49 Troubleshooting tips This notebook computer incorporates an advanced design that delivers onscreen error message reports to help you solve problems. In addition, this series of notebook computers ship with PC-Doctor, a powerful diagnostic tool, that helps you determine hardware configuration and clarify hardware or software problems. • If the system reports an error message or an error symptom occurs, see "Error messages" on page 50. • If you suspect the system has a problem, run PC-Doctor to diagnose it. See the following section. Using PC-Doctor Before running the program, take note of the following actions you may need to take: 1 Disconnect any external devices (i.e., PC Cards, external mouse). 2 Open System Properties to check and make sure that the components you diagnose are enabled. To open the System Properties window: a Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel. b Double-click on System. c Click on the Device Manager tab. 3 Close all application programs (i.e., fax or communication programs) if you plan to diagnose the modem. To run PC-Doctor, simply double-click on the PC-Doctor icon located on the Windows desktop. You can also access PC-Doctor by following these steps: 1 Click on Start, Programs, PC-Doctor. 2 Click on the PC-Doctor program. If PC-Doctor does not report a system error, reinstall the software driver from the Recovery CD for the component you suspect has a problem.
