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 the program is stored in a

directory on the hard disk drive, make sure you are

working in or specifying the correct directory. If you are

using a program on a diskette, make sure you have inserted

the correct diskette in the drive.

2. Your computer can run at either High speed (33 MHz) or

Low speed (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 CPU speed if necessary. See “Changing the

CPU Speed” in Chapter 3 for instructions.

3. If you have entered an MS-DOS command that you want to

stop, there are special key commands you can use to tell

MS-DOS to stop what it is doing. These methods may also

work in your application programs:

Hold down and press

Hold down and press

4. An application program can occasionally lock up the

computer making it unresponsive to the keyboard. If

your computer does not respond when you type on the

keyboard, you can reset it. Press

to reset the computer.

5. If resetting the computer doesn’t help, turn off your system,

wait five seconds, and then turn it back on. Then you can

restart your application program.
