Restarting your computer
If your computer does not respond to keyboard or mouse input, you may have
to close programs that are not responding. If closing unresponsive programs
does not restore your computer to normal operation, you may have to reset
the computer.
To close programs and restart your computer in Windows NT:
1 Press CTRL+ALT+DEL. A window opens that lets you close a program that
is not responding.
2 Click Task Manager, then select the program that is not responding.
3 Close the program by clicking End Task.
4 If the computer does not respond, turn off the computer power, wait ten
seconds and turn the power on again.
As a part of the regular startup process, a program to check the disk status
runs automatically. When the checks are finished, Windows starts.
Important If the computer does not turn off immediately, you may
need to hold the power button down for a few seconds to
turn the computer off.
Important For other operating systems, such as Windows 2000, refer
to the appropriate operating system software manual for
instructions.
