Setup

[John]

Hi group,

I tried to boot into set up, hit delete etc, trying to uninstall a program
that stopped windows booting.

All that came up was the Bios setup.

What did I do wrong?

Could someone please show me step by step.

Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz, 512 memory. Windows home.

Thanks Aussie John

It was a Game called Robots that my children put on it.
After shutdown it would not boot into windows, so I thought I would go into
setup and add/remove, tried F8 on booting several times, then tried delelete
which brings you into bios setup. Tried window repair, no show again.
Ended up formatting my hard drive to fix the problem. Terrible hard way to
fix a crook program
Now I want to know what to do next time. Children will be children and I
will kill them next time )

Thanks again
