PCI Systems

———–

If the video is configured by the BIOS to consume an IRQ and you need

to use the secondary PCI IDE controller in your PC, your video will work

only in VGA mode. To load the accelerated Windows 95 driver for your video,

disable the secondary PCI IDE controller in the BIOS and the Device Manager

(located in the System control panel). Another 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 IBM’s bulletin board. Download the latest System Program

Service Diskette for the Thinkpad 750 from the BBS. See your hardware

documentation for information on how to access the IBM bulletin board.

IBM Thinkpad Models 755cd, cx, ce, cse, cdv (but not 755c)

———————————————————-

We are in the process of resolving with IBM several known problems:

1. Mwave is lost if you have more than 8 MB of memory.

– IBM is working on updated drivers. The 1.1 revision does not

solve this problem.

2. If you install Windows 95 into the same directory that contains

your current version of Windows, Mwave will continue to function.

– If you install Windows 95 to a different directory, Mwave will

not work unless you reinstall the Mwave drivers by using IBM’s

Mwave setup program disks. This is by design. The Windows 3.1

drivers are required to run the Mwave chip.

3. The infrared port shows up with problems in Device Manager.

– IBM is working on an updated Infrared VxD that resolves this

problem.

4. Docking is not supported.

– IBM is expected to release fixes to their Plug and Play BIOS

shortly, which will enable full Windows 95 Plug and Play and

docking support. For updates to the System Program Service

Diskette for your model of Thinkpad, check IBM’s 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 IBM’s bulletin board.

See your IBM hardware documentation for information about accessing

the bulletin board.

6. Mwave versions earlier than 1.2 contain numerous bugs.

– These bugs in earlier versions of Mwave cause serious problems when

Mwave is run on Windows 95. For more information, call the IBM PC

HelpCenter.

IBM Thinkpad Dock II

——————–

If you use IBM Thinkpad Dock II, you must disable the BIOS for the

Adaptec 1530P SCSI controller in the docking station before starting

your computer while it is docked. If you do not, your computer will

hang repeatedly. This controller works fine in protected mode even

without the BIOS enabled, so you should not lose access to any SCSI

devices as a result.

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.

Press ESC until you are prompted to exit the utility, at which point

the computer will restart.

An even better solution is to disable the BIOS completely, which will

enable the adapter to run completely in Plug and Play mode. This will

allow its resources to be allocated dynamically at Windows 95 startup.

However, this requires changing a DIP switch inside the dock unit.

For details about disabling the SCSI adapter BIOS, refer to your Dock II

manual.

Micron M5-PI Series

——————-

Before installing Windows, users of Micron M5-PI series (P-60, P-66)

need to be sure the BIOS read/write jumper(W22) is set to the read-only

position. If you try to install Windows 95 with this jumper in the

read\write position, it may cause BIOS corruption. For more information,

contact Micron Technologies.

Micron P90/100

—————

Before installing Windows, users of Micron P90 and P100 systems must

make sure their BIOS version is N15 or later. For more information,

contact Micron Technologies.

NEC Versa M and AT&T Globalyst

——————————

If you use AT&T Globalyst and NEC Versa M, you must set the BIOS

setting for PCMCIA Power to Enabled before running the PC Card (PCMCIA)

wizard to enable the Windows 95 PCMCIA support. The default setting is

Disabled.

To change the PCMCIA Power setting to Enabled:

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

———-

There is a problem on the Winbook XP which could cause the keyboard

not to function properly. The workaround is to disable Windows 95

power status polling.

To disable Windows 95 power status polling:

1. In Control Panel, double-click the System icon, and then click the

Device Manager tab.

2. Click the plus (+) sign next to the system class you want to change.

3. Double click Advanced Power Management Support, and then click the

Settings tab.

4. Make sure that the Disable Power Status Polling box is checked.

5. Click OK to save your changes and exit Control Panel.

HP OmniBook 600C

—————-

The Omnibook’s PCMCIA controller is supported via special drivers

in the Drivers directory on the CD version of Windows 95, or via the

Windows Drivers Library (WDL) on various on-line services.

Refer to the Readme file in the Drivers directory for installation

instructions.

The OmniBook also requires a special mouse driver for Windows.

Windows 95 Setup will preserve and use this driver when upgrading over

Windows 3.1. If you installed Windows 95 into a new directory

on an OmniBook, then you must copy the HP Obmouse.drv file into the

Windows\System directory, and then change the following lines in your

System.ini file:

[boot]

mouse.drv=obmouse.drv

[386Enh]

mouse=*vmd

DEC Hi Note Ultra

——————

There are known problems with PCMCIA under older BIOS versions on

this machine. If you encounter difficulties getting your PCMCIA cards

recognized correctly, update your BIOS to a version later than

3/31/95 (v.1.3).

Acer Acernotes

————–

You may hear a negative (low) tone when you insert the PCMCIA card

after activating the 32-bit PCMCIA drivers. If this happens, remove

the EMMExclude line from the System.ini file and the exclude range

Windows generates Blue Screen errors when reconfiguring your COM ports,

contact Digital for a new BIOS.

Printing from Device Manager

—————————-

If you choose to print “all devices and system summary” from Device

Manager, the device detection code MAY cause problems for MS-DOS-

based programs. The symptom of this problem is that after you print,

your computer reports that it is out of memory when you try to run

an MS-DOS-based program. When this problem occurs, you may need to

restart Windows to correct the problem.

Mozart Sound Card/Canon Innova 550 CD Driver Problem

—————————————————-

You may experience problems when you start up Windows 95. To receive

a new driver that works with Windows 95, contact the Canon Help Desk.

Users of TrueFFS Flash File System for PCMCIA Cards

To regain access to all three drives, remove the REM command from the

beginning of the MSCDEX line in your Autoexec.bat file. You also need

to disable the Windows 95 protected-mode disk driver. To do this, carry

out the following procedure:

1. Click the Start button, and then point to Settings.

2. Click Control Panel, and then double-click the System icon.

3. Click the Device Manager tab.

4. Click View Devices By Connection.

5. Click plus signs next to devices until you find the Sanyo drive.

6. After you find the Sanyo drive, look at the levels above it

until you find the parent controller.

7. Click the controller, and then click Properties.

8. In the Device Usage area, clear the check box next to the current

configuration.

This will enable access to all three drives from Windows 95 protected-

mode; however, your disk, CD, and any other devices under the controller

will be accessed only through real-mode drivers.

For information about updating your driver to a Windows 95 driver,

contact your hardware vendor.

SCANNERS

========

Windows 95 will detect most scanner hardware, but does not supply

protected-mode drivers for any scanner model.

All SCSI scanners use a feature called ASPI to talk to the controller

in question. Windows 95 supports ASPI in protected mode. Hence, a

scanner, although listed as an “u
