WIN XP & BIOS Boot Problem
Mrs Fairing's PC will not boot Win XP. We haven't loaded any new hardware or software for several months. Indeed the only thing we did in the interim was go away for three days! We get the splash screen and the progress bars but it shuts down after about 15 secs. I have been able to run Win in safe mode with the command prompt. I have tried to change the BIOS to boot from a CD but although I can navigate across the BIOS tabs I cannot access the sub menus with the enter key so I can't change the boot order. I have tried running the repair routine from the Win CD but it hangs with the response that some software installation is incomplete but there is no clue to the offending application. I managed to run a virus scan in safe mode but it didn't flag any issues. Any bright ideas anyone?
