| | Start Up on Vista I just recently purchased an Dell XPS410 with Vista Home Premium and every time I start up the computer I get a Boot Sequence on the screen before it goes to the main start up screen. Is this normal? If not how can I get rid of the boot sequence? When I had XP I would not see this at start up, just on reboots. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

| | Re: Start Up on Vista Hi, What do you mean by 'boot sequence'? What exactly are you seeing? If you are referring to the system POST where the devices are enumerated and the memory is checked, this would be normal. Many manufacturers hide this behind a logo or splash screen, but it still occurs. After this, you should see the Vista loading screen, then eventually the logon screen. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "mag185" <mag185@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:70816B36-1E16-4800-A34A-79F22F4E97F1@microsoft.com... >I just recently purchased an Dell XPS410 with Vista Home Premium and every > time I start up the computer I get a Boot Sequence on the screen before it > goes to the main start up screen.

It tells the computer what you have plugged in and sends information to your Ram memory so the computer can load those programs real fast. XP did it as well. -- Ian |

| | Re: Start Up on Vista Been awhile since had a Dell, but during the first boot screen you will see a note telling you what key to press to enter BIOS setup. Sometimes it's the Del key, sometimes F2, sometimes F8 iirc, Once there look for an option to display or not display the dell logo -- Steve Easton "mag185" <mag185@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:137EAD90-C769-4CF1-9CA0-987C4FFEE50A@microsoft.com... > Where would that be and how would I set that so it would hide it? > > Mark > > > > "Steve Easton" wrote: > >> It's "normally" an option in the BIOS settings. >> >> >> -- >> >> Steve Easton >> >> >> "mag185" <mag185@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:C8B7F0D8-F189-47C7-87EB-86BB82EE64B5@microsoft.com... >> > Hi, >> > >> > Yes, that is what I'm seeing, is there any way to hide that? >> > >> > Mark >> > >> > >> > >> > "Rick Rogers" wrote: >> > >> >> Hi, >> >> >> >> What do you mean by 'boot sequence'?
