P45 Platinum - Vista works just fine, but unable to get into BIOS

This is my first build, so I'm still learning a lot. Be kind!
I'm using the P45 Platinum with an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0ghz Wolfdale cpu, 2 2gb sticks 1066mhz G-Skill ram, a Corsair 750w PSU, EVGA Nvidia 8800GTS video card, a 74gb WD Raptor HDD and a 250gb WD Caviar HDD (both SATA). I'm currently running 32bit Vista until 64bit has more support.
I have never been able to access the BIOS - before Vista was installed the splash screen was too fast so I kept missing my oppurtunity to enter BIOS, so I went ahead and put in the Vista install DVD. It installed just fine - it doesn't see my second HDD, but I expected that due to it being SATA.
I want to enter the BIOS to disable the audio so I can download the new Realtek audio drivers (I have no sound, even after installing the driver off the CD), but when I start up the computer and hit DEL (when prompted), it takes me to the Windows Boot Manager. Several times I have repeated the process and every time it takes me to the boot manager instead of the BIOS. The BIOS is obviously working, I just can't access it.
Any help is appreciated.

Simply keep hitting >DEL< as soon as the Splash screen appears. If that doesn't help, clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU. Upon restart the system should hold with a CMOS Checksum error and give you the chance to hit F1 to enter BIOS Setup. Now you can load "Optimized Defaults" and disable the BOOT LOGO.

My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod speaker even though the buds are properly connected.

My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod and iPhone speaker even though the buds are properly connected. Does anyone know why and is there a solution?

Assuming you are using Bluetooth headphones, do the apps have the option to use Bluetooth?
The app should have an option to select the speaker (or wired earphones) or the Bluetooth headphones.

Firefox closed and now it says that I get a connection error. IE and AOL work just fine but I use my Firefox won't connect

I use Firefox for going online all the time. Now, suddenly, when I try to connect it says the server can't be found. Internet Explorer and AOL are working just fine. However, I don't want to use them.

How do you fix this?

My modem works just fine, but my airport extreme refuses to connect to the internet. I even reset it more than once, changed the DNS servers and still nothing. Help

Ok so recently we were having problems with our phone. We had to disconnect our modem in order to fix the phone lines and when that happened, our airpot extreme disconnected itself from the internet. No matter what I did i could not get it to connect back. I would power down the modem, I would reset the AE and nothing would happen.
I tried changing the DNS server and nothing happened. I always get the same messages in the airport utility app: No internet connection and no DNS server
Nothing I seem to do works. I do know for a fact though, that the problem is not the modem. I have connected it through ethernet to other devices and the internet has worked just fine.
Please please please if anybody sees this help me out!!

Since you feel good about having internet access up to your Airport, I would suggest as a next step checking your Airport's status light to see if it is giving any clues as to what may be going on. Below is some info on what the light can indicate
AirPort Express Status light sequences and what they indicate.
No light (Off) - AirPort Express is unplugged
Solid green - AirPort Express is on and working properly.
Flashing amber - AirPort Express is not set up or cannot establish a connection to the network or
the Internet. Use AirPort Utility to find out the cause. See “If Your AirPort Express
Status Light Flashes Amber” on page 20.
Solid amber - AirPort Express is starting up.
Flashing amber and green - There may be a problem starting up. AirPort Express will restart

IPad not loading all the way,esp.on FB ,on wireless,it's working just fine but this

I 'm having a problem trying to load all my pages on Facebook,......iPad loads maybe one full screen here and then won't go any further. Even the loading circle ....lefthand top.....won't go round? I'm getting my emails in just fine ,it's just a few sites .......news.com.au loads okay and I can 'turn'over to the next screen etc but the minute I get on Facebook, this darned pad has a 'brain lock!'
My big PC is working okay ,can get everywhere on Facebook but not my iPad?

Appreciate some suggestions,please?

My iPod was working just fine but all of a sudden it won't connect to iTunes?

I've done everything I can think of! I system restored my computer, I reinstalled iTunes and even repaired it like two times, I've even installed an older version of iTunes. In the older version of iTunes it at least registers that I've connected my iPod to it... except it says "songs cannot be added to the iPod "%1$S" because all of its space has been reserved for data." And something about a FireWire and "You must connect using FireWire to restore the iPod ~^FILENAME"."
I've even ran multiple diagnostics scans through iTunes on the connectivity issue and this is what I've gotten each time:

Can anyone help me out? I'm so frustrated with my iPod.
To make it even better, my iPad won't even connect either.
However my friend has the same computer and it will connect to hers just fine. (The iPad will at least)
Thank you in advance for any and all help you can give me. ;~;

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Downloaded Mt Lion. Now my facetime launches then quits with message that there is a problem with the C_L Kernel Plugin. Everything else works just fine. I can get on line etc.

I have have an early 2008 imac 8,1 It has been a good machine no problems. UNTIL we downloaded Mt Lion. We can no longer use facetime. We click on the icon it comes up, tries to connect then it disappears with the message that there was a problem with the C_L Kernel Plugin. We can go on line without difficulty, everything else seems to be working. Searching the internet shows that others have had the same problem with Mt Lion. But so far I haven't found a solution. We have wiped the drive reloaded snow leopard then downloaded Mt Lion again. We put in a NEW hard drive and reloaded snow leopard then Mt Lion. We have changed out ram using apple ram. But we still get the same result. Everything works except for Facetime. Is there some patch we have missed? Facetime DOES work on our ipads without a hitch so I doubt it's the internet connection. We've tried the imac both wirelessly as the ipads run and hardwired and get no where fast. So any help at all would be appreciated. We live in the boonies, the nearest mac repair is over 150 miles away so this is pretty nuch a do it myself affair. We know the machine is old by most standards today. But we pretty much run our machines until they can't power up. So we'd like to get this one back on its perch so to speak with its face time working.
Thank you ahead of time for any advise help given.

A log may help determine what the issue is ...
Open the Console app located in HD > Applications > Utilites
Select: System Diagnostic Reports on the left.

Just bought 2 of the iPhone 5's 4 days ago mine worked just fine but my wife's will not conect to the data plan so is unable to get on net or chats unless she is home on the wifi connection what to do? Went to the carrier they sed it's apples issue

They do not have any to give her a dif one so now what

If you have tried a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears, and there is not a difference in bahvaior, take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out for replacement.

I did a Sony Vaio Care maintenance and now Explorer works find, Firefox won't open Gmail except in HTML and won't display features on Facebook or parts of webpages. Java is on. Flahs is OK. Explorer works just fine but Firefox will not.

Gmail will not open except in HTML
My homepage ButchNews.com will not display google ads, nor content from some widgets.
Facebook messages will not open.
But everything works fine in Explorer... except I hate Explorer.

I was having this problem too and found an easy fix from another thread. Finally have my firefox back up and running!! See below:
"Easy to fix. Clear your browser cache (Tools > Clear Recent History > select Cache, click Clear Now).
That fixed it for me. I have to do it every time I run Vaio Care."

Its working just fine but does it look good? Take a look and give me your advice!

I got to say that this is my first finnished labview program, and it's working fine, almost no problems. But i'm not that shure about
this huge while loop with all its instructions. Normaly a while loop takes 1 ms to iterate once, but this loop takes more than one ms,
I'm using another subVI to catch data up to 5 ms. / sample as output from measurement device to the while loop in this Sub vi, and then from this sub VI i'm initializing the data value read from the Measurement device, to a global variable that i read in this huge while loop. I belive that the subVI while loop iterates several times before the huge loop iterates once. Meaby thats why my graphs for the data are plotting more than one data at a time.
Take a look and give your advice, it seems that all the measurements are well. And I don't really got problems with the program when running, exept from small delays when I switch the sample rates.

I agree with Titou.
Wow! That's an eye-full.
There are some functions like setting audio On / Off that may not need to be in there. Or do they? You'd have to describe what the loop is supposed to do. Same comment for the indicator display settings on property nodes. Do you intend to turn them on/off a number of times during an iteration of the loop?
You should "divide & conquer". By that I mean, use sub-vi's that are function specific. As mentionned by Titou, you should have a look at the development guidelines. Basically, now that you have a working loop, you can improve it by creating some sub-vi's, revisit some items that may not need to be in the loop. As a matter of fact, you could create some control & indicators and maybe transform the loop into a sub-vi as well.
There are many Case Statements that you could convert to sub-vi's and that way, you could eliminate the global variables by using indicators and wiring directly to them.
However, I would have to say that the value for "Write Flow Data" might become unpredictable due to race conditions. Revisit how the value(s) are set for that one.
But it does look like you had some fun doing this one. Which is the most important thing. To have fun implementing solutions with LV.
Happy wiring!

Firefox was working just fine but the last few days it won't let me open it because it says it's already running but it's not how do I close it to open it?

This is the message I get whenever I click on the Foxfire icon on my computer. Even when it has been down for hours:"Foxfire is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
