    Using SmartMedia cards
    Hot swapping
    One of the great things about PC Cards is that you can replace one 
    PC Card with another while the computer is on. This is called “hot 
    swapping.” 
    Hot swapping precautions
    Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, to avoid data loss 
    never remove a card while it is in use. For example:
    Never remove a hard disk card while the system is accessing 
    it.
    Never remove a network card while you are connected to a 
    network.
    Before removing a PC Card, shut it down by clicking the PC Card 
    (PCMCIA) icon on the taskbar. Once the PC Card has stopped, 
    you can safely remove it. See “Removing PC Cards” on 
    page 160.
    Using SmartMedia cards
    SmartMedia cards are super compact memory cards that are 
    highly portable and can be carried in a pocketbook or credit card 
    holder. SmartMedia cards are used to exchange data with other 
    portable devices, such as digital cameras and Personal Digital 
    Assistants (PDAs). They are also found in electronic musical 
    instruments, voice recorders, faxes, printers, scanners, word 
    processors and handy terminals.
    To locate the SmartMedia card slot, see “Left side” on page 31.
    Inserting a SmartMedia card
    1Turn the card so that the connector (metal area) faces up.
    2Push the card into the slot until it locks in place.

    Emulating a full-size keyboard
    Removing a SmartMedia card
    1Press the card inward to release it.
    The card pops out slightly.
    2Lift the side of the computer, grasp the card, and pull it 
    straight out.
    Emulating a full-size keyboard
    Although the computer’s keyboard layout is compatible with a 
    standard full-size keyboard, it has fewer keys. 
    Pressing the
     Fn key simultaneously in combination with one of the 
    specially marked keys allows you to emulate a full-size keyboard.

    WinDVD 2000
    WinDVD is a software program for playing back CDs, VideoCDs 
    and DVDs. This chapter explains how to use this program.
    Playing DVDs
    TECHNICAL NOTE: For optimum DVD performance, always 
    play DVDs while your computer is connected to AC power.
    For systems with a DVD-ROM or DVD-ROM/CD-RW  
    multifunction drive, you can use InterVideo WinDVD™
     to play 
    DVDs. WinDVD is an easy-to-use, full-featured multimedia 
    control center that helps you get the most out of the exciting world 
    of DVD technology. If your computer has a DVD-ROM or

    Playing DVDs
    DVD-ROM/CD-RW multifunction drive, your computer comes 
    with WinDVD preinstalled.
    WARNING: Before playing a DVD, turn down the volume. 
    Playing the disc at maximum volume could damage your 
    ears. See “Using the control panel playback buttons” on 
    page 167 to locate the volume control buttons.
    Fit the DVD-ROM or DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive into the Modular 
    Bay. Insert a DVD into the drive, following the instructions in 
    “Inserting a disc” on page 77. The computer automatically 
    detects the disc in the drive and opens WinDVD. If the autoplay 
    feature is enabled, the DVD automatically begins to play (see 
    “Setting general properties” on page 173 for information on 
    enabling autoplay).
    To open WinDVD manually:
    1Click Start, and point to Programs.
    2Point to InterVideo WinDVD, then click InterVideo 
    WinDVD.

    Playing DVDs
    Sample WinDVD video window with the control panel 
    Using the WinDVD toolbar
    The WinDVD window contains a toolbar at the top and a status 
    bar at the bottom. If the toolbar or status bar does not appear, you 
    can display them by following the instructions in “Setting general 
    properties” on page 173. 
    The toolbar contains basic DVD playback controls. Pause the 
    pointer over a button to display its definition. The toolbar also 
    contains an adjustment button (see “Adjusting the color 
    balance” on page 183 for more information). 
    Using the WinDVD status bar

    in the DVD content. Move the time slider to the left to go

    backward or move it to the right to go forward. The current time 
    slot is indicated on the right side of the status bar. 
    The playback speed slider enables you to control the speed at 
    which the DVD plays. Move the slider to the left to slow the 
    playback speed or move it to the right to play the DVD faster. 
    Placing the slider in the center plays the DVD at normal speed, 
    and enables the audio. The audio is automatically muted at any 
    other playback speed.
    The current chapter indicator displays the DVD chapter that is 
    currently playing.
    Using the WinDVD control panel
    The WinDVD control panel resembles the control panel of a 
    standard home DVD player. 
    TECHNICAL NOTE: The DVD author determines what 
    features the DVD supports. Depending on the DVD format 
    and your computer’s hardware configuration, some of the 
    control panel features may be unavailable when playing a 
    DVD. Unsupported features appear gray, and you cannot 
    select them.

    You can open a shortcut menu, by positioning the cursor over the 
    WinDVD window, other than over the control panel, then clicking 
    the secondary button. The shortcut menu contains the same 
    features as the control panel, plus the enable caption feature, 
    which displays captions for the hearing impaired.
    You can also create a playlist, to customize the order in which the 
    DVD content plays (see “Creating playlists” on page 170). 
    Once a DVD is playing, the counter displays the current chapter 
    and elapsed time, in hours:minutes:seconds format.
    From the WinDVD control panel, you can open an expanded 
    control panel by clicking the expanded controls button. The 
    expanded control panel contains several advanced features. See 
    “Using WinDVD Advanced Features” on page 177 for an 
    explanation of these features.

    Once you have inserted a DVD and started WinDVD, you are

    A playlist is a customized list of DVD files in the order in which 
    you want to view them. For example, you may want to create a 
    playlist for DVDs that contain music files, so you can play the 
    music selections you want in the order you want to hear them. You 
    can only save one playlist at a time.
