When you switch on your PG, the BIOS firmware performs a
self-test. If a serious fault occurs at the beginning of this self-test, a
series of acoustic signals (beeps) are sounded to enable you to
identify the fault. In some cases, an error message will be
displayed on the screen in addition to the acoustic signals.
The window that you are currently using or that is currently
selected. Windows always applies the next keystroke or command
you select to the next active window. If a window is active, its title
bar changes color to differentiate it from other windows. You can
activate another window by clicking on it with the mouse or by
selecting it via the application menu.
An application is a program which lies directly on the operating
system. The operator (user) is able to work with this program.
One application on your PG/PC is the STEP 5 Basic Package.
