Is a non bootable (non system) diskette in the floppy drive? If yes,  
remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl + Alt +  
Del to restart your computer.  
Q: Nothing appears on the screen.  
A: Your computer's power management function automatically blanks  
the screen to save power. Press any key to turn the display back on.  
If pressing a key does not work, try restarting your computer. If  
restarting your computer does not work, contact your dealer or the  
technical support center for assistance.  
Q: The printer does not work.  
A: Do the following:  
Make sure that the printer is connected to a power outlet and that  
it is turned on.
