Then, you can easily return to that configuration if your computer becomes disabled by changes in the configuration files. If you are unable to solve a problem yourself, and you need assistance from an IBM technical support representative, use ConfigSafe to generate a report about ® recent changes in your configuration before you call the PC HelpCenter . The IBM technical support representative will be able to use the information in this report to help you solve the problem. Complete the following steps to access the ConfigSafe program. Click Start→Programs→ConfigSafe Clearing CMOS If you need to erase configuration information, you must power-off the computer and remove the battery.
