information supplied with the software to verify memory requirements. (If you just installed an adapter
or memory, you might have a memory-address conflict.)
– The software is designed to operate on your computer.
– Other software works on your computer.
– The software you are using works correctly on another computer.
• If you received any error messages while using the software program, see the printed documentation
supplied with the software or the help system for that software for a description of the messages and
solutions to the problem.
• Check with your software manufacturer to see if any updates are available. Many software manufacturers
make updates available from the World Wide Web.
• If the software program used to work correctly, but does not work correctly now, click Start ➙ Control
Panel ➙ System and Security ➙ System ➙ System Protection ➙ System Restore .

reinstall it.
If these actions do not correct the problem, you might need technical assistance. Contact your software
manufacturer or see “Additional information resources” on page 34 for details.
