Resetting the Computer
You can reset the computer to reload the operating system or to
restart a program. You may also need to do this if an error occurs
and the computer does not respond to anything you type.
Resetting, however, erases any data in the computer’s temporary
memory (RAM) that you have not stored; so be careful when
you reset your computer.
In MS-DOS, you can hold down Ctrl and press C or Break to
stop a program’s operation and return to the MS-DOS
command prompt. If an error occurs, try this method before you
reset the computer.
There are three ways to reset. Because each is more powerful
than the last, try them in the order listed here:
1. If you are using MS-DOS, hold down Ctrl and Alt and press
Del.
The screen goes blank for a moment and then the
computer reloads MS-DOS (MS-DOS must be either on
the hard disk or on a diskette in drive A.) If this does not
correct the problem, try the second method.
2.
Press the RESET button on the right side of the computer.
This method works even when the keyboard does not
respond to your commands. If this does not correct the
problem, try the third method.
3. Turn off any peripheral devices and then turn off the
LT-286e. Wait five seconds and then switch the power
back on.
