If Stacker compression software isn’t working properly
•
If you choose to install Stacker for an HP flash disk, use these steps:
1. Insert the flash disk.
2. Use Notepad or other text editor to open the SINSTALL.BAT file on the flash
disk.
3. Insert this new line just after the DETECT line
GOTO HPOBPL
then save the change.
4. Run SINSTALL from the flash disk—then do the steps below.
•
Check CONFIG.SYS for the proper Stacker setup—otherwise, the card slots may
not function properly. Do the following after you install Stacker:
1. Delete the WEAR.EXE program from the flash disk—WEAR can accidentally
corrupt the data on the disk or damage the disk.
2. Use SysEdit or a text editor to open the C:\CONFIG.SYS file.
3. Make sure the Stacker line specifies drives that match your card slots—edit the
line as required. For example, the following line specifies your normal card slot
configuration:
device=c:\stacker\stacker.com
/p=0 d: e:
4. Make sure the Stacker line comes before the DRVSPACE.SYS or
DBLSPACE.SYS line if present and before the Pacific Rim line ( prspf.sys )
if present.
5. If you make any changes, save them and reboot the OmniBook.
If you get unwanted messages about unrecognized PCMCIA cards
•
You can suppress warnings about PCMCIA cards that aren’t configured properly
when you insert them. Use SysEdit or a text editor to open the CONFIG.SYS file,
find the OBMGM.COM line and add a space and
-c at the end.
Serial and Infrared Communications Problems
See the Windows Quick Start manual for general information about setting up serial
ports. On the OmniBook, the serial port, infrared port, and certain PCMCIA I/O cards
are all “serial” ports.
