Trobbl About Computer

"I can't move the mouse", or "the keyboard doesn't respond."
• Check the cable connections between mouse, keyboard and the computer. Are they in the right ports?
• Swap the mouse or keyboard temporarily with one that you know works on another machine. Does it work now?
• Try restarting with the cables connected correctly.
"I can't read a floppy/zip disk or CD"
1. Does your computer recognize the drive? (Usually A: for floppies)
2. Can you read ANY other floppy disks, or none?
3. Can it be read in another computer? Mac or PC?
4. What type of disk is it? Is it high density, low density, Mac or PC formatted?
5. Run a complete AntiVirus scan of the floppy disk.
6. Can you read anything off the disk, or is it just a problem with one file?
7. Copy the file(s) to the local hard drive, then try to open it.


"I can't print."
1. Are you connected to the network?
2. Are you printing to a local or network printer?
3. If it is a network printer, can anyone in the office print from any other computer to that printer?
4. Can you print to any other printer?
5. Try turning printer on and off. Check printer network cables, remove and put back in.
6. Is there a paper jam at the printer?
7. On a PC, go to Start > Settings > Printers. Is the printer you want listed? Is it shaded out? If you can open up the printer, check the printer queue. Has it stalled, or is a job stuck in it? Try deleting the print job.
8. On a Mac, go to chooser. Do you see all the printers listed on the right? Are you selecting the proper driver - Adobe or HP, etc.? Is your printer listed? Are other printers listed? Try setting it up again.
"My software application doesn't work."
1. When did it last work? Has this software been working recently, or is this the first time you've tried it?
2. Did you delete, or move any files?
3. If this is the first time you've tried it? Did you try to install it yourself? From disk, or over the network?
4. If installed over the network, did you receive any error messages during or after the installation?
5. Are you on the network?
6. On a Mac, try rebuilding the desktop (do this by restarting while holding down the option and apple clover key).
7. Reload the software.
"My computer keeps crashing in... (Word, Excel, etc.)."
1. Try opening different files in the program, not the same one each time. It may be a data problem, not the software.
2. Try shutting down and restarting the computer.
3. Reload the software.
Data or File Related Troubleshooting (Word, Excel, etc.)
1. Try opening file from hard disk first, not from a floppy disk/CD or memory stick.
2. Open file and save it with a different name. The original may be corrupted.
