My system is running slowly
❑ The system response time varies, depending on the number of applications that are open and running.
Close any application that you are not currently using.
❑ Increasing the system memory may also help. The computer has two memory slots. For memory
upgrades, use only PC-2100 DDR SDRAM DIMM modules. For information on installing memory, please
see the section Adding memory (page 74).
❑ Another option is to defragment the hard drive. See the Windows
®
Help files for details or contact your
system administrator if you have one.
My computer locks up
❑ If you suspect an application is locking your system, you can try to stop it. To do this, press
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete> once. If you have not changed the default settings, you will enter the Task
Manager. Select the application that is locking your system, and then click End Task.
❑ If the above method does not work or you do not know which application is locking your system, restart
the computer. On the Windows
®
taskbar, click the Start button, click Turn Off Computer, and then
select Restart.
Alternatively, press <Alt>+<F4> to get to the Turn off computer screen.
