USB Guidelines You can...

 NOTE: Always use the safe removal procedure for your operating system when disconnecting the drive.

 You can connect or disconnect the drive while the computer is on.

 You can optimize drive performance by disconnecting other USB devices when using your Iomega® drive. The performance of all USB devices decreases as additional USB devices are connected.

 You can avoid some system lockups by waiting at least 30 seconds after connecting or disconnecting any USB device. Do not connect, disconnect, or use any other USB device during this time.

DO NOT...

 Do not connect or disconnect any USB device while the drive is transferring information. Data loss will result!

 Do not use USB extension cables with your CM drive. Data loss might result.

 Do not connect the drive to a hub; connect only to the computer.

1. Click My Computer and navigate to CM hard drive > CM_App folder. 2. Right click on ftfix.exe and choose Run as administrator.

Antivirus and internet security programs

AVG AVG may cause CM to run slow; slides may take a long time to load. This happens because AVG actively scans each file (slide, document, audio, movie, etc…) as it is opened, which delays its display in CM. To resolve this issue:

1. Open AVG. 2. Open Link Scanner and turn off the settings. 3. Open Resident Shield and turn off the settings.

Norton Norton deletes the CM Start menu (CM_Start.exe) off the CM drive. This happens when the new SONAR Norton component mistakenly identifies the startup menu as a security threat and removes it. To resolve this issue: 1. Restore the CM_Start.exe from Norton quarantine. 2. Make sure the box exclude from future scans is checked.

General Firewall notes

Which ports does TeamViewer use? By default TeamViewer uses only the outgoing port 80 (HTTP) - no firewall configuration is necessary. Alternatively you can open port 5938 (TCP) for outgoing connections.
