How to access the start menu? F10 is ignored. ESC is ignored.

I have a HPE175z running a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium.  I want to change the startup parameters.  When the system boots, the screen tells me that < F10 > give me access to the configuration.  F10 is completely ignored.  A message tells me later < ESC > will give me access to the Start Menu. < ESC > is also ignored.  Similarly, I have try all the keys are ignored - nothing interrupts the boot sequence.  How can I access the start menu?

The problem is that no key during the boot stopped the boot process and allowing me to enter the installation or startup configuration.  I swapped keyboards and the problem disappeared.  Apparently, the keyboard did not have during the boot sequence.

Thanks to all those who had a suggestion.

  • Cannot access the Start Menu - 6 Ultra

    I realize there are other threads on this problem but mine is a little diiferent.

    I just replaced memory in both my Ultra 6 s. The steps were:

    Ultra unit has

    Deletion of records

    New memory installed

    A run the memory test (past)

    Replacement discs

    Fact

    Ultra B

    Deletion of records

    New memory installed

    Could not access the Start Menu to run a memory test.

    Shared memory of unit A and B of the unit (with 'good' memory)

    Could not access the Boot Menu

    Blank placed in drive B and turned on.

    Could not access the Boot Menu

    Disk spent

    Has started doing a factory reset to unit B

    I pulled the plug when I saw "pending RAIDar.

    So it seems to B unit works fine except that I can't access the Start Menu.

    I guess that the reset button does not work on Unit B or is it possibly caused by something else?

    Here is my MAIN question:

    What should I expect when I put the original disks to unit B?

    I noticed that Studio B was assigned to a new IP address, so I'm a little unsure of what to expect.

    Ah, that could be just a bad reset button.

  • In the start-up procedure, how can I remove "press ESC to access the Start Menu" when the machine hangs at the HP logo screen?

    Hello

    I am running 64 Win7HP on a laptop HP dv3, processor Core 2 Duo 4 GB DDR2 Ram, 320 GB HD, just as it came out of the box when purchased directly from HP replaced EXCEPT Vista OS with 64bits Win7HP.  Machine worked fine until the LAST update of Windows, where during the reboot, I got to the HP logo screen and in the lower left corner of the screen appeared the statement (for THE FIRST TIME) "Press ESC for the Start Menu."  Pressing Esc translates into another command "press Esc...".  Break. " When you press ESC, you get a black screen until the machine goes to sleep UNLESS you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete. If you press the 3 key combo, it will continue to start and brings you to the screen of your password for access and then operate nicely, until you turn off the system. So, how can I get rid of the superfluous instructions and get this thing here where he turns and goes directly to the screen of password without intermediate steps?  Restore points are long since gone for immediate access to the front last Win Update.
    The answer may be simple, but until now it has escaped my low range.  Any help is appreciated.

  • Cannot access the start menu

    I have a HP Pavilion m7590n. It was in the light of household use for about 4 years and finally the master hard drive died.  I thought that I would put in a new drive and while I'm at it install windows 7 as well.

    The problem is that none of the F keys seem to work. I can't access all the settings of the bios or boot menu for I can boot from a CD.

    The blue screen of the HP says that esc = Boot Menu F1 = Setup F10 = system recovery

    None of these keys work. I tried every other F key without success and some good faith 4 different keyboards, including the USB one supplied with the computer. No idea what is the problem? Or what I am doing wrong?

    I just need to boot from the windows 7 CD so I can install the operating system on the new hard drive.

    Thanks for any help on the subject.

    Hello

    You should be able to access the bios without a hard drive.  I disabled the sata ports in the bios for hard drives and I can always access the bios.

    Try this procedure:

    Disconnect the PC and open it. Clean all the dust. Carefully, remove and replace all the cables towards the mother board one at a time. Do the same for memory DIMM and the video and the sound of cards if you have a.  You can buy a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the heatsink from the CPU.  Plug your PC back in and give it a go.

    Try this procedure and see if you can locate the problem. Troubleshooting problems of energy supply. Do not skip steps.

  • How to customize the start menu?

    Click on Start Win7

    Hello
    By clicking on the button start opens a tab on the left and a grey one, a white section a right.
    At the top of the right panel is the following folder names: - name of user, Documents, photos and music q. - can add a new folder to this upper part?

    As Hula wrote, you can only add files that start menu, right click, properties, customize allows you.

    - - - - - - - -

    However, you can change the behavior of these entries of Documents etc. in your Start menu.  There are two ways to achieve this.

    1 change the entry of Documents directly.  To see what I mean, right click on the entry of Documents & select Properties.  In the dialog box that appears, you can see how to include additional folders.

    2. add additional folders to your library of Documents using Windows Explorer.
