176 If Something Goes Wrong
Develop good computing habits
❖Restart the Windows® operating system. Always restart the
Windows® operating system after each installation, even if the
installation utility does not prompt you to do so. This will
ensure that the installation is completed, and will clean up
anything that the installation utility left behind.
❖Do one installation at a time. If you have several new items to
add to your computer system, install just one at a time, creating
restore points immediately before each successive installation.
This will make it much easier to determine the origin of any
new problems. For best results, follow this sequence:
1Back up critical data.
2Create a restore point.
3Install one item of hardware or software.
4Restart the Windows® operating system.
5Use the new hardware or software for a while, noting any
new problems. Make sure that your critical applications
(email, business applications, etc.) are working correctly,
and verify that important devices are still functioning.
6For each additional hardware or software item, repeat
these steps, starting at step 1 if any of your critical data has
changed, or starting at step 2 if no critical data has
changed.
USB Sleep and Charge is not working.
❖Make sure that the device you want to charge is connected to a
port that supports the USB Sleep and Charge function. Ports
that support this feature are identified with the ( ) icon.
❖USB Sleep and Charge may be disabled. Open the TOSHIBA
Sleep and Charge Utility to check if the feature is disabled and
to enable it if necessary. For more information, see
“Enabling/Disabling USB Sleep and Charge” on page 146.
❖Try selecting a different charging mode in the TOSHIBA Sleep
and Charge Utility, if your computer provides more than one
charging mode. For more information, see “Power supply
mode settings” on page 146.
❖If you are attempting to charge a device without an AC adaptor
connected to the computer, the computer's battery power may
be below the limit specified in the TOSHIBA Sleep Utility or
the battery may be depleted. Lower the limit in the TOSHIBA
Sleep Utility to enable charging at the current battery power
level, or, if battery power is running low or is depleted, connect
the AC adaptor to your computer.
