Why can't I get F2 or F12 to work to get into BIOS..........

Hi,

I have VMWare 6.0.2

Yes I have the machine in focus, and I know I have pressed F2 and F12 then the BIOS loading, ok you have to be verry verry verry quick.

I have also try triedbios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE" in vmx .

Hmmm, Grrr, I am frustrated.....

Me again,

My Virtual Machine is Windows Server 2003 standard sp1, when I think of it I dont have such problem with Windows XP VM.

See the line to add in the .vmx file which was given to me by Continuum - he/she is one of the major posters and always very helpful.

bios.bootDelay = "5000" This will make the screen go by much slower.

Thanks I will try, I also notice that if you klick twice ju jump out of the BIOS,

So, I think many get stressed when you click and klick F2 one time to much and jump out of BIOS.
