The wrong disk drive whirs when you start up a program.
The disk drive that whirs when you turn on the power is drive 1. Stop the whirring disk drive
by pressing CONTROL-RESET then put your program disk in drive 1 and start again.
Problems With the Printer
Unintentional double or triple spacing.
Both your printer and your application program are generating line feeds after every carriage
return.
Turn off the automatic line feed switch on the printer (or change the application
program's line feed setting to OFF).
Lines are printing on top of each other.
Neither your printer nor your application program is generating line feeds after carriage
returns.
Turn on the automatic line feed switch on your printer.
Problems With the Modem
General garbage appears on the screen.
Your modem is sending or receiving information at a different speed or in a different format
from the modem on the other end of the phone line. Check the information supplied by the
information service to be sure you have supplied the correct settings for things like baud rate
and number of data bits, stop bits, parity bits.
Problems With the Monitor
Nothing appears on the screen when you turn on the power. (Drive 1 doesn't make a sound.)
The power cord isn't plugged into the wall, the power cord isn't plugged into the computer, or
the disk drive isn't connected to the computer.
Turn the power off, then make sure the power
cord is plugged into a power source and plugged into the computer, then try again. If that's
not the problem, make sure the disk drive is connected.
Nothing appears on the screen when you turn on the power (even though the disk light comes on
and you hear the usual amount of whirring from the disk drive).
The monitor isn't turned on, the monitor isn't plugged in, or the monitor contrast or
brightness isn't adjusted properly.
If that's not the problem, a card in slot 3 could be
interfering with your display. Turn on the monitor. Plug in the monitor. Adjust the monitor
contrast or brightness knob. If that's not the problem, and you've got a card in slot 3, turn
off the power, then try removing the card and starting up the program.
Letters appear small and blurry when you're using your television as a monitor.
The program you're using is designed for an 80-column display. TV's can display
