boot stops on F1 continue message
What could be causing XP to stop on this message every startup?
As soon as I click on F1, it resumes and finishes like normal. Thanks, dancer jenny

Thanks, dancer jenny Nothing whatsover to do with Windows as that message appears before Windows even begins loading. Suggest you RTFM that came with the computer or contact the computer manufacturer. -- Facon - the artificial bacon bits you get in Pizza Hut for sprinkling on salads.

boot stops on F1 continue message
Hi,
Your BIOS is doing that, you may have a dead CMOS battery, or it may be set to pause the boot. It has nothing to do with XP. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "dancer" wrote in message .. .

Try setting your BIOS to their defaults and see if it clears it up before
doing the battery, its quicker.  "Rick "Nutcase" Rogers" wrote in message ... Hi, Your BIOS is doing that, you may have a dead CMOS battery, or it may be set to pause the boot.

That is not advisable these days with SATA and PATA drives, etc. He might
