In the computer's startup process, it looks to firmware settings
before it reads in the Windows Operating system. If you can see
the screen, it will give you a key combination to press to edit
these options. You can't use a screen reader to do any of this
work because your screen reading software sees only what Windows
knows about, and at this point in the boot process, there is no
Windows Operating System.

I have always thought this was a bios issue - you can tell your
computer where to look as it gets ready to boot so that, in the
event of a hard disk failure, you can look somewhere else for a
system. In my case, I foolishly set that option to look at my
CD
and my USB, and so, with some USB disk units, I have to
disconnect them.

My experience with many USB devices causing XP not to boot
properly has more
to do with the devices' level of USB. By and large, if I have a
USB 1.1
device connected (my USB 1.1 hub, for example), XP won't boot.

No, Windows XP is funny about stuff like that. My card reader
can prevent
Windows from starting if I fail to disconnect it before
rebooting
my
computer. This is a common problem.

I don't know about your question, but your computer not
starting
is
likely a problem with your usb ports. The second part may
well
have
to do with the bookport.

Hi all,
I have a feeling that when bookport launcher is activated and
I
connect my
mp3 player, nothing happens. Heres what happens:
1. The computer is powered off, and I connect my mp3 player.
2. I turn the computer on. I end up having to unplug the
player
in order
for windows to start.
3. When windows starts and I plug the player in again, I did
an
experement: I opened bookport transfer. Nothing happens.
4. I disconnect the player. I here the usual sound that means
the bookport
is not connected.
5. I connect the player again: and close the transfer
software.
It stil
won't come up as a removable disk (my mp3 player, I mean).
6. When I disconnect and connect the player again, it will
come
up as a
removable disk, like normal. I am wondering, would the
transfer
software
somehow associate my player with the bookport?
just curious, and thanks.
Tyler
