To help you find a solution quickly, most of the information in
this chapter is divided into three columns:
1. Symptom—describes the symptom or warning that
indicates a problem.
2. Problem—identifies one or more reasons why the
symptom occurred.
3. Solution—describes how you should try to fix
the problem.
If the listed solution does not fix your problem, try another
solution for the symptom or try the solution a second time.
If a problem persists and you can't resolve it, contact a
