Guest Alex Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 When starting Windows XP Home, the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" comes up every time...as if the F8 key is stuck. It is not. I just want to "Start Windows Normally" ...not in "Safe Mode"....However, when I click on "Start Normally"..the system will not budge. So, I go to the "Start from the last known good configuration" and the system starts up and all is fine. Next time I restart the system , the "Menu" comes up again...every time. How can I get rid of this 'detour' to the "Advanced Options Menu' every time? many THANKS! Alex

Guest Alex Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: Windows Advanced Options Menu Upon Startup Thanks Kelly! Sorry for the delay in responding...I was out of town and away from the system in question. You got me into the right area...it actually ....under the "general' tab ...was doing a 'selective' boot, instead of a normal boot.
