. Scroll to the Windows folder and double click on it.
   4. Scroll to the Send to folder and double click on it.
   5. Click the right mouse button inside the "C:\WINDOWS\SENDTO" directory
   6. Select "New"
   7. Select "Shortcut"
   8. Type: A:\ and press Enter
   9. Press Enter again, and the new "Send to A:\" icon will be created.

 Q. I have an Aptiva Cxx system and I want to return my system to the original
 "out-of-box" condition.  Is there a way of doing this?
 A. Yes, but note that everything on your hard drive will be lost!  Your system
 will have the original preloaded software only!  So be sure to back up
 anything else you want to keep before proceeding.

   1. Put in the Product Recovery CD and restart your computer.
   2. Your system will boot to a Recovery message.
   3. At the end of the message you will be prompted to press Enter to
      continue.  Do so.
   4. You will be asked if you wish to update the software.
   5. Answer Yes.
   6. You will be asked if you accept the software terms and conditions.
   7. Again answer Yes.
   8. You will see a message that the hard disk will be formatted.
   9. You will then be asked one last time I you wish to continue.
  10. Answer Yes.

 It will take about 30 minutes for the reload to complete.  Then you will need
 to go through the Windows setup.  This proceedure can be faxed to you from our
 Faxback service at 800-426-3395.

 Note:  Do not repartition the hard drive (i.e., FDISK).  If the hard drive is
 repartitioned you may get a "bad partition table" error and will not be able
 to continue with the reload.

 Q. Could you explain how the Recovery CD works on a Cxx system.  Do I need a
 boot disk?
 A. There are two different CD-ROMs to consider: The Product Recovery CD and
 the Diagnostics and Utility CD.  Both are bootable, and unlike most PCs the
 Aptiva Cxx systems are designed to boot from the CD-ROM drive, if it contains
 a bootable CD.  The results of booting from the CD-ROM drive can cause some
 confusion.  Both CDs actually boot from "images" of bootable diskettes
 contained on the CDs: RECOVERY.IMG (on the Recovery CD) and APTUTILS.IMG
 (Diagnostics/Utilities CD).  After booting from one of these CDs the drive
 letters change, as follows:

      A: is the diskette Image on the CD
      B: is the first diskette drive (the physical A: drive)
      C: remains your hard disk drive
      G: remains your CD-ROM drive

 Note that your CD-ROM drive now uses both the A: and G; drive letters.

 If you have a second diskette drive (normally B:), after booting to the CD-ROM
 that drive will be "invisible" to DOS.  Until you reboot from your hard drive
 or diskette drive normally, A: (the diskette image on the CD-ROM) will act
 like a diskette with write-protect enabled.

 Q. I deleted part of my original software off my Aptiva Cxx system and now I
 want to get some of it back.  Is there a way of reloading part of my original
 software without going back to the original "out-of-box" condition?
 A. Yes.  The preloaded software is stored on the Product Recovery CD and can
 be "unzipped" or extracted.  The procedure is as follows and is
 case-sensitive, so be sure to type the commands below exactly.

   1. Go to the DOS prompt.
   2. Put in the Product Recovery CD (multimedia CD).
   3. Change to the CD-ROM drive. (G:).
   4. Change to the \RECOVERY\US directory (CD\RECOVERY\US).

 To extract a single file type: pkunzip -d -o -smagic *.zip c:\(filename)

 To extract an entire directory type: pkunzip -d -o -smagic *.zip
 c:\(directory)\*.*

 Note:  This procedure will not work for the Windows Program Files directories.
 The reason is that these directories contain files which use long file names
 and the PKUNZIP can't work with long file names.  Currently, there is no way
 to restore the Microsoft Works program files.

 To restore one of the original Windows 95 files, use the following procedure:

   1. From the Start menu, choose Programs
   2. Choose MS-DOS prompt
   3. Put the Windows 95 Companion CD into the CD-ROM drive
   4. Type in the drive letter for your CD-ROM and press enter
   5. Type CD WIN95 and press enter
   6. Type EXTRACT /Y /A WIN95_02.CAB filename /L dir and press enter

 Q. I just installed Caesar II on my Cxx system and the sound doesn't work.
 Why, and how do I fix it?
 A. When installing Caesar II via the Aptiva Installer or by running the Setup
 program from the Caesar II CD the sound configuration utility is not
 automatically started after the install is completed.  To configure sound for
 Caesar II you must manually run the Caesar II sound configuration utility.
 After installing Caesar II an icon is added to the Sierra Program Folder
 called Caesar II Set Sound, for running the sound configuration utility.  This
 program is set to run in DOS mode.  You must match their Caesar II sound
 settings to that of Mwave's sound settings.  Information about setting Mwave's
 DOS mode sound configuration is located in the How Do I section of the Aptiva
 Helper.  Information about DOS games' sound configuration utilities is located
 there as well.

 Q. I have an Aptiva Cxx system and I'm having trouble connecting with the
 Internet Phone software at 28.8 Kbps using my Mwave modem.  Can you help?
 A. A problem exists when using the Internet Phone with an Mwave modem
 connected at 28.8 Kbps with error correction turned on (which is the default).

 If you want to use the phone with a 28.8 Kbps connection, you must disable
 error control by doing the following:

   1. Select Dial-up Networking from My computer.
   2. Then Press the Cancel button.
   3. Right-click on the Internet Connection icon and select Properties from
      the popup menu.
   4. Click on the Configure button.
   5. Select the Connection tab.
   6. Press the Advanced... button.
   7. Uncheck the Error correction box.
   8. Click on Ok.

 Note:  If you are not going to use the Internet Phone software, it is
 recommended that you leave error checking enabled.

 Q. I have a Cxx system and I'm having trouble configuring the On/Off power
 switch for Rapid Resume.  Can you help?
 A. To configure the On/Off button use the following procedure:

   1. Start or restart your computer.  When the screen appears that says Press
      F1 to go to the Setup Utility, press F1.
   2. At the Setup Utility Main Menu, select Rapid Resume, then press Enter.
   3. At the Rapid Resume menu, select Rapid Resume Advanced Options, then
      press Enter.
   4. Scroll down to the On/Off Button Mode option, then use the right or left
      arrow key to change the selection to Rapid Resume.
   5. Press the Esc key until the Exit Setup Utility screen appears, then press
      Enter.  Your settings are now saved.

 Q. I recorded a wave (.WAV) file then saved the play list.  Now when I open
 the Audio Station I get a "corrupted file" message.  What did I do wrong, and
 how do I fix it?
 A. When a wave file is recorded, a song called "Untitled" appears in the
 playlist.  If the playlist is then saved a temp file appears in the playlist.
 Later, when the component is closed and reopened, the unsaved song tries to
 load and can't be found, thus the "corrupted file" messages.  To fix this,
 delete the Untitled song from the playlist and then resave the playlist.
 Remember, the Untitled song will now show up as a temp file.

 Hardware Q&As
 Q. All of the CXX systems include Windows 95 preloaded, and many of the models
 have 2GB+ hard drives, but Windows 95 has a limit of 2GB per partition.  This
 means that any drives larger than 2GB will have to be partitioned, otherwise
 part of the drive will be unusable by Windows 95.  Are the drives partitioned,
 and if so, how?
 A. All drives from 1.6GB and up are partitioned as follows:

 Physical Drive Size      Logical Partition Sizes
 1.6GB                    800MB, 800MB
 2.0GB                    1GB, 1GB
 2.5GB                    1GB, 750MB, 750MB
 3.2GB                    1GB, 1GB, 600MB, 600MB

 Q. What if I don't want my drives partitioned that way?
 A. You have several options.  All of the preloaded software is installed in
 the first (C:) partition, so you can the DOS FDISK command to reallocate the
 other partitions any way you like, without hurting the primary partition.  On
 the other hand, if you want to change the size of the primary partition you
 have two choices.  One involves a fair amount of work on your part, but costs
 nothing.  The other costs some money, but is faster and involves less work on
 your part.

   1. Backup any data files you want to save, use FDISK to delete all
      partitions and rebuild them, restore the preload from the Recovery CD,
      then restore your backed up data files; or,
   2. Buy a copy of PartitionMagic (PowerQuest, 800-379-2566 and 801-226-8977),
      and use it to change the sizes and quantities of partitions, without
      affecting the existing data and program files (it's still advisable to
      backup any data files first, just in case...).

 Q. I recently purchased a Aptiva 2176-C66 system that included the Home
 Director (remote control) Starter Kit.  Where do I get support for the
 components in this kit?
 A. This model is only sold through Radio Shack stores, so Radio Shack will be
 doing all service and support for the Home Director hardware and software
 components of this model.  The support phone number for Radio Shack is
 800-843-7422, between the hours of 10:00am and 8:00pm Monday through Friday,
 and 10:00am to 6:00pm Saturday.

 Note:  IBM will still be supporting the system unit and all other components
 (except Home Director) as provided by the terms and conditions of your
 warranty.

 Miscellaneous Cxx Q&As
 Q. I have installed a non-bundled DOS program on my Cxx system and it didn't
 create a icon, is this normal?
 A. Yes.  The DOS install program will not add any icons or groups to the start
 menu.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.3. PS/1 Systems Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Q. Where can I go for technical support?
A. The documentation that came with your system includes the information on
where to go for voice and electronic support during the free support period.
Among electronic support sites are Prodigy (JUMP: CLUB) and CompuServe (GO
IBMPS1, or GO APTIVA).

Q. Are there any special instructions that I need to follow to load IBM DOS
V5.0 on the PS/1 models 2011 and 2121?
A. Yes.  These instructions must be followed because of the DOS built into ROM
that the PS/1 uses.  You can obtain the information needed from IBM's Automated
Fax system by calling 1-800-IBM-3395.  The fax service will allow you to
request a document which will be sent to your fax machine.  The document number
to request for the DOS 5.0 upgrade procedures for the IBM PS/1 is 39001.  If
you do not have a list of the available downloadable documents, you can request
to have the catalog sent to your fax number.  If you do not choose to use the
fax option, you can call 1-800-IBM-PROD and request PS/1 support.  They will be
happy to fax the available information to you.

Q. How can I customize my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to increase the
files, install EMM386 drivers, etc., and have the system recognize the changes?
A. In order to customize your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files you can edit
them using any text editor (example: DOS's EDLIN).  You must then customize
your PS/1 so that it will recognize these changes.  To customize your system,
select IBM DOS from the "four quadrant" screen.  Next click on Customize how
system starts.  From the menu, select the following:

   1. Select where your computer looks for the operating system; choose Try
      diskette first, then hard disk.
   2. Read AUTOEXEC.BAT ... From disk
   3. Read CONFIG.SYS ..... From disk
   4. Disk to read from ... C:

 This tells the computer to read the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT from C:,
 rather than the built in ROM.

 Q. Is the PS/1 NetWare certified?
 A. The 2011 model are not supported as being networkable.  The 2121 models C42
 and the B82 have been tested and approved Netware compatible as a workstation
 (not as a file server) with the following NetWare products:

   1. NetWare Lite, v1.0
   2. NetWare, v2.2
   3. NetWare, v3.11
   4. Novell Print Server, v1.21
   5. NetWare SNA Token-Ring, v1.3
   6. NetWare 3270 LAN Workstation, v2.0
   7. NetWare Link/x.25, v1.0

 All newer models (2123, 2133, 2155, 2168, etc) are fully NetWare certified.

 Q. Can I add the 3-slot Adapter Card Unit to the PS/1 2121 model B82?
 A. No.  It already includes two slots inside the system unit, and has no way
 to connect the external Adapter Card Unit.

 Q. My 2133/2155 system is losing the date and time.  What's the part number of
 a replacement lithium realtime clock battery?
 A. The battery (CR2032) FRU (service) part number is 93F0063.

 Q. How do I get DOS 5.0x to recognize my CD-ROM drive?
 A. Add the following statement to AUTOEXEC.BAT:

  MSCDEX

 then add the following statement to CONFIG.SYS:

  DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE (or whatever is the correct path for DOS 5.0x)

 then, the first time you reboot your system after adding these statements,
 type the following at the C: prompt:
  SETVER MSCDEX.EXE 4.0

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high)
     Maximum system board Video RAM supported is 1MB.
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum single IDE disk drive supported is 1GB (GigaByte).
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with Trackpoint
      II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable. A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts. Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Limitations

 Return to the Aptiva 550 Model 2144-P30 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high)
     Maximum system board Video RAM supported is 1MB.
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with Trackpoint
      II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable. A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts. Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

This document describes the technical specifications and standard features of
the IBM Aptiva 710 Model 2144-82P, the Aptiva 712 Model 2144-83P, and the
Aptiva 730 Model 86P. These models are identical, except for the hard drive
size, the sound card and speakers, and the presence or absence of voice
recognition software, therefore they will all be covered by this one document.
Differences will be identified by model numbers in parentheses.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high)
     Maximum system board Video RAM supported is 1MB.
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum single IDE disk drive supported is 1GB (GigaByte).
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with Trackpoint
      II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable. A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts. Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Return to the Aptiva 720 Model 2144-S15 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high)
     Maximum system board Video RAM supported is 1MB.
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with Trackpoint
      II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable. A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts. Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.
     Cannot use 2 mouse button reset on this system.

 Return to the Aptiva Models 2144-M30/M31/M35 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Limitations

 Return to the Aptiva Model 2144-A10 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high)
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Limitations

 Return to the Aptiva Model 2144-M63 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Return to the Aptiva Models 2168-M50/M51/M52 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Return to the Aptiva Models 2168-M53/M54/M55/M56/M57/M58 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Return to the Aptiva Models 2168-M60/M61/M62 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Return to the Aptiva Models 2168-M70/M71/M72 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Limitations

 Return to the Aptiva Model 2168-M91 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Limitations

 Return to the Aptiva Model 2168-A15 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 he system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 The system has the following limitations:

     72-pin (70ns) Industry Standard Memory SIMMs (1" high).
     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Limitations

 Return to the Aptiva model 2134-C21 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware-compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Return to the Aptiva model 2176-C23 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware-compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Return to the Aptiva models 2176-C31 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Return to the Aptiva models 2176-C33 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Return to the Aptiva model 2176-C55 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 Limitations

 Return to the Aptiva models 2176-C65/C66/C67 header.

 The system has the following limitations:

     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

 The system has the following limitations:

     Maximum of four IDE disk drives supported.
     Maximum of two diskette drives supported.
     Standard audio is Sound Blaster hardware compatible.
     A mouse cannot be used with the optional IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with
      Trackpoint II (84-key).
     If a power failure occurs during a flash update, the system board may be
      unusable.  A service call would be required to replace the system board.
     The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be
      used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
     If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
      should be limited to 8.5 Watts.  Populating all I/O card slots with
      options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
      recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

(Chapter 7) Overriding Automatic Startup

To prevent Launch Pad from loading automatically every time you start your
computer, uncheck the Always Start Up In Launch Pad checkbox in the Security
Options dialog.

To enable automatic startup, the Launch Pad Installer also adds a "win" line to
the end of your autoexec.bat file. If you've turned off Launch Pad's automatic
startup feature and prefer your computer not to boot into Windows, you may
remove or comment out this line. However, if you want to re-enable the
automatic startup feature, you will also need to restore this "win" line at the
end of your autoexec.bat file.

In very rare situations, a conflict with other software may prevent you from
running your computer with Launch Pad installed until you resolve the conflict.
If you find yourself in this situation, you can prevent Launch Pad from loading
when your computer starts up by doing the following:

   1. Insert a bootable diskette into your floppy drive (see Chapter 2, "Making
      a Bootable Floppy Disk," for more information).
   2. Restart your computer.
   3. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and comment out the
      "c:\launchpd\kidstsr.com" and "win" lines at the end.  To comment out a
      line, insert "REM" and a space at the beginning of the line.
   4. Edit your \WINDOWS\WIN.INI file, and comment out the reference to
      "c:\launchpd\lplocker" in the "load=" line.  To comment out a line,
      insert a semicolon (";") at the beginning of the line.
   5. Restart your computer again.

 Note:  If you are running DOS 6.0 or higher, instead of steps 1 and 2, you can
 restart your computer and press the F5 key when "Starting MS-DOS" is
 displayed. This will bypass your config.sys and autoexec.bat files.

 The computer should startup fine from the hard drive now, but if it doesn't,
 use the diskette again. If you suspect another system component of causing
 problems with Launch Pad, try disabling it.  Then try re-enabling Launch Pad
 by restoring the lines you commented out in steps 3 and 4 above.  If you
 cannot resolve a conflict, please contact Berkeley Systems' PC Technical
 Support.

(8z) IBM Aptiva Systems support the VESA Advanced Power Management (APM)
Specification, Version 1.1.  APM consists of several layers of microcode (BIOS)
and software that provide an environment in which applications, operating
systems, device drivers, and BIOS work together to progressively reduce power
consumption in stages.  VESA-standard power-saving modes include (in order of
power reduction): Standby, Suspend, Idle, and Off.  Power-saving techniques
include slowing the processor speed after a certain amount of time, turning off
the hard drive, turning off the processor and other electronic components, and
so on. Similar techniques are used routinely in laptop computers.  Suspend mode
uses less power than Standby, but takes longer to return to normal operation.
Idle mode is more thrifty still, but even slower to return than Suspend.  Off
mode saves the most power, but can take as long as 30 seconds to return to
normal.

All Aptiva systems are designed to meet the EPA Energy Star requirements for
using less then 30 watts of power in Idle mode.  For power management to work
properly, both the system BIOS and the operating system must be enabled for APM
operation.

Note:  If any devices (such as user-added hard drives, video adapters, or
monitors) are not APM-enabled putting these devices in a reduced-power mode may
cause unpredictable results.  If this happens, either disable power management
for these devices, or contact the device vendor for more information.

however.

(FlexMemory) - This system uses the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) industry
standard, which allows 2MB of the motherboard RAM to be used by the video
adapter, instead of requiring separate video memory.  This memory is reserved
for video adapter use and cannot be accessed by software, nor can the amount of
memory reserved for video use be increased or decreased from 2MB.  Therefore
