If Something Goes Wrong
Windows 98 is not working
The computer starts but, when you press a key on the keyboard or
touch the AccuPoint, nothing happens.
You are probably in Resume Mode and have a software or
resource conflict. When this happens, turning the power on returns
you to the problem instead of restarting the system. To clear the
condition, press Ctrl, Alt and Del simultaneously, or press the Reset
button.
Clearing the condition may get you running by disabling Resume
Mode, but it won't solve a resource conflict. Read the documenta
tion that came with the conflicting device and "Resolving a
hardware conflict" on page 139.
The computer is not accessing the hard disk or the diskette drive.
Your computer normally loads Windows from the hard disk. If
you have a hard disk problem, you will not be able to start the
computer. Insert a system diskette into the diskette drive and press
the F character key while you turn on the power.
Windows 98 is not working
Once you are familiar with the desktop and used to the way
Windows 98 responds to your work routine, you can easily detect
if Windows 98 is not working correctly. For example:
♦ Windows 98 fails to start after the Starting Windows 98 message
appears.
♦ Windows 98 takes a long time to start.
♦ Windows 98 responds differently from the normal routine.
♦ the screen does not look right.
Unless a hardware device has failed, problems usually occur when
you change the system in some way such as installing a new pro
gram. If you experience any of these problems, use the start-up
options in the Windows 98 Start-up menu to fix the problem.
