My computer will boot but not automatically. For some reason the computer stops on the page that will send you to the setup F1 or F2 for continue page. I have to hit F2 for the computer to continue to boot. I am sure that I caused this problem when I went into the bios settings for some reason or another.
Phonenix AwardBios (rev 3.07), HP Pavilion a1268c, Windows XP.
It must be an easy thing to fix. Any ideas? Thanks!

You most likely selected Default Settings when you exited BIOS. They are not necessarily the best settings, or even not exactly what you want... but if you are satisfied with them just go into BIOS Setup, and exit, but Saving the settings.
Job done. It just wants you to confirm that you like the defaults... which are really just a bunch of low-level, suit just about anything settings for when you are desperate.
