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

classify and store new data when you exit them normally. If

you reset the computer without properly exiting a program,

you may lose data.

Also do not remove a diskette or reset or turn off the

computer while a diskette drive light is on. You could lose

data. Be sure to remove all diskettes before you turn off the

computer.

To reset the computer, press

Ctrl Alt Del.

The screen displays

nothing for a moment and then the computer reloads your

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. If you do not have a hard disk, insert the

system diskette in drive A. Then turn on the computer.
