My computer switches to hibernation mode much too quickly
and I have to constantly hit a key or move the mouse to bring
back the screen. What can I do?
This is part of Windows Power Management. Access Power
Management by clicking on Start / Control Panel / Performance
and Maintenance / then Power Options, and change the time
next to the “Turn off Monitor” option to the time you want. You

I’ve heard that cleaning and rearranging files on the hard drive
will improve program’s launch speed. How do I do this?
Good disk maintenances can improve program launch
speed. This normally includes deleting unnecessary files, and
defragmenting the hard disk so the files can be more efficiently
grouped. Windows contains maintenance based utilities for
these tasks; run Disk Cleanup to remove unnecessary files,
and Disk Defragmenter to defragment fragmented file blocks.
For more info on these utilities, please refer to your Windows
documentation or Windows help.

Why can’t I charge the battery of my notebook computer after it
is out of use for some time?
After your notebook computer has not been used for a long time
(for example: more than one month), the battery will enter into
low voltage protection mode. Under this circumstance, restoring
to normal voltage will require the battery to be slowly charged
for several hours. Once the battery has been fully charged, your
computer will resume to normal operation.
