Insert the Windows ME/2000 CD into the CD-ROM drive. 2. ATAPI CD-ROM Drive must be set to boot before the Hard Drive in BIOS setup (press F2 during boot) or press Esc and select "ATAPI CD-ROM Drive" (use the up and down arrows and press Enter) NOTE: You may be prompted to press a key to boot from the CD. Failure to do so will result in booting from your next boot device. 3. Press Enter to Setup Windows and press F8 after you have read and accepted the Licensing Agreement. 4. Windows ME: If you have an existing OS, you can choose to install Windows ME in another directory in order to preserve your existing OS. You will be given an OS choice each time you boot up your Notebook PC. If you currently use Windows 95/98 and wish to preserve your installed applications and settings, "upgrade" Windows by installing into your existing directory. Windows 2000: If you have a previous OS, press ESC to install a fresh copy of Windows 2000. Follow the next screens to partition your hard drive. Use the "NTFS" file system for increased functionality. Installing in the same partition as an existing OS will give you a choice to format or leave intact. If you leave intact without formatting, you will be given an OS choice each time you boot up your Notebook PC. 5. After you install Windows, insert the Notebook PC support CD to install drivers and utilities. 3 Support CD for Windows ME & 2000 The Notebook PC you purchased may or may not be preloaded with an operating system. The support CD included with this Notebook PC provides all the necessary drivers and utilities in order for you to use your Notebook PC with Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/ME/2000/NT4.0 (referred to as "Windows" in this User's Manual). This Notebook PC offers its customers the choice of a pre-installed operating system such as Microsoft Windows ME (Millennium Edition) or Windows 2000. The choices and languages will depend on the territory. The levels of hardware and software support may vary depending on the installed operating system. Operating systems not pre-installed on this Notebook PC may produce different results than the ones described in the provided user's manuals. If your Notebook PC is not preloaded with any operating system, or you want to install another operating system other than the preloaded one, the following pages will give step-by-step installation procedures for typical system configurations under the Windows® operating system. For application usage, please see the online help provided with each of the applications after installation. The following is what you will see when you insert the support CD. If the autorun menu does not appear, double clicking the CD-ROM disc drive icon in "My Computer" (may be the (D:) drive or (E:) drive on hard drives with two partitions) or running SETUP.EXE (through Start menu "Run...") located in the root of the support CD, will bring up the autorun menu. Autorun Screen for Windows ME Autorun Screen for Windows 2000 4 Drivers for Windows ME & 2000 The following are descriptions of what each autorun menu item does when selected with the mouse. Due to ongoing improvements in the support CD, there may be some differences between this User's Manual and your support CD. The names in quotations are the actual driver names displayed in the System Properties of MS Windows. Windows cannot contain all the device drivers from every manufacturer, with every update; therefore the provided support CD will contain the best driver for your built-in devices and should be used in place of any Windows default drivers. VGA Driver (required) Installs "SiS 630" display drivers for your operating system in order to properly use the Notebook PC's builtin graphics and to provide optimal features. Once the display driver is installed, you can change your display's resolution and color through Display Properties. Right click the desktop and choose Properties or choose Display from the Control Panel. See this section for basic procedures on setting the display. Read the Windows documentation or Windows help files for detailed information if necessary. AGP Driver (required for Windows 2000) Windows 2000 requires an AGP driver for this Notebook PC because the graphics hardware is much newer than what is provided with the operating system. Audio Driver (required) Installs drivers for your operating system in order to properly use the Notebook PC's built-in audio. The drivers will enable "SiS 7018 Audio Driver" for high-bandwidth rich audio. All audio functions are configured through Windows and help can be located within Windows documentation or Windows help files. ASUS PC Probe (optional) Installs PC Probe utility to monitor the Notebook PC's CPU temperature and other resources. This is an optional software to help you better manage your Notebook PC's resources. LAN Driver (required) Installs the required LAN driver for the Notebook PC's built-in SiS 900 PCI Fast-Ethernet controller. FastEthernet supports both 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX networks at half or full duplex. TouchPad (recommended) Installs "Synaptics® TouchPad" utility. The Notebook PC fully supports built-in or externally connected keyboard and PS/2 mouse devices. The Notebook PC's integrated TouchPad pointing device is fully compatible with two or three-button PS/2 mice. However, the provided device driver will provide enhancements and features to the TouchPad to increase the functionality of the TouchPad. For detailed information, see the Software Reference in the next section. To access help, right-click the TouchPad icon on the taskbar and select Help. 5 Modem Driver (required) Installs the necessary "Motorola SM56 Fax Modem" driver in order for your operating system to have the correct files for the Notebook PC with built-in modem and "Unimodem Full-Duplex Audio Device" for integration with the internal audio. PC-cillin 2000 (optional) Installs Trend's PC-cillin 2000, a world-class anti-virus protection software for the new Internet era, to keep your PC virus-free. This very powerful anti-virus software is bundled with each Notebook PC to protect your investment. As software become more and more a part of our daily lives, measures have to be taken to protect them. You may skip this software if you have your own anti-virus software. Fast IR Driver (required) Configures your Infrared Transceiver A to "IBM 31T1100" so that your Infrared port can work properly. Hotkey Utility (required) Installs Hotkey utility. Hotkey utility is a program designed to intercept key strokes so that key assignments can be made to run a program or script. This program cannot be used to change default keys or key combinations used by other software, operating systems, or by the Notebook PC's hardware. The Hotkey utility is currently not available for Windows 2000/NT4.0. IDE Driver (required for Windows 2000) Windows 2000 requires an IDE driver for this Notebook PC because the IDE hardware is much newer than what is provided with the operating system. This driver will allow enhanced IDE throughput for the hard disk drive and CD/DVD-ROM. Read Me Gives you notes concerning this support CD or the Notebook PC.
