two startup problems

i have xp home edition. while doing some video editing,
there was a serious crash, so i did a repair reinstall
using the reinstall disk. now when i boot up the
computer, the first screen that comes up gives me the
option of hitting F12 for a device startup, or hitting
delete, which then takes me to the log in page. that is my
first problem--how do i get rid of this annoying page
requiring me to choose between delete and F12.
second, once i do hit delete, i have to type my windows
password each time i boot up. before i did the windows
repair, the startup did not require a password, it was
taken care of automatically. how do i get around these
two issues?
 
Sandy, did you try using the "System Restore" before you
tried the re-install? That would give you an option of
restoring it to a time previous to your video editing. Not
an expert but I have had to used the restore a couple of
times and it saved my butt! You can find it several places
on your system , it may be one of your Icons in the Start
Menu. If not go to :
Start:
Programs:
Accesories:
System Tools:
System Restore:
pretty self explanatory once your there.
