Resetting the Computer
Occasionally, you may want to clear the computer’s memory
without turning it off. You can do this by resetting the
computer.
For example, if an error occurs and the computer does not
respond to your keyboard entries, you can reset it to reload
your operating system and try again. However, resetting erases
any data in memory that you have not saved; so reset only if
necessary.
Caution
Do not reset the computer to exit a program. Some programs
store data when you exit them. If you reset the computer
without properly exiting a program, you may lose the data.
To reset your computer, press Ctrl Alt Del and then follow the
instructions on the screen. You can also press the RESET button
located on the front of your computer. The screen displays
nothing for a moment and then the computer reloads the
operating system.
If resetting the computer does not correct the problem, you
probably need to turn it off and on again. Remove any
diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s). Turn off the computer
and wait 20 seconds. Then turn on the computer.
