Hello,

The 3 keys are marked on the keyboard
Alt, Ctrl, Del (or Delete on a French keyboard)
You first press Alt then Ctrl then Del while keeping your fingers pressed down

Best regards

Thank you for your help, that's nice.
I think I must have a problem with the hard drive.
Upon restarting, it keeps showing me this:
A Disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
What does it mean:
A Disk read error occurred
Thanks again

Re,

it means that it detects a reading problem on your hard drive, particularly in the boot zone. Generally, this type of error leads to formatting and reinstalling the system. But maybe others have different ideas.
Sorry, but it seems serious to me.

Best regards

Thank you for this information.
I will have to buy a hard drive, hoping I won’t encounter any issues with the reinstallation, because I don’t have the Vista software; it's a backup that I made from the system (C drive) on 3 DVDs since the Vista software is no longer provided with the purchase.
Thank you again.

Best regards.

Re,
Maybe there's no need to buy right away. First, you should try reinstalling from the installation CD. The faulty tracks will be ignored by the system.

Bonjour à tous, pour votre problème, il faut faire Ctrl + Alt + Suppr + F9. Appuyez sur les quatre touches en même temps pendant un petit moment et ça fonctionne.

Hello  your hard drive is completely dead, there's nothing to be done except replace the hard drive with a new one and reinstall the entire operating system.
