 Operating System Problems

Once you are familiar with the desktop and used to the way the Windows operating system

works, problems with the O/S are easily detected.

Common Problems:

1. The operating system fails to start after the “Starting Windows XP” message

appears

2. The operating system takes a long time to start.

3. The operating system responds differently from the normal routine.

4. The screen does not look right.

*Note! Unless a hardware device has failed, problems usually occur when you change the

system in some way such as installing a new program.

Solution: If Windows fails to start properly, you may have to change your system’s

configuration or verify the startup procedure to correct the problem. Use the

options in the Startup menu to do this.

This section describes each option and when to use the procedure.

To open the Startup menu:

Restart your computer.
