re: Question about 'How do I get back into Windows XP' Saturday, November 16, 2002 at 10:11 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ian Rivlin (8 messages posted) I finally found out the problem - absurdly simple and irritatingly obscure - I just set the BIOS to "Fail Safe Defaults" and everything started working again.
