- TIPS
-
- * If you have Windows 3.1, then you have the MSD program. The MSD
- program also comes with Windows 3.1. When you install Windows 3.1,
- the setup program places MSD.EXE in your Windows directory. Just go
- to the system prompt and run the program.
-
- * If you don't have Windows 3.1 or DOS 6, you can obtain a shareware
- program that is very similar to MSD. This shareware program is called
- ASQ. It will analyze your computer system and save the results as a text
- file.
-
- * If the battery in your computer goes dead, you will lose your computer's
- CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) SETUP
- information. This is generally refered to as SETUP information.
- Sometimes computers lose the SETUP for unknown reasons. Then your
- hard drive will not work until you get this SETUP information back.
- Save the MSD information as a text file on a diskette. See the
- previous section for information on how to accomplish this task. Label
- the disk and keep it in a safe place. It contains a lot of the SETUP
- information and could really save the day.
-
- WARNING: Do not change the information in your CMOS SETUP
- unless you know exactly what you are doing. Be careful if you go into
- CMOS SETUP on your computer. Exit the program without making
- changes. Changing the information could result in your computer's hard
- drive not working. If you do go into it, take the time to write down all
- the information so you will be able to restore it in an emergency.
- Running SETUP is best left to an experienced computer person. If you
- lost your SETUP and don't have the information, don't panic! Computer
- dealers are quite familiar with this problem, and most will know how to
- fix it.
