Turning Off Your Computer - HP Pavilion 8290 User Manual

Tips
When you aren't using them, return diskettes,
CDs, and DVDs to their protective cases.
Be careful not to spill liquids on the keyboard.
Keep magnetic material away from your
computer and disks.
Remove diskettes only after the indicator light
on the diskette drive goes off.
Turning Off Your
Computer
There is only one way to turn off your computer
correctly. To turn off the computer:
1
Exit all software programs. (To close
programs, click X in the upper-right corner
of each window.)
2
Click Start on the Windows 95 taskbar.
3
Click Shut Down (last item on the menu).
4
Click Yes.
5
Turn off your display.
Caution:
Pressing the computer's power button when
software is running could corrupt your files.
Note:
If your system is "frozen" and won't respond to
the mouse or keyboard, you can't use Shut Down. In this
case, reset the computer by pressing the power button.
Turning off your computer this way does not protect your
programs and files as well as Shut Down does. The next
time you turn on the computer, the hard disk may be
scanned for errors. (When you turn off the computer this
way, wait a few seconds before you turn it back on.)
