Resetting the Computer
Occasionally, you may have to clear the computer’s memory
without turning it off. You can do this by resetting the
computer.
For example, if an error occurs and the computer does not
respond to your keyboard entries, you can reset it to reload
your operating system and try again. However, resetting erases
any data in memory that you have not saved; so reset only if
necessary.
Caution
Do not reset the computer to exit a program. Some programs
classify and store new data when you exit them. If you reset
the computer without properly exiting a program, you may
lose data.
If you are using MS-DOS, you can press
Ctrl Alt Del
to reset the
system. If you are using another operating system, press
Ctrl Alt
Del;
then follow the instructions on your screen.
If resetting the computer does not correct the problem, you
probably need to turn it off and on again. Remove any
diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s). Turn off the computer
and wait 20 seconds; then turn on the computer.
