2.Verify the symptoms. Try to re-create the failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating the operation.

To create the PC-Doctor diagnostic CD, follow the instructions on the Web site.

For some possible configurations of the computer, PC-Doctor might not run correctly. To avoid this problem, you need to initialize the computer setup by use of the ThinkPad Setup program before you run PC-Doctor.

To enter the ThinkPad Setup program, do as follows:

1.Turn on the computer.

2.When the ThinkPad logo comes up, immediately press F1 to enter the ThinkPad Setup program.

You can start the utility by pressing Enter instead of entering the supervisor password; however, you cannot change the parameters that are protected by the supervisor password.

On the ThinkPad Setup program screen, press F9, Enter, F10, and then Enter.
