| 110113 | 2003-01-02 11:26:00 | try The ESC key when you see the hp screen at start up, this may let you see the nomal "boot-up" screed. keep repeatedly pushing the esc key while the hp screen shows. HP ususally only used esc and/or f2 In network properties, client for microsoft networks, properties, the pc may be set up to connect to a domain creating your admin problem. Remove the domain settings and try it. luck dude |
