Once the notebook arrived, I never thought I needed to do anything to it and just passed the notebook the the senior management staff.一旦抵达笔记本电脑，我从来没有想过我需要做什么，并刚刚通过笔记本电脑的高级管理人员。

A few weeks later, I was requested by the senior management staff to assist in transfering Microsoft Outlook emails and data from the old notebook to the new X300 ThinkPad with Windows Vista Business installed.几周后，我所要求的高级管理人员，以协助转移Microsoft Outlook中的电子邮件和数据从旧笔记本电脑的新的ThinkPad X300与Windows Vista企业安装。 During this time, I had to activate the wireless connection on the X300 in order to connect to the Internet.在这段时间里，我不得不启用无线连接的X300 ，以连接到Internet 。 Upon successfully setting up the wireless connection, I managed to connect to the Internet for a few minutes before the whole machine just freezed.经成功地建立了无线连接，我连接到互联网了几分钟前整个机器仅冻结。 Moving the mouse didn’t work.移动鼠标没有奏效。 Pressing Ctrl + Alt+ Del didn’t work as well.再按下Ctrl + Alt + Del键没有工作。 In the end, it just hang and freezed and all I could do was hard reboot by holding on to the Power On button for a long time.最后，它只是挂，并冻结所有我所能做的就是努力重新举行以电源按钮，很长一段时间。
