Finding information with Access IBM

The blue Access IBM button can help you in many situations when your
computer is working normally; and even when it is not. At your desktop,
press the Access IBM button to open Access IBM. Access IBM is your
on-board computer help center that brings you informative illustrations and
easy-to-follow instructions for getting started and staying productive. You can
also use the Access IBM button to interrupt the startup sequence of your
computer and start the Access IBM Predesktop Area. If Windows does not
start correctly, press the Access IBM button during the startup sequence of
your computer and start the Access IBM Predesktop Area. Use this area to run
diagnostics, restore your backups (assuming you have made backups using
IBM Rapid Restore PC), restore to factory contents (i.e., what was there when
you received your computer), start a utility that enables you to change your
startup sequence, and get essential system information, and start the IBM
BIOS Setup Utility where you can check and change BIOS settings. Press the
Access IBM button to open the application that brings all of IBM's resources
to you. On the next page, you will see the Welcome page of Access IBM that
