I have xp pro with a intel board....whats the command to bring up the config screen at start up...for the life of me i can't remember...

[Hawkes]

You mean the BIOS?

[Arkanine]

yes thank you bios ...I am having a brain fart this evening

[Mathall]

I've not used an intel board in a long time, but it is either Delete or F2 on most of the systems I have dealth with.

[Reddawn]

or F10

[Farkas]

yeah most intel boards ive just used delete or what ever it tells me to use at the bottom of screen

[Ziprar]

Usually I hammer on esc, F1, F2 and delete.  One of those does it for me on most mobos.  Except HPs.  Damn you HP, damn you to HELL!

[Krogoth]

if the screen goes too fast for you to see which key to hit, once at the POST screen, hit Pause. It actually works!

[Farkas]

The pause button is left over from back in the days of thin clients and mainframes.  I am pretty sure it still works for various stuff in terminal emulators to.

Don't do it unless you have a beefy system, I recomend 3 gigs of ram a decent processor/video card.
