Troubleshooting in Windows 95
When I start Windows 95, the system locks up when the Windows logo
is displayed. How can I get the system to start so that I can verify that
the SCSI card is functioning normally?
1
Start or restart your computer. View the messages that appear
onscreen.
2
When the message
“Starting Windows 95”
appears, press and
release the
F8
function key while the text is on your screen.
3
From the menu that is displayed, select
Safe Mode.
(It may
take several minutes for Windows 95 to load.)
4
If the computer boots into safe mode, the core software is
functional.
How can I tell if the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro software driver is loading
properly?
1
Start or restart your computer. Allow the computer to perform
a normal startup.
2
Click the
Start
button, point to
Settings
, then click
Control
Panel
.
3
Double-click the
System
icon.
4
Click the
Device Manager
tab.
5
Double-click the
SCSI Controller
icon. The software driver for
the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro is listed as “Adaptec AHA 2940UW
Pro/AIC-788x PCI SCSI Controller.”
If the driver is listed, the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro driver is
loading properly.
