Thanks Simon

It is a PB 333, about 18 mths old. There is no onscreen dialogue on
bootup, only the Packard Bell logo - which I can't disable either. I
don't even see the memory test!! There is also a password in the BIOS
which I must enter on every boot, it was set that way when I got the PC.
I would like to diable that too.
