| 133916 | 2003-04-06 23:25:00 | I have a MSI K3 Ultra MS6380E motherboard and an Athlon 2000+ CPU. Over the weekend I noticed my comp. was running slower than usual. After a long investigation I discovered that all my cmos settings had reverted to default. Strange! I had not been in there for a couple of months. When I tried to reset them I found that while I could change them I could not exit the page. My Esc key would not take me out of the page. Ultimately I removed the battery and gave it an hour to clean out all settings. Replaced the battery and rebooted. No problems.Everything was set to default However I could still not exit a page. I reset everything a page at a time and exited with F10 (Save changes and exit) A slow process. My comp. is running perfectly with no problems, but Esc. still does not work in Cmos. Esc works normaly in Windows. Also I tried another keyboard, just the same. There must be someone out there who knows more than me. Help!! Jack |

| 133919 | 2003-04-07 03:24:00 | Quick way to check ESC key is working - Click on Start button so that Start Menu pops up then press ESC key and it should dissappear. Check out www.msi.com.tw and see if there is a BIOS update for your board if the ESC key is working! |

| 133920 | 2003-04-07 03:35:00 | The start menu just sat there. Guess that means a new keyboard. Actually I flashed my bios this am. even though i had the latest update. That didn't help. Jack |

| 133921 | 2003-04-07 03:45:00 | run a program called Norton Diagnostics, it will run tests on everything, including ur keyboard, if u are really serious about finding out way ur escape dont work in CMOS :) norton diagnostics runs in DOS i think :) | Jams (1051) | ||
| 133922 | 2003-04-07 04:41:00 | Is that the only key that doesnt work? Check the others | TallPoppy (3506) | ||
