2/6 APRICOT LS/VS340 OWNER’S HANDBOOK
To turn off the computer, simply press the P
OWER
button again.
The power indicator on the button goes out. If the monitor is
powered from the system unit, it will be turned off at the same time.
After you turn the computer off, wait at least 5 seconds before
turning it on again. The computer may not initialise itself properly
if you turn it off then on again in quick succession.
Backing-up the pre-installed software
Apricot computers with a hard disk normally arrive with an
operating system pre-installed. Additional software may be pre-
installed at the factory or by your Apricot supplier.
We recommend that you copy or
back up
any pre-installed software
soon after setting up the system. This is particularly important for
systems which are supplied without installation diskettes for the
software on the hard disk. A back up copy will safeguard the pre-
installed software against loss if the hard disk fails or if you
accidentally overwrite or delete files.
♦
A disk imaging utility is provided with Windows 95 and
Windows for Workgroups. This allows you to create
installation diskettes for the operating system, and some other
software, from disk images pre-installed on the hard disk. See
the utility’s on-line help for more information.
♦
To back up other pre-installed software (and your own files)
use the Backup tool in the System Tools folder (if you have
Windows 95) or Backup for Windows (if you have Windows
for Workgroups).
Any copy you make of pre-installed software must be used only as a
back-up copy, in case the pre-installed version is lost. You are
not
allowed to use installation diskettes created from disk images to
install the software onto another computer.
