To make sure the computer operates properly for everyone using this
classroom, please follow the guidelines below:
- If the image from the computer’s display is not projecting properly on the
screen, make sure the resolution is set to 832x624 at 75Hz. If
the Control Strip on the desktop is not expanded, click the Control
Strip icon to open it along the bottom of the screen. Click the
Monitor icon in the Control Strip. Select 832x624,
75Hz from the list.
- The computer has a Zip disk drive, not a floppy disk drive. (Zip disks hold
100-200 times more data than a floppy disk.) If possible, you should store the
files you need for your class on a Zip disk. Then each time you use this
classroom, or another SMART classroom, you can bring the Zip disk with you. If
you have questions about using Zip disks, please contact your department’s
computing support office.
- If you need to install an application or data file on the computer, you
should do so in the hard drive partition named "Class Files." This is the
section of the computer that does not change during the term, unless absolutely
necessary. If there is a problem with the computer, we will try to correct it
by reinstalling the software on the "Macintosh HD" partition. (If your files
are in the "Class Files" partition, you will not lose your data when the
reinstall is done.) If the problem is severe, we may need to reformat the
entire drive. In this case, everything you have installed on the computer will
be lost. Please use a Zip disk for storing the files you will need repeatedly
on this computer. Your department’s computing support
office can help you with this.
- If the computer is frozen, press the [Restart] button.
(The picture on this button is a triangle.) It is located on the front of the
computer, below the power light.
- At the end of your class, turn off the computer and take your Zip disk with
you.
- If you experience problems with this computer that you cannot resolve, call
646-1155.
