To repair software problems, try these methods: ● Turn the computer off completely and then turn it on again. This is the easiest (and sometimes the best) way. ● Update the drivers (see Updating drivers on page 15). ● Use Microsoft System Restore (see Microsoft System Restore on page 15) - Restore your computer to a configuration that was in use before the software was installed. ● Reinstall the software program or hardware driver. (See Software program and hardware driver reinstallation on page 16) - Restores the software (if it came with the product) or hardware driver to factory defaults. ● System Recovery (see System Recovery on page 19) - Erase and reformat the hard disk drive, and then reinstall the operating system, programs, and drivers. This erases all data files you have created. 14 Chapter 3 Troubleshooting and maintenance ENWW
