No problem at all. You need to keep pressing that button under the
coffee cup holder. Press it no less than seventeen times. If you're
compulsive obsessive, this is good practice.

After that, follow steps 2, 5, 10, 13, 14, 15, 19, 24, and most of the
rest of the steps in the Microsoft Anything Manual, which are all the
same thing: wait, wait, and wait some more. After that, you can take it
easy for a while, and then your computer will do everything you expect
it to do. (In other words, nothing much.)
