The sound quality is not very good, or it is unusual, or the system doesn't produce any sound at all.

1 • Turn the volume up, using the knob on your keyboard.

2 • In Windows Me, double click the Volume icon (on the taskbar, close to the clock) to verify that the volume is active, and that the mute control has not been activated, or use the knob on your keyboard.

The system is halted.

If the system halts or stops, you can activate it again depressing the Ctrl+Alt+Canc keys at the same time. Follow the instructions displayed.

If the system doesn't start:

1 • Press your computer power switch, to switch your computer off. 2 • Press the power switch again, to switch your computer on again.

Note: When rebooting your computer, unsaved data will be lost, and your Windows operating system ScanDisk procedure may start.

The floppy disk drive cannot read the floppy disk.

1 • Extract the floppy disk from the floppy disk drive, insert it back into the drive, and try again.

2 • Check that the disk has been properly formatted. When you format a floppy disk, all data on your floppy disk will be lost.

3 • Try to use a different, well preserved floppy disk. If the drive now works, the first floppy disk may be damaged.

Note: Your system uses special diagnostic programs to detect your computer malfunctions.

In case of malfunctions, certain error messages are usually displayed on the screen: you should write them down to be able to let the Technical Support people know about your problem, so that they can help you to understand and solve it.
