standby mode even after a timeout. To enable the computer to enter standby

mode, do the following:

1. Click Start.

2. Move the cursor to Settings and Control Panel.

3. Click Control Panel, and then double-click System.

4. Click the Device Manager tab.

5. Click the + mark of CD-ROM.

6. Double-click the name of the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.

7. Click the Settings tab.

8. Clear the Auto insert notification check box.

Windows 98 no longer detects the insertion of a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM

automatically.
