What happens	What to do
Application software problems	Make sure all cables are installed correctly.
	Verify that your system hardware configuration
	is set correctly. In Setup, check the values
	against the system settings you recorded
	previously. If an error is evident (for example,
	the wrong type of drive is specified), make the
	change in Setup and reboot the system. Record
	your change.
	Make sure the software is properly configured
	for the system. Refer to the software documen-
	tation for information.
	Try a different copy of the software to see if
	the problem is with the copy you are using.
	If other software runs correctly on the system,
	contact the vendor of the software that fails.
	If you check all of the above with no success,
	try clearing CMOS RAM and reconfiguring
	the system. Make sure you have your list of
	system settings available to re-enter, as clear-
	ing CMOS RAM sets the options to their
	default values.
