Applicable to: United States

If your computer is running very slow, you may want to make sure that the cache is enabled. Enter the configuration utility by pressing the [F1] key on the keyboard just after the computer is turned on, and you see a box in the upper left hand corner.

4. Hit escape to exit.
5. Hit escape again to exit.
6. Hit escape one more time to exit.
7. An exit setup utility screen should appear and "Yes, exit the setup utility" should be highlighted. Hit enter.
