using the following information to solve the problem. If the problem
cannot be solved in this way, you can find additional information in the
advanced service handbook (on the device drivers and utilities CD-

and then restart it. You will lose all unsaved data, but the system may
work properly again. Subsequently contact your dealer or customer
