How Do I Cancel ME Manual (F8) Boot-up

[mnd4bsns2004]

I used F8 to "interrupt" my computer's boot-up to get to
safe mode to troubleshoot a ScanDisk problem. I've fixed
that. Now how do I cancel the F8 manual "stop" that keeps
happening every time? I want it to return to
full "automatic" boot-up.

Thanks!

P.S. Windows ME on a HP Pavilion 8566C

Ah! you didn't say that in your original post on the general group

Try:
"Computer Starts Only in Safe Mode and System Restore Does Not Work
Properly"

See if that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion...but, I don't have Norton Anti-
Virus loaded--so that's not it... Yes, it does happen
everytime I turn on/boot up. There's got to be a simple
way to cancel this...it was certainly simple to engage
it...
Thanks again. Any other suggestions?

OK, but did you look in msconfig to see if you may have the 'Enable Startup
Menu' box set. Run msconfig.exe and on the General tab, select Advanced and
ensure that the 'Enable Startup Menu' box is unchecked.

The other thought is - are you sure that you really are in Safe Mode? Does
it say 'Safe Mode' in each corner of the screen?
