Every time I start my laptop it boots to F10 Setup and will not boot to windows 98 unless I restart it again.
How do I get rid of this, and get my computer to boot right up with windows 98?
Please help.
Thank You

Hi

There must be a setting in your BIOS which you can change. I take it that F10 Setup takes you to the BIOS configuration pages. There must be a setting that tells the computer to boot to the BIOS screen, before loading the OS. Search through each page until you find this setting, then change it.

Good luck

It's possible that some of the devices on your laptop are not being picked up correctly, or are failing. Are you getting any messages about "Keyboard error. Press F10 to continue"?? Or "No IDE Device detected"?? If so there may be a more serious problem with your laptop.

In the BIOS, there is another option to HALT on errors. You can set it to No errors, Keyboard, or all. This might sort it for you.

Hope this helps,
Gary

I know it sounds simple, but make sure your F10 key isn't sticking. Being that this key doesn't do much else you might not know that is could be stuck down.
