Resetting the Computer

You can reset the computer to load a different operating system or to

reload the current operating system. For example, if an error occurs and the

computer does not respond to your keyboard commands, you can reset the

computer and try the same operation again. However, resetting erases all
data in the computer’s temporary memory (RAM), so reset your computer

only as a last resort.

In MS-DOS, you can hold down

Ctrl

and press

C

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.

WARNING: Do not reset the computer to exit a program unless

you have to. Some application programs classify and

store new data whenever you exit the program prop-
erly. If you reset the computer while such a program

is running, you may lose data.
