working on in those programs in working memory. Your
computer can access this working memory very quickly,
but it does not automatically keep the data in this area
when you turn your computer off. If you want to
continue working where you left off the next time you
turn on your computer, you must start your software
programs again and reopen your data files. Any
personal data you did not save to a file before you
turned your computer off is lost. (Saved files are not
lost.)
If you enable Rapid Resume before you turn off your
computer, Rapid Resume stores the program
information and unsaved personal data from the
working memory area to a special file on your hard disk.
(This is called suspending.) Then when you turn on your
computer again, Rapid Resume uses this special file to
restore your desktop. (This is called resuming.) Personal
data you did not save to file before you turned off your
computer is also restored.
To enable (turn on) or disable (turn off) the Rapid

monitor.

computer checks to determine whether you are using
your computer. For these instructions, see “Rapid
Resume advanced options” on page 40.

Resume saves the state of your desktop when

double-click on the
Rapid Resume icon in the Rapid
Resume Manager window. When the Rapid Resume
