When I turn on the computer after the Dell logo comes up
in the blue screen that has the "Press F2 to enter setup",
the computer goes directly into the BIOS setup screen
without me pressing the F2 button. I reinstalled Windows
once and it took care of the problem but I also had to
reinstall all the software. Before I have to do all that
again, I was wondering if anyone had this problem and what
was done to correct it.

Thanks
