If your computer came with a hard disk drive that you are no

longer using, be sure the cable leading from that drive to the

main system board and the hard disk drive power cable are

disconnected.

Software Problems

If you are having trouble with an application program, try the

following solutions:

1.

If the application program does not start, check that you are

following the correct procedure for starting the program, and

that it is installed correctly. If you have a hard disk and the

program is stored in a directory on that drive, make sure you
are logged onto or specifying the correct directory. If you

don’t have a hard disk, make sure you have inserted the

application program diskette in the top drive (usually

drive A).

2.

Your computer can run at either high speed (25 MHz) or

low speed (simulated 8 MHz). While almost all programs

work properly at the faster speed, some must run at the
slower speed. Check your software manual to see if this is

the case, and change the processor speed if necessary. See

“Changing the Processor Speed” in Chapter 4 for

instructions and for information on accommodating copy-

protected programs.
