Chapter 3: Getting Started

Restarting (rebooting) your computer

If your computer does not respond to keyboard or mouse input, you may have to close

programs that are not responding. If closing unresponsive programs does not restore your

computer to normal operation, you may have to restart (reboot) your computer.

To close unresponsive programs and restart your computer:

1 Press CTRL+ALT+DEL. The Task Manager window opens.

2 Click the Applications tab, then click the program that is not responding.

3 Click End Task.

4 Click X in the top-right corner of the Windows Task Manager dialog box.

5 If your computer does not respond, turn it off, wait ten seconds, then turn it on again.

As a part of the regular startup process, a program to check the disk status runs

automatically. When the checks are finished, Windows starts.

Important

If your computer does not turn off, press and hold the power button

for about five seconds, then release it.
