When the System Does Not Respond Normally

To halt a system that is hung, or frozen, and unresponsive to commands:
1. If your system is on a network, wait a few minutes before proceeding.
Your system's slow response may be due to network problems or delays. Check with
the person in charge of your network. If the response is not due to the network, go
to the next step.
