	Troubleshooting
Software	The problems may be caused by your software or
	disc. 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 operating
	system 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.
