The Computer Locks Up If you're working on your computer and it locks up and does not respond to the keyboard, try the following: 1. Wait a few seconds. Remember that some operations take longer to perform than others, and your computer may still be performing some internal fuction. For example, a spreadsheet program takes quite a bit longer to recalculate an entire spreadsheet than to record one figure. Also, BASIC programs that have a lot of calculations to perform can take several minutes, or even hours to complete a task. Be aware of the task the computer is performing and judge the time accordingly. 2. If the computer remains locked up after you've allowed a reasonable amount of time, follow the steps in Chapter 2 under "Resetting the Computer." 6-4 Troubleshooting

The Computer Locks Up
If you’re working on your computer and it locks up
and does not respond to the keyboard, try the
following:
1. Wait a few seconds. Remember that some
operations take longer to perform than others,
and your computer may still be performing some
internal fuction. For example, a spreadsheet
program takes quite a bit longer to recalculate an
entire spreadsheet than to record one figure. Also,
BASIC programs that have a lot of calculations to
perform can take several minutes, or even hours to
complete a task. Be aware of the task the computer
is performing and judge the time accordingly.
2. If the computer remains locked up after you’ve
allowed a reasonable amount of time, follow the
steps in Chapter 2 under “Resetting the
Computer.”
