How Rapid Resume saves
information
When you use Rapid Resume, the contents of memory
are saved in a special file on your hard disk every time
you turn off your computer. This is a hidden system file
called “_PS1SAVE.DAT”. With Rapid Resume enabled, it
is created each time you start your computer by
pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
The size of this file depends on how much memory is
installed on your computer. If you install additional
memory, the size of the file increases when you press
Ctrl + Alt + Delete to start your computer. (If you are
using OS/2 Warp, you will need to reboot (restart) your
computer in Microsoft Windows to create the new
“_PS1SAVE.DAT” file. You can then return to OS/2
Warp.) If your hard disk does not have enough space for
the _PS1SAVE.DAT file, Rapid Resume cannot be
enabled until you create enough space for this file.
If you choose not to use Rapid Resume, you can delete
the _PS1SAVE.DAT file to free some space on your hard
disk. For more information about Rapid Resume and
specific instructions on how to delete the
_PS1SAVE.DAT file, see section 2.4 of the README.TXT
file located in the PS1TOOLS directory of your computer.
System unit and
monitor are on, but
nothing is displayed
on the screen. This is a normal function of the
Standby feature. Press a key or
move the mouse to exit Standby.
