Starting Again Where You Left Off

To turn your computer off and on again without all the time it nor-
mally takes to start your computer up again, Windows 95's Sus-
pend command and Toshiba's Resume Mode are for you. These
modes provide a sort of electronic bookmark, storing the current
state of the computer, including all your open files and programs,
in memory until you turn the computer on again.
Suspending the computer uses power supplied by the backup bat-
tery to store this information. If the backup battery ever discharges
completely, your information is lost. What this means to you is
that, although suspending will store your open files, you should
still save all your work before you turn the computer off.
There are four ways to suspend the computer:
Click the Start button, then click Suspend.
Use a special key combination (hotkey) to turn on Resume
Mode from the keyboard, then turn the computer off by press-
ing the power button.
Use MaxTime to turn on Resume Mode in Windows 95.
Use TSETUP to turn on Resume Mode in MS-DOS. TSETUP
is described in "TSETUP" on page 341.
The Windows 95 Suspend feature is the easiest way to suspend the
computer, however, if you want to use the Panel Power On/Off
and System Auto Off options, you must suspend the computer
using Toshiba's Resume Mode. These options are described in
"MaxTime" on page 311.
