Start Up

I have just installed a new MSI motherboard. When the computer starts I am given the F1 option to continue or the DEL option to enter set up. All I want the computer to do when I switch on is move from the MSI screen to Windows XP.

 

Usually when getting a new motherboard, it's wise to do a fresh install of XP. However, it's not always necessary though I recommend it, personally.

In this case, it could be that your motherboard drivers aren't configured properly, and therefore a new installation is required.

 

Thanks. Have already completely reinstalled a fresh copy of XP, but to no avail. I seem to remember that there was a setting somewhere that allowed an option for starting with the manufacturers screen first or the ms-dos type black and white screens?

 

There is an option in bios to disable logo screen,you can also set your first boot device as your harddrive in bios,if its a new msi board you should also have a boot menu,you can enter this by pressing F11,'tap it just after the memory check' in here you can setup your boot preference,once you have set these windows should auto load
