[Teriel9]

Hi all,
When I start my computer I am not offered the opening dos screen with the
"hit delete to enter setup" dialog.
I have Win XP Home SP2, it does show the second screen with various
allocations shown.
Cna anyone please help.
It does show from a warm startup.
Thanks in advance

The screen is there, The Motherboard your system has is displaying a splash
screen over top of it! How to correct it is this!

1 Computer in the off mode
2 Press the POWER BUTTON
THEN
3 Start PRESSING THE (DEL) KEY
**DO NOT WAIT TO SEE ANYTHING ON THE SCREEN**
**JUST START PRESSING THE DEL KEY AFTER PRESSING THE POWER**

4 TAP IT FAST AND KEEP TAPPING IT UNTIL YOU GET THE BIOS SCREEN
5 Some motherboards will first ask you what device do you want to boot to
before you get into the bios

IF you asked the above question> Just Press the one for your Hard Drive
*THEN Start Pressing the (DEL KEY) Again!!!

This should take you to the BOIS SETUP SCREEN

Once in the bios> FIND THE BIOS SPLASH SCREEN SETTING

EXAMPLE: On ASUS Motherboards its called (FULL SCREEN LOGO)

this must be set for disabled if you want to see all info during boot up!

And by the way this is not a Dos Screen- its a bios screen your seeing

NOTE: all motherboard companys call this something diffrent and and they
offten change the name from year to year.

Its so you see the product name from time to time!

once you change the setting you should see the hit DEL to run setup
everytime you boot.

Note this is also a safty screen if a child sees Hit DEL to run setup and
they press it. they may emd up in the bios and mess up your computer.

hope this info helps!
