damaged or the program might be corrupted. Try loading
another copy of the software.

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
hardware. First run through the items in the preliminary
