Starting your computer.
Windows Vista and your computer are designed to exist in more modes than
“on” or “off.” If you have been gone for a while, you have unplugged your
computer, or you are using it for the first time, you will need to bring it to life
from its off mode. Windows Vista and your computer also have a “sleep” mode,
which stores your information on the hard disk in a low-energy state and
returns to full activity very quickly.
Start or wake up a computer:
Move the mouse button, or press a key to see whether the computer
is off or in sleep mode.
If nothing happens, turn on your computer, and wait for Windows
Vista to load.
Type your name, enter a password (if needed), and press Enter to log on.
How to get your computer going:
Using your keyboard and mouse.
Windows Vista lets you work the way you want. You can move around, choose
items, and do much of your work using only the mouse, only the keyboard, or
a combination of the two.
