PLUG AND PLAY | |||
============= | |||
Digital HiNote Ultra 2000 | |||
------------------------- | |||
Due to problems with power management on this | |||
computer, Windows does not have an option to | |||
switch to Standby using the Start/Shutdown menu. | |||
Contact Digital for an updated BIOS with improved | |||
power management support. | |||
Problems with Power Control Panel Settings | |||
------------------------------------------ | |||
Some computers do not let Windows fully control | |||
power management. If you find that changing the | |||
Standby, Monitor, or Hard Drive timeout values | |||
in the Power Control have no effect, your computer's | |||
own power management settings are overriding the | |||
Windows settings. Open your computers power | |||
management Setup program and disable any Standby, | |||
Suspend, Monitor, or Hard Drive timeout values. | |||
After you do this, you should be able to control | |||
these settings from the Windows Power Management | |||
control panel. | |||
Compaq Presario 4834 and Non-Compaq Monitors | |||
-------------------------------------------- | |||
If your Presario 4834 is not connected to a Compaq | |||
monitor with USB ports, be sure that your BIOS is | |||
also configured to not use the Compaq monitor with | |||
USB ports. If you have the BIOS set to use the Compaq | |||
monitor, but do not have a Compaq monitor connected, | |||
then your computer will turn off when you choose the | |||
Standby command. Contact Compaq for an updated BIOS | |||
that fixes this problem. | |||
PCI systems | |||
----------- | |||
If the video device is configured by the BIOS to | |||
use an IRQ and you use the secondary PCI IDE controller | |||
in your computer, your video will work only in VGA mode. | |||
To load the accelerated Windows 98 driver for your video, | |||
disable the secondary PCI IDE controller in the BIOS | |||
if it is not controlling an IDE device. Additionally, you | |||
may have to disable it in Device Manager by double-clicking | |||
System in Control Panel. An alternative (if supported by | |||
the BIOS) is to disable the IRQ of the video device. | |||
IBM ThinkPad Models 750 (all 750 series except 750ce) | |||
----------------------------------------------------- | |||
A new BIOS that solves several problems with power | |||
management is available from the IBM bulletin board. | |||
Download the latest System Program Service Diskette | |||
for the ThinkPad 750 from the bulletin board service | |||
(BBS). See your hardware documentation for information | |||
about accessing the IBM bulletin board. | |||
IBM ThinkPad Models 755cd, cx, ce, cse, cdv (but not 755c) | |||
---------------------------------------------------------- | |||
Microsoft and IBM are in the process of solving the following | |||
known problems: | |||
1. Mwave is lost if you have more than 8 MB of memory. | |||
- IBM has updated drivers available. | |||
If you install Windows 98 Second Edition in a | |||
different folder, Mwave will not work unless you | |||
reinstall the Mwave drivers using IBM Mwave Setup | |||
program disks. This is by design. The Windows 3.1 | |||
drivers are required to run the Mwave chip. | |||
2. If you install Windows 98 Second Edition in the same | |||
folder that contains your current version of Windows, | |||
Mwave will continue to function. | |||
3. Device Manager indicates problems with the infrared port. | |||
- IBM is updating the Infrared virtual device driver (VxD) | |||
so that it works correctly. | |||
4. Docking is not supported. | |||
- IBM should soon release fixes to its Plug and | |||
Play BIOS, which enables full Windows 98 Plug and | |||
Play and docking support. For updates to the System | |||
Program Service Diskette for your model of ThinkPad, | |||
check the IBM bulletin board. See your hardware | |||
documentation for information about accessing the | |||
bulletin board. | |||
5. There are power management problems with the | |||
Suspend and Resume commands. | |||
- If you have a 1994 BIOS, you can usually resolve | |||
these problems by upgrading to the latest Flash BIOS | |||
revision from 1995. You can find it on CompuServe, | |||
ThinkPad forum, or on the IBM bulletin board. See | |||
your IBM hardware documentation for information about | |||
accessing the bulletin board. | |||
6. Using Mwave versions earlier than 1.2 can cause problems. | |||
- Bugs in earlier versions of Mwave can cause serious | |||
problems when Mwave is run on Windows 98 Second Edition. | |||
For more information, call the IBM PC HelpCenter. | |||
IBM ThinkPad Dock II | |||
-------------------- | |||
If you use IBM ThinkPad Dock II, disable the BIOS | |||
for the Adaptec 1530P SCSI controller in the docking | |||
station before you start your computer when it is | |||
docked. If you do not, your computer will freeze | |||
repeatedly. This controller works fine in protected | |||
mode even without the BIOS enabled, so you should not | |||
lose access to any SCSI devices. | |||
>>>To disable the BIOS: | |||
1. Restart your computer while it is docked. | |||
2. Press CTRL+A to start the Adaptec SCSISelect utility. | |||
3. Choose Configure/View Host Adapter Settings. | |||
4. Choose Advanced Configuration Options. | |||
5. Change the setting for Host Adapter BIOS to Disabled. | |||
6. Press ESC until you are prompted to exit the utility. | |||
When you exit, the computer will restart. | |||
Another solution is to disable the BIOS completely, | |||
thus enabling the adapter to run completely in Plug | |||
and Play mode. The BIOS resources are allocated | |||
dynamically at Windows 98 startup. However, this | |||
solution requires that you change a DIP switch inside | |||
the dock station. For details about disabling the SCSI | |||
adapter BIOS, refer to your Dock II manual. | |||
Micron M5-PI Series (P-60, P-66) | |||
-------------------------------- | |||
Before you install Windows 98 Second Edition, make | |||
sure the BIOS read/write jumper (W22) is set to the | |||
read-only position. If you try to install Windows 98 | |||
Second Edition with this jumper in the read\write | |||
position, it may cause BIOS corruption. For more | |||
information, contact Micron Technologies. | |||
Micron P90/100 | |||
--------------- | |||
Before you install Windows 98 Second Edition, make sure | |||
your BIOS version is N15 or later. For more information, | |||
contact Micron Technologies. | |||
NEC Versa M and AT&T Globalyst | |||
------------------------------ | |||
If you use NEC Versa M and AT&T Globalyst, set | |||
the BIOS setting for PCMCIA Power to Enabled before | |||
running the PC Card (PCMCIA) wizard to enable the | |||
Windows 98 PCMCIA support. The default setting | |||
is disabled. | |||
>>>To enable the PCMCIA Power setting: | |||
1. Restart your computer. | |||
2. When the cursor changes to a rectangle, press F1. | |||
3. When the BIOS configuration program is ready, | |||
select Power, and then change the PCMCIA Power | |||
setting to Enabled. | |||
4. Save these settings. | |||
Winbook XP | |||
---------- | |||
A problem on the Winbook XP can cause the | |||
keyboard to function incorrectly. The workaround | |||
is to disable Windows 98 power status polling. | |||
>>>To disable Windows 98 power status polling: | |||
1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control | |||
Panel, and then double-click System. | |||
2. Click Device Manager. | |||
3. Click the plus (+) sign next to the System Class | |||
you want to change. | |||
4. Click Advanced Power Management Support, and | |||
then click Settings. | |||
5. Make sure that the Disable Power Status Polling | |||
check box is selected. | |||
6. Click OK to save your changes. | |||
HP OmniBook 600C | |||
---------------- | |||
The Omnibook PCMCIA controller is supported | |||
via special drivers in the Drivers folder on | |||
the CD version of Windows 98 Second Edition, or | |||
via the Windows Drivers Library (WDL) on various | |||
online services. In the Drivers folder on the CD, | |||
refer to the Readme file for installation instructions. | |||
The OmniBook also requires a special mouse driver for | |||
Windows 98. Windows 98 Second Edition Setup preserves | |||
and uses this driver when you upgrade from an earlier | |||
version of Windows. If you installed Windows 98 Second | |||
Edition in a new folder on an OmniBook, copy the HP | |||
Obmouse.drv file into the Windows 98\System folder, | |||
and then change the following lines in your System.ini | |||
file: | |||
mouse.drv=obmouse.drv | |||
mouse=*vmd | |||
DEC Hi Note Ultra | |||
------------------ | |||
There are known problems with PCMCIA under older | |||
BIOS versions on this machine. If your PC Card | |||
(PCMIA) is not correctly recognized, update your | |||
BIOS to a version later than 1.3. | |||
Acer AcerNotes | |||
-------------- | |||
You may hear a low tone when you insert your | |||
PC Card after you activate the 32-bit PC Card | |||
drivers. If this happens, remove the EMMExclude | |||
line from the System.ini file and the exclude range | |||
data from the EMM386 line in the Config.sys file. | |||
If you still get a low tone, complete the following | |||
procedure: | |||

-------------------------------------------------- | |||
If you are using the NoteFLEX with the Flexshow | |||
docking station, reserve IRQ 10 so that the built- | |||
in CD-ROM drive will work. To do this, follow the | |||
procedure in the previous section, "Zenith | |||
NoteFLEX 486 DX and PC Cards" and reserve only | |||
IRQ 10. | |||
In your Config.sys file, make sure the line loading | |||
Mztinit.sys appears before the line loading | |||
PCenable.exe or your computer will stop responding | |||
during startup. | |||
To avoid numerous Bad Command or File Name errors | |||
during startup and to ensure the computer is | |||
configured correctly, copy Rplstr.com from your | |||
\Dos directory to your \Windows directory. | |||
Zenith NoteFLEX 486DX and PCMCIA Hard Drives | |||
-------------------------------------------- | |||

VIDEO CAPTURE DEVICES | |||
===================== | |||
Kodak DVC-300 | |||
------------- | |||
The Kodak DVC-300 USB digital camera is not supported | |||
in Windows 98 Second Edition. Kodak has a version of | |||
the DVC-300 software available from their Web site at | |||
http://www.kodak.com. When upgrading to Windows 98 | |||
Second Edition, this camera will show the following | |||
message in the device manager for this device: | |||
"Kodak DVC needs update. Go to http://www.kodak.com." | |||
Windows Device Manager Video Capture Devices | |||
and Video for Windows Applications | |||
-------------------------------------------- | |||
Applications that use the Video for Windows 1.1 (VFW) | |||
interfaces also use drivers that conform to the VfW 1.1 | |||
driver interfaces. However, with the new Windows Device | |||
Manager (WDM) video capture interfaces in Windows 98, | |||
applications can no longer use the VfW interfaces to | |||
directly communicate with these WDM-based devices. | |||
Windows 98 Second Edition includes a software layer that | |||
translates VfW 1.1 interfaces into WDM video capture interfaces. | |||
This translation software works only for video capture | |||
devices on external busses (USB and 1394) in Windows 98. | |||
Analog capture devices (such as PCI cards with video | |||
decoder chips that use WDM drivers) cannot use this | |||
translation software. The original VfW drivers for these | |||
analog capture devices will continue to work but they | |||
cannot be used in combination with the newer WDM drivers. | |||
An updated version of this translation software is | |||
available at http://www.microsoft.com/support. | |||
For information, search for "Video for Windows WDM". | |||
MODEMS | |||
====== | |||
Modem Properties | |||
---------------- | |||
To use your modem with the built-in communications | |||

Modem Detection May Start Autorun CDs | |||
------------------------------------- | |||
On some computers, running modem detection may start | |||
the CD-ROM Autorun feature. | |||
PC Card Modem Power Management: Modem Not Found or Not Ready | |||
------------------------------------------------------------ | |||
When PC Card Power Management is enabled, some PC Card modems | |||
need an extra delay before they are ready. Because of this | |||
problem, your modem may not work at times even though it may | |||
work at other times. | |||
>>>To increase the delay, carry out the following steps: | |||
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit and then click OK. | |||
2. Go to \HKey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\ | |||
Services\Class\Modem. | |||
3. Click the key for the modem that you are trying to use. | |||
4. To add a key in the root of the modem, click Edit, point | |||
to New, and then click DWORD Value. | |||
5. Name the DWord ConfigDelay. | |||
6. Set the value equal to "3000" for a 3-second delay. | |||
TAPE DRIVE DETECTION | |||
==================== | |||
Plug and Play software does not detect tape drives. | |||
Tape drive detection is a function of the drivers | |||
provided with the Windows 98 Second Edition Backup | |||
program or of the backup software that came with the | |||
drive. As a result, without a backup program installed | |||
on your computer, the only tape drives that appear in | |||
Device Manager are SCSI tape drives, which may appear | |||
as either an unknown device in Device Manager or a | |||
generic tape drive. | |||
However, most backup programs do detect tape drives, | |||
so don't be concerned if your tape drive does not | |||
appear in Device Manager. If your backup software does | |||
not detect your tape drive, contact the company | |||
that wrote the software. | |||
ZIP TOOLS AND THE IOMEGA PARALLEL ZIP DISK | |||
========================================== | |||
In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click | |||
the Zip drive, and then click Format. The IOMEGA Format | |||
window displays an option for a full format of | |||
the drive. If you select this option, the following | |||
blue-screen, fatal-exception error may occur: | |||
A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C3C64C51 | |||
in VXD IOMEGA (01) + 00000CB5. The current | |||
application will be terminated. Pressing any key | |||
closes the Explorer window. | |||
To correct this problem, contact IOMEGA and obtain a | |||
new Iomega.vxd file. Click Start, point to Find, and then | |||
click Files or Folders. Find the old Iomega.vxd file and | |||
replace it with the newer version. | |||
ISDN DRIVERS | |||
============ | |||
USR Sportster ISDN 128K | |||
----------------------- | |||
This includes upgrading from Windows 95 while running | |||
USR 5.3 Drivers | |||
It is recommended that USR Sportster ISDN 128K users | |||
update to driver version 5.4 from 3COM at | |||
http://totalservice.usr.com, before upgrading to | |||
Windows 98 Second Edition. | |||
If you have already upgraded to Windows 98 Second Edition | |||
with driver version 5.3 installed and have problems such | |||
as Dial-Up Networking reporting that "The computer you are | |||
dialing is not responding," you can make a note of your | |||
ISDN configuration and then remove your ISDN adapter and | |||
drivers. Then, install the USR 5.3 drivers. | |||
Using the Diamond NetCommander ISDN - 128K - Multilink PPP | |||
---------------------------------------------------------- | |||
It is recommended that NetCommander users configure | |||
their adapters to connect at 64K, without Multilink PPP. | |||
Both Diamond and Microsoft are looking into a known | |||
problem with running the NetCommander ISDN under | |||
Windows 98 with Multilink PPP. It is recommended that | |||
you check both the Diamond and Microsoft Web sites for | |||
updated NetCommander drivers. | |||
USR Databurst ISDN Adapter | |||
-------------------------- | |||
Information about Windows 98 Second Edition support for | |||
the DataBurst terminal adapter is available at | |||
http://totalservice.usr.com. | |||
Information about using this adapter under Windows 98 | |||
Second Edition is listed in the Documentation Library | |||
(dbinstll.pdf) and the Databurst FAQs. | |||
Teles ISDN Adapters | |||
------------------- | |||
Customers have reported that the 3.26 German driver | |||
version does work properly under Windows 98; however, | |||
there are known problems using the Teles 3.23 CAPI | |||
driver under Windows 98 Second Edition. | |||
For CAPI driver version 3.23I and 3.26, users need to | |||
install the adapter before installing the TELES application | |||
package (OnlinePowerPack 5.0 or 6.0). If you installed the | |||
application package first, you have to delete the registry | |||
key | |||
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\TELES | |||
and its subkeys before installing the adapter. This problem | |||
is fixed in driver versions 3.26I and 3.28. | |||
The Teles TAPI service provider from the driver release | |||
3.23i does not work under Windows 98 Second Edition. You | |||
must remove it manually using the Telephony Control Panel. | |||
Please check the Teles Web site at http://www.teles.de or | |||
http://www.teles.com for up-to-date information. | |||
Upgrading from Windows 95 with Eicon ISDN Adapters | |||
-------------------------------------------------- | |||
Certain Eicon adapters cannot make Dial-Up Networking | |||
connections after the upgrade to Windows 98 Second | |||
Edition or some other functionality is missing. | |||
It is recommended that you first make note of your | |||
ISDN switch/SPID configuration. Next, remove your | |||
Eicon adapter and driver using the Network control panel. | |||
Finally, reinstall your Eicon adapter using the Diva | |||
Install Media provided by Eicon. | |||
Eicon customers should visit the Eicon Web site at | |||
http://www.eicon.com for information on the latest | |||
Eicon ISDN drivers. | |||

USB DEVICES | |||
=========== | |||
CMD OHCI USB Controller REV_04 | |||
------------------------------ | |||
If you upgrade your machine and have a PCI | |||
add-in USB host controller from CMD, you may | |||
see the following string in the Device Manager: | |||
"Rev 04 CMD USB controller not supported by Microsoft" | |||
This device is not supported by Microsoft. You | |||
can contact CMD about getting a filter driver | |||
that should enable your machine to work. | |||
NEC USB OHCI Host Controllers | |||
---------------------------------------------- | |||
Some older systems ship with a USB OHCI host | |||
controller from NEC that has known problems | |||
with bulk devices. You may experience problems | |||
with this host controller when using bulk USB | |||
devices such as scanners, printers, and modems. | |||
Belkin USB Hubs | |||
--------------- | |||
There are two issues with this device: | |||
- The power adapter does not supply enough power | |||
for hub to be able to support four full | |||
bus-powered devices. | |||
- The hub always reports itself as a self-powered | |||
device, even when being used as a bus-powered device. | |||
If you always use the power adapter, you will avoid | |||
having the hub always report to itself as a self-powered | |||
device. You should note that if you have four devices | |||
plugged in to the hub, you may run into intermittent | |||
problems. | |||
CATC USB Bus-Powered Hubs | |||
------------------------- | |||
This hub sometimes fails to work with low-speed | |||
devices such as keyboards, mice, and joysticks. The | |||
solution is to use only self-powered devices with | |||
this hub. | |||
Hitachi Visionbook Plus 4000 Series Laptop | |||
------------------------------------------ | |||
USB is disabled on these machines due to problems | |||
on the laptop with power. The laptop does not | |||
properly support high-powered bus-powered devices. | |||
Original Intel USB Camera | |||
------------------------- | |||
This original USB Camera (the square-shaped | |||
camera, not the oval-shaped camera that is | |||
currently available) has problems working on | |||
OHCI host controllers. | |||
This device should be used on UHCI host | |||
controllers. | |||
NEC Flat Screen Monitor with USB Hub | |||
------------------------------------ | |||
This device has problems with low-speed devices | |||
such as keyboards, mouse devices, and joysticks | |||
when plugging and unplugging. You may have to | |||
plug in and re-plug in the device several times to | |||
get it to work correctly. | |||
Thrustmaster Top Gun USB Joystick | |||
--------------------------------- | |||
This device has problems working on OHCI host | |||
controllers. This device should be used on UHCI | |||
host controllers. | |||
Thrustmaster GrandPrix Steering Wheel | |||
------------------------------------- | |||
This device has problems working on OHCI host | |||
controllers. This device should be used on UHCI | |||
host controllers. | |||
NEC NX Series Machines | |||
---------------------- | |||
These machines come equipped with a legacy mode | |||
USB BIOS that allows the USB keyboard to work | |||
in real mode. When you suspend and resume your | |||
computer, wake up the machine by using the NEC | |||
USB keyboard/mouse, or the device will not | |||
work after the computer is resumed. You need to | |||
unplug and re-plug in the device. | |||
Unixtar USB Hubs | |||
---------------- | |||
The hub always reports itself as a self-powered | |||
device, even when being used as a bus-powered | |||
device. In order for the hub to work correctly, | |||
you must always use the power adapter. | |||
Samsung USB Keyboard with Hub | |||
----------------------------- | |||
The hub on the Samsung USB keyboard does not | |||
always identify itself correctly. When it | |||
identifies itself as a self-powered device, | |||
it confuses the operating system, causing odd | |||
behavior with the hub portion of the keyboard. | |||
There is no workaround. Use low-powered | |||
USB devices such as mouse and gaming devices | |||
or self-powered devices with this keyboard. |
