Paul, Thank you so much for the info you gave. Im sorry
to say that nothing worked. I went to all of the sites you

not very computer smart but know I can follow directions.
I do not know where to find BIOS nor do I know what its
for, it wasn;t in the device manager or maybe I missed it.
Thanks for your help and consideration.


OK this is a older post. Don't know if you fixed it in the
meantime.

The "BIOS" has nothing to do with the Operating System you
use, at boot-time you will see a few messages (LONG BEFORE
ANY OS IS LOADED) Somewhere on the screen you'll see a
message press key "some-such" (F2 "delete" whatever) to
enter setup, (or something like it).

If you do so, you will be able to get into the BIOS and make
changes there. Normally one gets a manual (printed or on
CD-ROM) with the options one can set in the BIOS "BASIC
INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM".
