Hello,

I have a windows xp system [sp3] and it is working quite fine apart from one thing.

When I switch on the computer, the only way I can get to log in is if I keep F1 pressed down while switching it on, otherwise, the screen says 'BOOT FROM CD' and doesn't go any further.

Can anyone help me to bypass this screen automatically?

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.6

It sounds like you have changed the BIOS boot order to first boot from the CD drive. Google "BIOS boot order" to find instructions.

Good Luck
