Troubleshooting Checklist
If you encounter a minor problem with the computer or software
applications, go through the following checklist for possible
solutions:
■
Is the computer connected to an external power source or does
it have a fully charged battery pack installed?
■
Is the computer turned on and is the power light on?
■
Are all cables connected properly and securely?
■
Did the diskette drive contain a nonbootable diskette when
you turned on the computer?
■
Have you installed all the necessary device drivers? For
example, if you are using a mouse, you may need to install a
mouse device driver.
■
Have you installed printer drivers for each application?
■
Did you exit properly from Windows before shutting off your
computer? Failure to exit properly can result in file corruption.
■
Have you scanned the computer for viruses?
