Boot menu should be gone now.

(5 messages posted) BoBb, I did that and the menu went away! Now, my second monitor isn't working properly. Could this be related? I get the "If you can read this . . ." then your second mnitor is working, but I can't get it to work in Display Settings. it was working before the msconfig change? I'm puzzled and appreciate your help! -Jeff On Tuesday, November 18, 2003 at 3:41 pm, Bob wrote: >Start>run>type msconfig>normal startup > > [Reply or follow-up to this message] Tip: Use one of the [Reply or follow-up to this message] links above to add a message to this thread Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 98 Discussion Forum
