The Windows® operating system is not working
Once you are familiar with the desktop and used to the way
the operating system responds to your work routine, you can
easily detect if the operating system is not working correctly.
For example:
❖The operating system fails to start after the Starting
Windows XP message appears.
❖The operating system takes a long time to start.
❖The operating system responds differently from the
normal routine.
❖The screen does not look right.
