Learning the Basics
When You Turn the Computer On…
Part I: Getting To Know Your Computer
79
If you're really interested in what's going on, read “What Really
Happens When You Turn the Computer On?” on page 299. This
section describes the messages you see when you turn the com-
puter on. It also tells you how to get to work immediately without
waiting for all the messages to appear.
How to Start Where You Left Off
Often, you'll turn your computer off, intending to continue work-
ing later. When you're ready to start again, you turn the power on
and wait while the computer displays messages and loads
Windows 95. Then you have to reload your applications before
you can get back to work.
There's an easier way. By choosing Windows 95’s Suspend com-
mand that uses Toshiba's Resume Mode, you can turn your com-
puter off without exiting your software applications. When you
turn the computer on again, the screen display is restored as you
left it. So you can continue working where you left off.
These methods provide a sort of electronic bookmark. They use
the computer's backup battery to store its current state in memory
while the power is off. The system maintains this information until
the backup battery loses its charge (after approximately eight
hours).
As well as being convenient, using the Suspend command or
Resume Mode is energy efficient. Avoiding the startup procedure
extends the amount of work you can do before recharging your
battery.
Toshiba’s Resume Mode includes additional power saving fea-
tures. To conserve power by automatically shutting the system
down when you are not using it or by cutting off the power to the
display when you shut the cover, use the System Auto Off and
Panel Power On/Off options in Toshiba’s MaxTime utility. For
more information about options to save time and power, refer to
“Conserving Power” on page 130.
