Troubleshooting

Record your observations so you can describe them to your dealer.

Software	The problems may be caused by your software. If
	you cannot load a software package, the media
	may be damaged or the program might be
	corrupted. Try loading another copy of the
	software.
	If an error message appears while you are using
	a software package, check the software
	documentation. These documents usually include
	a problem solving section or a summary of error
	messages.
	Next, check any error messages in the OS
	documentation.
Hardware	If you cannot find a software problem, check your
	hardware. First run through the items in the
	preliminary checklist above. If you still cannot
	correct the problem, try to identify the source. The
	next section provides checklists for individual
	components and peripherals.
