One is related to startup and booting options Have a look in there and follow your nose :-) Hope this helps Chill.	Chilling_Silently (228)

When finished editing exit and save the boot.ini file, Click OK and OK again to exit from 'My Computer'. Next time you boot your pc, the changes would be (should be) apparent.
