My sons Dell desktop comes after Logon and the desktop comes on for a sec fades away to start the reboot sequence. We have found no way to get in to try safe mode to restore. Tried to change the boot sequence to start on CD to attempt XP repair but after making the change the F1 to restart does not do anything and it stays on the setup. Can anyone help us to at least get back in to save the inportant info or get this working again? Thank you

Jump to Postso even pressing f8 it does not give you boot options and straight away takes you to the login screen???

Jump to PostMike did it not show any change when you took out the cmos battery to reset the bios?? If you haven't tried it then i'd say give it a go and hopefully we ll see a ray of light.
