While your computer is configured just for you, problems you
encounter while working may not be unique. Eliminating the
typical problems described in these troubleshooting sections may
save you time and money. If you have a problem with your
computer, consider the problems and possible solutions in the
troubleshooting section. If the problem appears related to a
software application, also check the documentation provided with
the software. You may discover something you can resolve easily
by yourself. If the condition persists, contact your Compaq
authorized service provider or the Customer Support Center.
NOTE: You might also consider using Carbon Copy, a support tool
that allows a Compaq technical support engineer remote access to
your computer in order to help diagnose and fix specific software-
related problems under Windows 95.
