The computer 'forgets' its configuration
If the computer frequently forgets its configuration settings, or the clock consistently
loses time, it may be that you haven't used the computer for a long time and the
computer's internal CMOS RAM support battery may need recharging. Leave the
computer switched on for a couple of hours, then try again.
If this doesn't cure the problem, the computer's internal CMOS RAM support
battery may be faulty. Take the computer to your Acorn supplier, who will
investigate.
The self-test does not complete properly
If you do not see a message
similar
to the following when the self-test is performed:
RISC OS 1024k
Acorn ADFS
or if the self-test does not complete properly (the screen may stay after you switch on,
and the floppy drive indicator light may flash on and off a few times) then contact your
supplier. There may be a fault with the computer's hardware.
Note: The number (indicating memory size) in the above message depends on what
computer you have.
There are unexpected icons on an otherwise empty desktop
You might have dragged a file or application towards the icon bar, but accidentally let
go too soon. See
Pinboard
on page 49.
An application won't load
There may not be enough memory to load the application. Depending on how much
memory your computer has, you will need to remove one or more of the applications
that are already loaded into its memory. Move the pointer over an icon in the icon bar
and press Menu; click on Quit to remove the application from the computer's memory.
Now try loading the application you want to use. If there still isn't enough space,
remove another application you don't need.
