working correctly. For example:
YWindows fails to start after displaying its starting message.
YWindows takes a long time to start.
YWindows departs from its normal routine.
YThe screen does not look right.
Unless a hardware device has failed, problems usually occur when you

program.
If you experience any of these problems, use the options in the Windows
Startup Menu.
