Resetting The System - Sharp PC-AR50 Manual

Resetting the System

You may need to reset the system after adding hardware or software so that your
computer recognizes newly installed devices or software. When the message
appears after the installation, click OK, Yes, etc., to restart Windows Me.
You can also restart Windows Me from the Start menu. Select Shut Down, then
Restart.
Warm Boot (Software Reset)
If the system is locked up because of a software problem, you can reset or reboot the
system by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys simultaneously. Press the Ctrl+Alt+Del
keys again to restart the computer.
Resetting may cause data loss. Use the software reset only if the
normal Windows Me Shut Down does not work because of software
malfunction. Although resetting does not damage the system, you may
lose the data you are processing.
Power Button
You can turn off the computer with the power button if the system has hardware or
software problems so that you can't use the Windows Shut Down command or the
software reset. In this case, you need to hold the power button down for more than
four seconds.
Reset Switch
If all other methods fail, you can reset the computer by pressing the hardware reset
switch. The hardware reset switch is in a recessed location on the base of the
computer. Activate the switch with a straightened paper clip or similar implement.
