User's Manual
The problems may be caused by your software or
disk. If you cannot load a software package, the
media may be damaged or the program might be
corrupted - in these instances try loading another
copy of the software if possible.
If an error message appears while you are using a
software package you should refer to the
documentation supplied with it as this will usually
include a problem solving section or a summary of
error messages.
Next, you should check any error messages
against the operating system documentation.
If you cannot find a software problem, you should
then check the setup and configuration of your
hardware. First run through the items in the
preliminary checklist as described previously then,
if you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify
the source - the next section provides checklists
for individual components and peripherals.
