re-read what he said..... he isn't loosing the configuration, it justs
wants attention. I have had this happen before too. I just change
things until it stops :-) I think something gets crossed up when
changing things around too much, and it asks for F1 to be pressed. You
can start over from scratch by pulling the battery..... I have had to do
that once or twice when I really screwed things up, to the point that it
hung while the bios was loading :-)
