Though you haven't mess up with bios, perhaps the os had made such an unnecessary changes without your knowledge. So in that case, you should restore your bios with sighted friend. Note, as bios is design to use only for intermediate or advance user, little mistake can cause your machine in an unpredictable result! -----Original message----- From: austin pinto Sent: 05/06/2013, 7:13 pm To: access uk; accessindia; [email protected]; Voice Vision.
