knarayanan Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have 98SE on my Dell XPS600r. Whenever I start up, it gives me the option to start in Normal, safe etc. I tried setting up Normal as a default thru. MSCONFIG. No luck. Can any one walk me thru, what I need to do other than reinstalling Windows. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.Try editing C:\CONFIG.SYS and add a default entry with a time out:[Menu]MenuItem=DOSMenuItem=NetBSDMenuItem=LinuxMenuDefault=Linux,5In the above example, the "Linux" option will be chosen in 5 seconds.
