Computing tips
Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer's temporary memory until
you save it to the internal storage drive. If the network you are
using goes down and you must restart your computer to
reconnect, or your battery runs out of charge while you are
working, you will lose all work since you last saved.
Back up your files to external media on a regular basis. Label
the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place.
Scan all new files for viruses.
Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator light indicates
a drive is active.
®
HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that can be
activated. This feature saves your file to the internal storage drive at
preset intervals. See your software documentation for details.
®
The Windows operating system records information, such as your
desktop setup, during its shutdown procedure. If you do not let the
®
Windows operating system shut down normally, details such as
new icon positions may be lost.
