removing start-up options.
My PC has started displaying the start-up options every time I boot up.
It is the same options page I get if I press F8 during boot up - normal mode, safe mode, safe mode command prompt etc. Is there an easy way to turn this off and why might it have started to happen ? TIA |

Howdy
I'm guessing your running some version of Windows (let us know which one, please) and it's corrupted somewhere along the lines... Have you run scandisk lately?... Run a virus scan?... Does it boot into normal mode?... Have you added/deleted/changed any hardware or software right before this started to happen?... Too many questions?... hehe... Good luck and let us know |

Open a DOS window and type in
CD.. < Enter > this will take you to C:\ ATTRIB -H-R-S MSDOS.SYS EDIT MSDOS.SYS You will find an entry BOOTMENU=1 change it to 0, save and exit.

Try start/run/msconfig/advanced button and make sure "enable start menu" is not checked.

Thanks for the advice - I'll try them all !
It's Win98SE - ran Scandisk and Defrag (no probs) and it's loaded with bang up-to-date Norton AV. |
