Software

The problems may be caused by your software or

diskette.
If you cannot load a software package, the media

(usually a diskette) may be damaged or the

program might be corrupted. Try loading another

copy of the software.
If an error message appears while you are using

a software package, check the software

documentation. These documents usually include

a problem solving section or a summary of error

messages.
Next, check any error messages in the OS

documentation.

Hardware

If you cannot find a software problem, check your

hardware. First run through the items in the

preliminary checklist above. If you still cannot

correct the problem, try to identify the source. The

next section provides checklists for individual

components and peripherals.
