Backing Up Your System

This section provides additional information to the

User's Guide

backing up your system.

ConfigSafe ConfigSafe is an application program that periodically takes

snapshots

of your system files. If your computer does not operate

properly after you install a new device driver or software, use

ConfigSafe to restore the last working version of your system files.

Although it might not make your new hardware or software work, it

will set your computer up and running again. This application

protects your data.

ThinkPad Web Site or Bulletin Board

IBM supplies all of the latest hardware device drivers and system

BIOS for your computer on the ThinkPad Web site:

Updates and Corrections

Corrections Note the following corrections:

The Recovery CD does support Windows 98.

The Diskette Factory program does support Windows 98.

Using a PC Card You can use a PC Card without PC Card support software

(CardWizard). For details on how to use a PC Card, see the manual

for Windows 98.

In addition, if you are using a communication card such as a PC

Card modem or a network PC Card, you should not enter your

computer into suspend mode, enter it into hibernation mode, or click

on Stand by in the “Shut Down Window” window.

Note: If you want to enter your computer into suspend mode, first

stop the PC Card in the “PC Card (PCMCIA) Properties”

window as follows:

Click on Start, move the cursor to Settings, and click on

Control Panel.

Double-click on PC Card (PCMCIA).

From the list, select the card you are stopping.

Click on the Stop button.

If you remove a communication PC Card from the PC Card slot and

then reinsert it later, it might not work correctly. You need to reboot

your computer.

Using Power Management

For information about power management, see the

Online User's

Guide

rather than the

User's Guide

In addition, note the following:

Suppose you activate the alarm action as follows:

Notification: Display message

Power level: When the alarm goes off, the computer will Standby.

Now, if your computer enters into suspend or hibernation mode when

the battery is low before the alarm message appears, you see the

4IBM ThinkPad 385XD Guide for Windows 98

message when the computer resumes. To resume normal operation,

press OK.

Note: You can set the alarm action as follows:

Start the ThinkPad Configuration program.

Click on Power Management.

Click on the Alarm tab.

Put a check mark in the Low Battery Alarm check box,

the Critical Low Battery Alarm check box, or both.

Set the percentage of the power level.

Click on the Alarm Action... button. You can set the

alarm action in the next window.

Using Windows 98 In Windows 98, it takes longer to enter suspend mode and resume to

normal operation than it does in Windows 95. This performance

difference is a result of Windows 98, not the ThinkPad features.
