You press Pause/Break to stop the screen, then write down the details. I hate those splash screens by the way. Show me the text, any time. With the text there, I can see that I forgot to plug in the power cable on one of the disk drives, as the system starts POSTing. You also get to see the "F2, F12" prompts at the bottom, that tell you the BIOS entry key and the popup boot menu keys. Paul |

I get distracted by shiny things way too easily. I also do a lot of remote assistance where I only have contact with the operating system. I use msinfo32.exe and dmidecode a lot to make permanent records of what my customer have. -T |
