That's the motherboard model number. Has there been an automatic update of your BIOS since installing the high speed.....could be a reason why you are seeing a new splash screen. > > It then opens Windows XP without allowing me to view the BIOS file. Look in the documentation for your unit to see what key(s) to press before Windows starts booting to enter the BIOS setup. It's usually a key like F2 or the Esc key or a combination of keys; some systems BIOS's can only be accessed with a setup disk. > In > addition, when I try to shut down in the normal manner it does not do > so but instead I am obliged to Log Off, Switch to different user and > then close.

Off the top of my head.....could be "Administrator rights" issue, check the "Users Accounts" in "Control Panel". Can't remember offhand if there is also an "Advanced Users Profiles Properties" in XP as there is in Vista......hmmmm, come to think of it, why is an XP question being asked in a Vista hardware newsgroup? <grin> > > dpower > > > "Rick Rogers" wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> Did you check that the port is enabled in the system BIOS? |
