How do I open up BIOS when starting up?

I cannot figure out what key to hold down when starting windows xp professional to open up BIOS.
What do I have to hold down?

I am trying to do the same thing - access some type of BIOS or EFI upon startup.
The reason I am looking for the BIOS or EFI is because BitLocker (a drive encryption program) on my Vista side of things requires either: a TPM chip (which it seems I don't have), or the use of a USB key at startup.
Problem is: the BIOS needs to recognize USB in the "pre-operating system environment" (Microsoft's words). On a non-Mac machine, there is a setting in the BIOS to do this, but I don't know how to accomplish this task on a Mac.
Any ideas?

How to eliminate the "Ping" sound when starting and stopping videoing

How to eliminate the "ping" sound when starting and stopping a video on iPhone. Thanks.

I asked my friends on Facebook and one came up with the answer... I just had to flip the little "ring-silent switch" on the side of the iPhone to cut the "Pinging" sound! There's probably another way but this works!

How can I open a subvi when running a vi in an application (executable file)

I have a vi that I converted into an executable file. I would like to run it and at the same time be able to open the front panel of one of its subvis. Does anybody know how to do that?
Thanks,
Jerome.

You can set the SubVI to "Open Front Panel when Called" and "Close Afterward if Originally Closed" - that makes it a pop-up window. When your main calls it, the subVI window opens up. You do stuff, click the DONE button, and it disappears, and the main is up front again. (Make sure your subVI is MODAL if you do this).
You can use the VI SERVER to load the VI, given a path to it. You can set the subVI to "Open Front Panel when Loaded", or you can set FRONT PANEL.OPEN to TRUE when you want it to appear, and FALSE when you want it to go away.
You can make a subpanel on your main, and have the subVI inserted into that.

How do I eliminate the message when starting up PC - Apple Sync Notifier.exe – Entry Point Not Found – The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.

Getting the massage when starting up PC - Apple Sync Notifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found - The procedure entry point sqlite_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. How do I eliminate this message?

I'd first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe control panel, dc. Does that clear the message up?

How do you open port 3283 when firewall is off?

I've had no success trying to get ARD working on a new Snow Leopard Server 10.6.2 install on an XServe. Can't get it working from the Sharing control panel, and tried all the different syntax options in kickstart here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2342445&tstart=15
and here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370
A port scan shows that port 3283 is closed, but the computer firewall is off, and there is no external firewall. Another 10.6.2 Server works fine on ARD, so it's internal to the first one.
How can I open that port? Hoping that's the problem.
Thanking anyone for feedback.

It's probably a Mac OS X firewall fault, where it's actually holding that port closed even though it claims the firewall is off. I'd suggest you ask in the Mac OS X Server forum; you'll be more likely to get help with this problem there this not being an ARD problem per se.
This of course presumes that the Xserve isn't behind a router that might be filtering that port. If both Xserver are on the same subnet, that probably won't be the case, but if the problem Xserve is on a different subnet, you might check the router's filter.
Regards.

I don't want to open certain tabs when starting FF

I'm using a PC in a different environment and when I start FF 6.0 a couple of Tabs open that I no longer need. How do I stop FF from opening those Tabs?
Thanks,
John

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Since upgrading to version 32, firefox always opens old tabs when starting, even though i do not have this option set. Version 33.0.3 does the same.

When I updated Firefox to version 32, it started to always show my tabs from the last session when it is started. I tried changing the option "when Firefox starts" to all three of the available choices. None of these changed the behavior. It still opens the tabs that were last opened. I waited for the next release (33.0.3) but the behavior is still the same. I would like Firefox to open to my selected home page.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro.

One possibility is that Firefox keeps crashing during shutdown, and so Firefox is recovering from a crash every time. But if you can see that it is shutting down normally in your testing, that probably isn't it.
Sometimes external software will create or update an optional settings file named user.js. For some reason, one of the things that often shows up in there is a preference to restore your previous session just once. However, because Firefox uses user.js to override your normal settings every time it starts, that then turns into a permanent change. To check for this and remove any user.js file you find, try this support article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

How do I open the bios settings for a MSI760GMP34FX mainboard?

I know this is a stupid question but I have never had to do this before in my life and I tried googling it and I couldn't find anything helpful.
I think something may be wrong with the bios settings on my computer so I need to know how to open them up to check and change them but I have no idea how to do it and can't find any instructions. I think it's different for different types of mainboards from what I can tell but I am not sure.
My OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit if that makes any difference and my board is a MSI760GMP34FX mainboard.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I have no idea how to do this.
Thank you for your time.

Well thanks again. Hitting delete once on start up worked like a charm and now my Bluray burner drive is working good as new. I thought it had broken down and I would have to buy a new one but going into the Bios did the trick.
You saved me $70, thanks a bunch.

How can I avoid browser timeout when starting a Plsql procedure from Apex?

I start a procedure when pressing a button in my Application Express form.
This procedure take a while to run (about 10 min.)
How can I avoid the browser to timeout with Error Code 1460: Timeout ?
Is it possible to return to a page and let the procedure finish in the background. Or is it possible to get the Apex application sendig a message once in a while to keep the browser active?
Thanks in advance.
Evelyn

In HTML DB 1.6, you could create page processes that would run as background jobs.
Since 2.0, you can't directly select that option, but there's a work-around that may still work:
