If Something Goes Wrong
The Windows
®
operating system is not working
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
The computer starts but, when you press a key, nothing
happens.
You are probably in Stand By mode and have a software or
resource conflict. When this happens, turning the power on
returns you to the problem instead of restarting the system.
To clear the condition, press the power button until it turns off
the computer.
Clearing the condition may get the computer running, but it
will not solve a resource conflict. Read the documentation
that came with the conflicting device and “Resolving a
hardware conflict” on page 213.
The computer displays the WARNING RESUME FAILURE
message.
The computer was placed in Stand By mode and the battery
has discharged. Data stored in the computer’s memory has
been lost. Press
Enter to continue booting.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into a live
wall outlet for several hours. For more information, see
“Power and the batteries” on page 218.
The computer displays the Non-System disk or disk error message.
Press any key. If this does not resolve then problem, press Ctrl,
Alt, and Del to restart the computer.
The Windows
®
operating system is not
working
Once you are familiar with the desktop and used to the way
the operating system responds to your work routine, you can
easily detect if the operating system is not working correctly.
For example:
❖ The operating system fails to start after the Starting
Windows XP
message appears.
❖ The operating system takes a long time to start.
