Software
The problems may be caused by your software or diskette. If you cannot
load a software package, the media may be damaged or the program
might be corrupted. Try loading another copy of the software.
If an error message appears while you are using a software package,
check the software documentation. These documents usually include a
problem solving section or a summary of error messages.
Next, check any error messages in the OS documentation.
Hardware
If you cannot find a software problem, check your hard- ware. First run
through the items in the preliminary checklist above. If you still cannot
correct the problem, try to identify the source. The next section provides
checklists for individual components and peripherals.
