Testing your computer
If you have a problem with your computer, you can test it by using
PC-Doctor.
To run PC-Doctor, do as follows:
1. Click Start.
2. Move the cursor to Programs and then to PC-Doctor for
Windows.
3. Click PC-Doctor for Windows.
4. Choose either the Quick Test or the standard test.
Attention
Running the Quick Test set can take 10 minutes or longer. Make
sure you have time to run the entire test; do not interrupt the test
while it is running.
The Quick Test set runs many test of critical hardware components,
but it does not run all PC-Doctor diagnostic tests. If PC-Doctor
reports that all tests have been run and that it found no problems,
consider running additional tests in PC-Doctor.
If you are preparing to contact IBM for support, be sure to print the
test log so that you can rapidly provide information to the help
technician.

If your computer does not work properly after you add applications or
devices, you need to restore the previous configuration.
Use ConfigSafe to save the configuration before you make changes.
Then if something goes wrong, Use ConfigSafe to restore the system
registry and configuration files.
