Chapter 6

If Something Goes Wrong
Some problems you may encounter when using your computer are
relatively easy to identify and solve. Others may require help from
your network administrator or the manufacturer of the software
application.
This chapter aims to help you solve many problems by yourself. It
covers the problems you are most likely to encounter.
If all else fails, contact Toshiba. You will find information on
Toshiba’s support services at the end of this chapter.

Problems that are easy to fix

Your application stops responding.
If you are working with an application that suddenly freezes all
operations, chances are the application has stopped responding.
You can exit the failed application without shutting down the
operating system or closing other applications.
To close an application that has stopped responding:
1Press Ctrl, Alt, and Del simultaneously (once).
The Windows® Security Menu appears.
2Click the Task Ma nag er tab.
If an application has stopped responding, the words “not
responding” appear beside its name in the list.
