Cheryl,

Glad to hear you got it working, if you can't shut it up because it then
stays shut up, you can always hit the control key say once a second as it
comes up, that's what I do so that I can at least monitor things as the
box comes up, not a perfect solution but at least you won't have to wait
while it tells you all about your cpu and bios! *grin*
