143 If Something Goes Wrong Develop good computing habits ❖ Do not guess - follow directions carefully! It is often necessary to run an installation utility first - before connecting a new hardware item to the computer. If the device is connected first, it may be very difficult to complete the installation successfully. Always carefully follow the installation instructions that accompany the hardware or software. ❖ Restart the Windows® operating system. Always restart the Windows® operating system after each installation, even if the installation utility does not prompt you to do so. This will ensure that the installation is completed, and will clean up anything that the installation utility left behind. ❖ Do one installation at a time. If you have several new items to add to your computer system, install just one at a time, creating restore points immediately before each successive installation. This will make it much easier to determine the origin of any new problems. For best results, follow this sequence: 1 Back up critical data. 2 Create a restore point. 3 Install one item of hardware or software. 4 Restart the Windows® operating system. 5 Use the new hardware or software for a while, noting any new problems. Make sure that your critical applications (email, business applications, etc.) are working correctly, and verify that important devices are still functioning. 6 For each additional hardware or software item, repeat these steps, starting at step 1 if any of your critical data has changed, or starting at step 2 if no critical data has changed.

necessary to run an installation utility first
-
before
connecting a new hardware item to the computer. If the
device is connected first, it may be very difficult to
complete the installation successfully. Always carefully
follow the installation instructions that accompany the

even if the installation utility does not prompt you to do

and will clean up anything that the installation utility left

❖
Do one installation at a time. If you have several new
items to add to your computer system, install just one at

Install one item of hardware or software.

5
Use the new hardware or software for a while, noting
any new problems. Make sure that your critical
applications (email, business applications, etc.) are
working correctly, and verify that important devices
are still functioning.

For each additional hardware or software item,
repeat these steps, starting at step 1 if any of your
critical data has changed, or starting at step 2 if no
critical data has changed.
