Resetting the Computer
If necessary, you can reset the computer without turning it off
by pressing a combination of keys. This clears the computer’s
RAM and restores any default configuration settings. For
example, if an error occurs and the computer does not respond
to your keyboard entries, you can reset it to reload the
operating system and try again.
To reset the computer, the operating system must be either on
the hard disk or on a diskette in drive A. If you are using
MS-DOS, hold down
and
and press
The
screen goes blank for a moment and then the computer reloads
MS-DOS.
Caution
Resetting the computer erases any data in memory you have
not saved, so do not use the reset function unless necessary.
Also, some programs classify and store new data only when
you exit them properly; so do not reset the computer before
you exit a program, if possible.
If resetting the computer does not correct the problem, you
probably need to turn it off and back on again.
