Before you contact Toshiba

Since some problems may be related to the operating system or the program you are using, it is important to investigate other sources of assistance first.

Try the following before you contact Toshiba:

❖Review the troubleshooting information in your operating system documentation.

❖If the problem occurs while you are running a program, consult the program’s documentation for troubleshooting suggestions. Contact the software company’s technical support group for their assistance.

❖Consult the dealer from whom you purchased your computer and/or program. Your dealer is your best source for current information.
