Re: Stop on BOD when booting up

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi

thanks for the rplies and follow ups, my PC does boot when it is cold so I can change
the settings.

Sorry about the posty, that started as POST then was supposed to be boot, and I got caught somewhere in the middle.

I'll use spell check ythis time

regards

Daniel

Did he say he can't get to the desktop? I didn't see it.


Rereading his message, I see the word "posty." I didn't know what he
meant by that, so I ignored it originally. But perhaps he meant
something like "posting," in which case you're right, and my
suggestion can't help.

If that's the case, sorry Daniel.
