Guidelines for Installing Applications
Installing Applications Using the
Floppy Drive Option
If you have the optional floppy drive unit attached to your TravelMate 2000, you can use it to install any
application programs available on 3.5-inch floppies. Review the following special installation
considerations and install the program according to the instructions furnished with the program.
If the program is not available on 3.5-inch floppies, you can use the furnished LapLink program, using the
procedures described under "Installing Applications Without the Floppy Drive Option' earlier in this chapter.
Installation Considerations
The following configuration items will influence how you install application programs into your TravelMate
2000 (or any computer).

lower resolution displays. When installing an application program, select the highest-resolution monitor
configuration for the program and the TravelMate 2000 that both can support.
Keyboard
The TravelMate 2000 keyboard emulates all functions of an IBM AT - 101 enhanced keyboard. When
installing an application program, select the IBM 101 or AT -enhanced keyboard configuration.
