Guest jandespiller Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I cannot get the F8 key to agree to the EULA in order to reinstall Windows XP. I have the origiinal disks and the keyboard is working otherwise. Is there a way to go forward with the installation without the F* key agreement? Thanks

If you have one of those keyboards with the F-lock, you need to turn F-lock off first. If you don't have one of those keyboards or don't know how to turn F-lock off, attach a different plain vanilla keyboard. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

On most systems it is F3 key. hth jandespiller wrote: >I cannot get the F8 key to agree to the EULA in order to reinstall Windows >XP.
