Video
If you have fitted a new video controller card ensure that the
monitor cable is connected to the new card.
Check that you have removed the old video drivers/software from
your system before installing any software for the new video card.
If you have difficulty reading the screen, or some programs do not
seem to display correctly, try a different video resolution or colour
setting. Some application software may only work using a specific
colour setting or display resolution.
System BIOS
Check the system BIOS to ensure that it has not been disturbed from
the original settings. If the settings appear to have altered, there may
be a fault with the BIOS battery. See Appendix B, 'System
Motherboard' and Appendix C 'System BIOS and set-up'.
The system's disk drives
Refer also to the chapter on using the 'system drives'.
Floppy disk drives
If you have problems accessing a floppy disk, check that it is inserted
correctly, that it has been correctly formatted, that is not write-
protected, and that the permissions assigned by the BIOS allow the
intended access.
Some application software may not allow you to read or write to
floppy disks until it has finished all other tasks, or will only save
your files when you exit the program.
CD-ROM drives
If you have problems accessing a CD, check that you have allowed a
few seconds for the disk to spin up to full speed, that the disk is the
correct way up in the drive and that it is a data CD.
Remember that you cannot save data onto a compact disk with a
conventional CD-ROM drive and disk.
