The Computer Locks Up

If the computer locks up, try the following:
1.
Some operations take longer than others to perform. For
example, a spreadsheet program takes a long time to
recalculate a spreadsheet and many program calculations
can take several minutes to complete. Wait a few minutes
to see if the computer returns to normal operations.
2. The computer may be in suspend mode. Press any key, or
press the Suspend/ Resume or power button (depending on
the type of suspend mode you are using) to resume
activity. See Chapter 3 for more information.
Note
If your battery power is low and your computer is in
Suspend to Disk mode, it may not have enough power
to boot your system when you press the power button to
resume. Connect the AC adapter or install a spare,
charged battery; then press the power button.
3. You may be able to resume activity by canceling the current
operation. If you are executing an MS-DOS command, try
pressing Ctrl C or Ctrl Break. In Windows, press Ctrl Alt Del
to reset the system.
Try pressing the Num Lock key. If the Num Lock icon does

not appear in the System Window, the computer is
probably locked up.
5. If the computer remains locked up after you've tried the
solutions listed above, reset it by pressing Ctrl Alt Del.
6. If resetting does not work, the keyboard is probably locked.
Turn off the computer, wait five seconds, and turn it back
on.
