Re: Splash screen is Acer not Windows

What does the Acer splash screen look like? Is there anything on it besides the Acer logo?
If you do an F8 safe mode boot does the Acer screen come up or after you select safe mode?
If the Acer screen is before the F8 screen then it is being displayed by the BIOS since it is before Windows has started the boot process.
If it is after the F8 screen then it is part of the ACER version of Windows that they have installed on your system.
If the BIOS is displaying it I have no idea if it can be turned off in the BIOS you would have to check all of your BIOS options.

thanks for the reply,

When it boots up, the Acer splash comes up preceeded by a brief flash like
a safe mode setup, can not see what it says it happens very quickly, then the
windows logo comes up then the desktop.
Do you have to change bios settings , if so how?

I don't have your original post so am not sure of your exact problem.
When you boot the first screen that displays it is the BIOS boot screen
provided by the MOBO manufacturer since no operating system has been loaded
yet then after Windows boots the Windows splash screen displays.
Are you saying that the Windows log in or desktop displays after the boot
completes without you seeing any Windows display screen first?
