Finding Solutions Quickly

To help you find a solution quickly, most of the information in
this chapter is divided into three columns:
1. Symptom—describes the symptom or warning that indicates
a problem.
2. Problem—identifies one or more reasons why the
symptom occurred.
3. Solution—describes how you should try to fix the problem.
If the listed solution does not fix your problem, try another
solution for the symptom or try the solution a second time.
