hello all,
My aunt came to visit, and brought with here a hand-me-down laptop that her friend gave to her.
She told me that she can't get onto the internet because the proxy server settings in the control pannel where greyed out, so that she couldn't change them. she also said that its running slowly.
I booted it up, and it has half a dozen different torrent programs, and I can't find any reason for it to be doing what she said its doing.
So, I wanted to run a virus scan off a live disc before I do anything else. Unfortunetly I can't seem to find the boot menu, and the bios is still booting to the hard disc first, regardless of what the boot order is. F2 gets me into the bios (so that doesn't work), F12 doesn't work, F10 doesn't work.
so my question is this, how can I get to the boot menu for a sony viao VGN-NR430E?
Edit: Oh, and while I do have an OEM copy of windows 7, that licence says that I have to build the computer in order to be allowed to install it.
