Recovering from a Locked Program

To close a program that has stopped responding, complete the following steps:

Ctrl+Alt+Delete

NOTE: Learn to save your work often. Work that has not been saved may be lost

when a program or the computer stops responding.

If the computer stops responding to mouse movement or pressing a key on the

keyboard has no effect, complete the following steps:

ScanDisk, a Microsoft Windows utility program, will automatically run. ScanDisk

will determine if the improper shutdown caused any errors on the hard drive.

Errors may occur if the Microsoft Windows operating system was not able to

properly close all files before the shutdown. If no errors are found, the restart

process will continue. If ScanDisk does detect errors, follow the instructions shown

to continue the restart process. Work that was not saved prior to the lockup may be

lost.
