Resetting the System

You may need to reset the system after adding hardware or software so that your
computer will recognize the newly installed devices or software. When the message
appears after the installation, click OK, Yes, etc. to restart Windows 98.
You can also restart Windows 98 from the Start menu. Select Shut down; then,
Restart.

Warm Boot

If the system is locked up because of a software problem, you can reset or reboot the
system by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys simultaneously. Press the Ctrl+Alt+Del
keys again to restart the computer.
Resetting may cause data loss. Use the software reset only if the normal
Windows 98 Shut Down does not work because of software malfunction.
Although resetting will not damage the system, you may lose the data you
are processing.

Power Switch

You can turn off the computer with the power switch if you encounter hardware or
software problems which lock up the system. In this case, slide and hold the switch
for more than five seconds.

Reset Switch

If you cannot turn off the computer by sliding the power switch, you can use the reset
switch on the bottom of your computer. To reset the system, insert a narrow object
into the small hole to slide the switch as shown.
Do not use metallic materials to slide the reset switch. It may cause
malfunction.
