If Something Goes Wrong
Resolving a hardware conflict
The display mode is set to Simultaneous and the external
display device does not work.
Make sure the external monitor is capable of displaying at
resolutions of 800 x 600 or higher. Devices that do not
support this resolution will only work on your computer
display.
Small bright dots appear on your TFT display when you
turn on your computer.
Your display contains an extremely large number of thin-film
transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using high-precision
technology. The small bright dots that appear on your display
are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT manufacturing
technology.
Disk drive problems
Problems with the hard disk or with a diskette drive usually
show up as an inability to access the disk or as sector errors.
Sometimes a disk problem may cause one or more files to
appear to have garbage in them. Typical disk problems are:
You are having trouble accessing a disk, or one or more
files appear to be missing.
Make sure you are identifying the drive by its correct name
(A: or C:).
Error-checking
Run Error-checking, which analyzes the directories, files and
file system on the disk and repairs any damage it finds.
To run Error-checking:
1
Click Start, then click My Computer.
2
Right-click the drive you want to check and click
Properties.
The drive's properties box appears.
