If Something Goes Wrong

This chapter provides you with hints and tips if your computer does not
perform as it should. It also provides the resources you need if the
problem is more serious.

Some problems you may encounter when using the computer are
relatively easy to identify and solve. Others may require help from your
network administrator, the manufacturer of a software program, or
Toshiba.

This chapter aims to help you solve many problems yourself. It covers the
problems you are most likely to encounter.

Look at the section headings in this chapter, then go to the section
covering the problem. Each section describes a problem and provides a
solution. Read the section and see if it describes your problem. If so,
follow the steps for solving it.

If all else fails, contact Toshiba. See If you need further assistance.

Problem-solving tips

To make your time at the computer more productive and problem-free,
read the following sections.

Read the manuals

It is very difficult to provide a fail-safe set of steps you can follow every
time you experience a problem with the computer. Your ability to solve
problems will improve as you learn about how the computer and its
software work together.

Get familiar with all the manuals provided with the computer, as well as
the manuals that come with the programs and devices you use.

Your computer store or book store sells a variety of self-help books that
you can use to supplement the information in the manuals supplied with
the computer.

Defend yourself against viruses

Viruses, while a potential problem, need not have a devastating effect
on the computer. By taking a few, simple precautions, you can avoid
infection. By making sure you have a complete backup of all your
programs and data files, you can ensure a speedy recovery if you do run
into problems.
