198 If Something Goes Wrong
The Windows® operating system is not working

The computer displays the WARNING RESUME FAILURE message.

The computer was placed in Stand By mode and the battery has
discharged. Data stored in the computer’s memory has been lost.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into a live wall
outlet for several hours. For more information, see “Power and
the batteries” on page 205.

The computer displays the Non-System disk or disk error message.

Make sure there is no diskette in the diskette drive. If there is one,
remove it and press any key to continue. If pressing any key does
not work, press Ctrl, Alt, and Del to restart the computer.
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 WindowsXP
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.
Unless a hardware device has failed, problems usually occur when
you change the system in some way such as installing a new
program or adding a device.
If you experience any of these problems, use the options in the
Startup menu to fix the problem.
