What do I do with the message window: “The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other
removable disk that is not available. Insert the 'Watcher' Disk and click OK”?


If Watcher is being loaded on a computer that has a fresh Windows 2000 operating system load and has

not had any other software loaded to this point, you may see the following message: “The feature you
are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the Watcher Disk

and click OK”. Dismiss the message by clicking

Cancel

. This is a one time event and should not happen

again.


Why won’t my laptop hibernate or go into standby since I loaded Watcher software?


Due to power control issues with Windows 2000 SP2 (Service Pack 2) and earlier regarding USB device

management, a standby / hibernate blocker has been written into Watcher software. If the laptop is
upgraded to Windows 2000 SP3, the software will see this and restore the standby and hibernate

functionality.
