    Hi,

    Ok you mean you need to press F12 to restart the computer AFTER you have started the reboot?

    Go into Settings/Setup and set the boot order to Hard Drive 1st and CD/DVD 2nd. Usually pressing

    F2 on many systems - watch the screen as it starts and it will tell you. My thinking is you are having

    to press F12 to temporarily reset the boot order. F12 can be entirely different on some systems so

    this might not be the case. 

    If that does not work please be specific about what you see and what you have to do to get it to

    boot up into Windows.

    Rob - Bicycle - Mark Twain said it right.

    yes, i think i do need someone else advice because your showing me how to restart my computer, which i can already do, as i mentioned i have a laptop i dont need to do CTRL + ESC, if you could show me some other methods on how to reboot my computer withought turning it off and pressing f12, then that could fix my issue
